For Seniors

Back to MauiMaui, Hawaii for Senior CItizens

Discounts for seniors are available at almost all of Maui's major attractions, and occasionally at hotels and restaurants. Always inquire when making hotel reservations, and especially when you're buying your airline ticket -- most major domestic airlines offer senior discounts.

Members of AARP (tel. 800/424-3410 or 202/434-2277; www.aarp.org) are usually eligible for such discounts. AARP also puts together organized-tour packages at moderate rates.

Some great, low-cost trips to Hawaii are offered to people 55 and older through Elderhostel, 75 Federal St., Boston, MA 02110 (tel. 617/426-8056; www.elderhostel.org), a nonprofit group that arranges travel and study programs around the world. You can obtain a complete catalog of offerings by writing to Elderhostel, P.O. Box 1959, Wakefield, MA 01880-5959.

If you're planning to visit Haleakala National Park, you can save sightseeing dollars if you're 62 or older by picking up a Golden Age Passport from any national park, recreation area, or monument. This lifetime pass has a one-time fee of $10 and provides free admission to all of the parks in the system, plus a 50% savings on camping and recreation fees. You can pick one up at any park entrance. Be sure to have proof of your age with you.
