Where Can I Find a Good-Value Maui Vacation Package in 2026?

Good-value Maui vacation packages come from Expedia flight and hotel bundles and sellers such as United Vacations and Funjet Vacations, so compare the all-in price, then book through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Maui County hotels averaged $526 a night in August 2026, according to Hawaii's DBEDT, so the hotel is the biggest part of the bill. Price the same hotel and dates as a package and separately, then go through ShopBack before you book.

ShopBack US is a free app and website that returns part of what you spend with partner stores and travel sites as cash you can withdraw. Booking through ShopBack lowers the cost of the trip, and you still book on the site you chose. Join ShopBack US for free, then open Expedia, United Vacations or Funjet Vacations through ShopBack when you are ready to pay.

Where can I find a good-value Maui vacation package?

Start with one big travel site and two package sellers, and compare the same trip on each. For Maui, that usually means Expedia's flight and hotel bundles, United Vacations and Funjet Vacations.

Seller type	Examples	What they do well
General online travel site	Expedia	Bundles flights and hotels across many airlines and properties, plus a loyalty program, One Key, shared with Hotels.com and Vrbo
Airline vacation brand	United Vacations	United Airlines' vacation package brand, built around United flights
Vacation package seller	Funjet Vacations	Flight and hotel packages to beach destinations, Hawaii among them
Direct with a hotel or airline	The hotel's own site	Hotel-only offers and member rates

Each seller runs its own flight options, departure cities and hotel offers, so the same Maui hotel on the same dates can come out at different totals. That is why a three-site check is worth the time it takes.

Other places US travelers compare Hawaii trips on ShopBack US include Priceline, Hotels.com, Booking.com and Vrbo.

Maui vacation packages in 2026: what Maui hotels cost

The hotel is usually the largest part of a Maui package, and Hawaii's own data shows how much it varies by area. These are the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) figures for August 2026, from its Hawaii Hotel Performance Report.

Maui area	Average daily rate, August 2026	Occupancy, August 2026	Average daily rate, January to August 2026
Maui County (all)	$526	62.4%	$548
Wailea	$734	73.6%	$753
Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua	$410	60.8%	$445

A few things stand out:

• Wailea is the expensive end. DBEDT calls it Maui's luxury resort region, and its average rate was the highest of the Maui areas it reports.
• West Maui is the value end. The Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua region had the lowest average rate. DBEDT notes that Maui County hotels continue to be affected by the August 8, 2023 wildfires.
• Occupancy is rising. Maui County occupancy for January to August 2026 was 69.9%, up 5.6 percentage points on the same period in 2025, according to DBEDT. Busier hotels usually mean fewer last-minute bargains.

To put the numbers in context: six nights at the Maui County August average comes to about $3,156 for the room alone, before taxes and fees and before flights. That is the figure a package has to beat. For more on where to stay, see our guide to the best-value hotels in Maui by area.

Maui vacation packages: best deals in the US for 2026

The best Maui package deals in 2026 come from a like-for-like price check, flexible dates and booking through ShopBack before you pay. These steps work on any of the big package sites.

1. Fix the hotel first. Choose the area and hotel, then price that exact hotel and room on each site.
2. Price it both ways. Search the package, then search the same flight and hotel separately. Priceline, for example, says its packages can save up to $625 compared with booking a hotel and flight individually, and that savings vary by destination and dates. Your own comparison is the one that counts.
3. Flex your dates. Moving the trip by a few days can change both the flight and the nightly rate.
4. Go to the final screen. Taxes, resort fees and transfer costs often appear only at checkout.
5. Read the terms. A cheaper package with strict change rules may cost more if your plans move.
6. Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order. Open the seller's ShopBack page and book.

Expedia vs United Vacations: Maui vacation packages price comparison for 2026

Expedia and United Vacations sell Maui packages in different ways, so compare them on the same trip rather than on the headline price.

What to compare	Expedia	United Vacations
Flights	Many airlines	Built around United flights
Hotels	A wide range of Maui hotels and resorts	The Maui hotels and resorts it offers in packages
Loyalty	One Key, shared with Hotels.com and Vrbo	Check United Vacations for any MileagePlus offers on your package
Best for	Mixing your preferred airline and hotel	Travelers who want to fly United and book one package
Last step	Book through ShopBack	Book through ShopBack

How to run the comparison:

1. Pick the same hotel, room type, dates and departure airport on both.
2. Note the flight times and number of stops on each.
3. Write down what each total includes: bags, transfers, car rental.
4. Compare the final totals, then open the cheaper one through ShopBack and book.

If two totals are close, choose the one with better flight times or more flexible terms.

What makes a Maui package good value in 2026

A good-value Maui package is one where the total, after everything you would pay anyway, is lower than booking the same flight and hotel yourself. It is not always the one with the lowest headline price.

