So I assume you are staying on Maui the whole trip.
Obviously a lot will depend on COVID restrictions.
Maui must do’s:
Road to Hana
Dinner at Mama’s Fish House
Sunrise at Haleakala (my wife hated this lol but it is a thing)
Snorkeling at the crater

Bike down the volcano. I hear that is great to do and your start above cloud level. Maui is more for relaxing on the beaches. If you want to sight see go to Honolulu

Also, each island has their online Covid restrictions.

We've been going to Maui for over 11 years now and have never done it. We're supposed to go next week, and my husband has finally agreed to do Haleakala. Well, they've reduced capacity and I can't get a sunrise reservation despite being online right at the time they release them.

There’s plenty to see and do on Maui. I was there almost a week and barely did any beach relaxing.

When are you going? Whale watching is in prime season this time of year.

Its expensive but worth every bit of it. We went in the evening and got the sunset overlooking the cliffs and the ocean. It was awesome. OP definitely do some kind of excursion with snorkeling involved. Beautiful reefs and fish to see. Have fun and hope the covid restrictions aren't too bad

I also recommend The Millhouse which was to me just as good as Mama’s and an equally unique atmosphere.
But Mama’s is essential.

Did you get to go to the Fleetwood Restaurant? We wanted too but only had 4 days in Maui and some were filled with work obligations. We also spent five days in Oahu which was pretty awesome slso.

Best Island and one of the better hotels
Since you will be in Waliea go to Fat Daddys Smokehouse and Da Kitchen both are amazing
Try Like Poke or Thai Me Up food trucks both are near the OGG airport
All the stuff to see and do has been mentioned for the most part

Don't go until you check all the COVID restrictions. One couple just last week was denied entry because the state didn't have the MAYO clinic on their list of acceptable testing partners. THE MAYO CLINIC?
Yeah, Hawaii is a mess right now.

Their site pretty clearly states their approved testing centers. Seems like that couple should have checked first 
We’re going to Maui in early April. Staying at the Grand Wailea and Hyatt Hana. There’s tons of great stuff to do or you can just relax. The Andaz is great honeymoon spot — Recently updated, nice pools, fairly quiet beach front.
Mama’s fish house is a great honeymoon dinner.
Road to Hana is worth it. There are tons of great YouTube videos on the various stops along the way. It’s too much to do in one day, so you either have to pick your spots or stay in Hana. Check out some videos to see what tickles your fancy.
If you go in Dec-May, you can go whale watching.
Go snorkeling with sea turtles.
Check out sunrise and/or sunset at haleakala national park. You can rent a bike and ride down, too
There’s a ton of good hiking on both sides of the island.
Try your hand at surfing or body surfing.

If y'all are fairly active and think you might want to stray off the resort to do a little bit of hiking and sightseeing, check out Kauai.
From what I read though, the issue with that island is it's absurdly strict right now even vs the other islands, although that is expected to be reduced over the next couple of months (presumably vaccine situation will help a lot as well). I emailed a boat tour company there the other day as I'm also planning a trip, and he did expect to be back up and running this summer, albeit with no guarantees.

Sunrise at Haleakala and riding bikes down is easily one of the best adventures I’ve ever taken. I would recommend one of the bike tours that gives you the bikes at the top and then you return them at the bottom rather than riding with a group the whole way down

What did she hate about it? I have doubts the long drive and early wake up are worth the effort.

Snorkeling at the crater
Expanding (Maui only):
-Obviously, go to a luau. (Covid permitting)
-Our crater snorkel included swimming w/ sea turtles. We got lucky and saw whales on the run back to the marina. (You don’t necessarily need a separate excursion for each).
-Snowcones/smoothies at overlook on road to Pe’ahi. Watch surfers, hop the fence and walk down to surfer’s memorial.
-Road to Hana: Just advising a FULL day for this. Don’t buy your banana bread until Halfway to Hana.
-Food trucks: Saw this mentioned. Seek out the tuna poke bowl truck like the tree of life.
-Mama’s: Best fish I’ve ever had. Try to time your reservation to get some pics at sunset - it was too dark for good pics by the time we tried.
Traffic should be lighter amidst Covid, but allot for driving time. If you need more suggestions, I can try and dig up my old Maui post.

Luau for sure
We did a similar snorkle tour, at the crater, swam with sea turtles by the shore and it turned into a whale watching tour as well, we could also see the whales from where we stayed
Road to Hana is a full day and we did a tour that ended at a winery with wine tastings
If you want to see another island do it on the front or back end of your trip