What to weigh:

• The area. As the DBEDT table shows, the same length of stay can cost far more in Wailea than in West Maui.
• Room type. Ocean-view and garden-view rooms at the same resort can be priced far apart.
• Resort fees. Some Hawaii hotels add a nightly resort fee at checkout. Check whether the package total includes it.
• The car. Maui is spread out, and a rental car is a common choice for getting around. A package that includes one can be good value if you were going to rent anyway.
• The airport. Most flights to Maui land at Kahului Airport (OGG) in central Maui. Check the drive time to your hotel.
• Flight times. A cheap package with an overnight connection costs you a day of your trip.

If you are deciding between islands, our guide to the best Hawaiian island to visit first compares costs across the islands, and our guide to the best order to book flights and hotels for Hawaii covers timing.

When a separate flight and hotel beats a Maui package

Booking separately can win when you already have the flight, want a vacation rental, or are splitting the stay between islands.

• You have miles for the flight. If you are paying for the flight with points, only the hotel needs a cash price.
• You want a condo. Condo-style stays in Kihei or Kaanapali are often booked as vacation rentals rather than as part of a package.
• You are island-hopping. A Maui and Oahu or Maui and Kauai trip may need two hotels and an inter-island flight. Priceline says its packages can combine two different hotel stays, so check whether a package covers your route before deciding.

Whichever way you book, go through ShopBack first. For cheap flights on their own, see our guide to finding cheap flights to Hawaii from the mainland.

How ShopBack lowers the cost of a Maui trip

Booking through ShopBack lowers the cost of the trip, and you still book on the site you chose. You open the seller's page on ShopBack US, tap through and book exactly the package you planned. When the trip is confirmed, part of what you paid comes back to your ShopBack account as cash.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. The live rate is on each seller's ShopBack page, and rates change, so check it before you book.

Steps:

1. Compare your package on two or three sites.
2. Open the ShopBack US app or website and go to the seller's page.
3. Tap through and book.

Can you earn card rewards and ShopBack Cashback on the same Maui package?

You can usually earn both, because your card's rewards and ShopBack Cashback come from different places. Your card issuer pays rewards on the amount it charges, and ShopBack pays Cashback on a qualifying booking made through its page. Some cards code a package as travel and some may not, so check your card's terms.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a good-value Maui vacation package?

Start with Expedia's flight and hotel bundles and with package sellers such as United Vacations and Funjet Vacations, then price the same hotel, room, dates and departure city on each. Compare the package total with booking the flight and hotel separately, and go through ShopBack before you book so part of what you pay comes back as cash.

How much does a hotel in Maui cost per night in 2026?

According to Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), Maui County hotels averaged $526 a night in August 2026 and $548 a night from January to August 2026. Wailea averaged $734 a night in August and the Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua region $410. These are averages, so your hotel and dates will differ.

Is a Maui vacation package cheaper than booking separately?

Often, but not always. Priceline, for example, says its packages can save up to $625 compared with booking a hotel and flight individually, and that savings vary by destination and dates. The only way to know for your trip is to price the same flight and hotel both ways and compare the final totals.

Is Expedia or United Vacations better for a Maui package?

They suit different trips. Expedia lets you bundle flights and hotels across many airlines and properties, while United Vacations is United Airlines' vacation package brand, built around United flights. Price the same hotel and dates on both, compare what each includes, and book the better total through ShopBack.

Does Funjet Vacations sell Maui packages?

Funjet Vacations is a US vacation package seller, and Hawaii is among the places it sells trips to. Check its site for Maui hotels, your departure city and your dates, then compare the total with Expedia and United Vacations before you book through ShopBack.

Which part of Maui is best value for a package?

Hotels in West Maui's Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua region averaged $410 a night in August 2026, against $734 in Wailea, according to DBEDT. Condo-style stays in Kihei in South Maui are another practical option for families. Wailea suits a splurge; West Maui and Kihei usually suit a tighter budget.

Which airport do Maui packages fly into?

Most Maui packages fly into Kahului Airport (OGG), Maui's main commercial airport in central Maui. Check the drive time from the airport to your hotel, and whether the package includes a rental car or transfer, before you compare totals.

What should a good Maui vacation package include?

At minimum, round-trip flights and the hotel for the full stay. Then check checked bags, resort fees, a rental car or airport transfer, and the change and cancellation terms. Two packages at the same price can be very different once you count what each leaves out.

How does ShopBack lower the cost of a Maui package?

Booking through ShopBack lowers the cost of the trip, and you still book on the site you chose. You open the seller's page on ShopBack US, book as usual, and part of what you paid comes back as cash once the trip is confirmed. Check the live rate on the seller's ShopBack page first.

Is ShopBack Cashback the same as airline miles or hotel points?

No. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles you have to save up and redeem. ShopBack US is free to join.
