Maui

The Magic Isle

Turquoise seas, rugged mountains, or lush rainforests, Maui is naturally remarkable. A place to wake at dawn and catch the sunrise over Haleakala Crater, snorkel in the ocean with turtles and tropical fish, or simply relax by the shore at one of its white sand beaches. Maui’s easy-going lifestyle is warm, friendly, and irresistible.

Maui is one of Hawaii’s most popular destinations, and home to more than 80 beaches, waterfalls, undulating fields of  sugar cane, and three peaks – each over a mile high. We’ll bet that after traveling to Maui, you join the locals in saying it’s No Ka Oi, which means ‘the best’.

 

The west shore of Maui offers lush, green mountainside as well as sprawling white sand beaches. Lahaina, a historic whaling village, is not far away and boasts shopping, restaurants and a growing art community. The islands of Lanai and Molokai across the channel add to the spectacular ocean views.  As you travel north, the shoreline is interspersed with pockets of sandy beaches.

South Maui almost always has a clear view of the neighboring islands Molokini and Kaho’olawe. Sunshine is practically guaranteed as it receives less than a foot of rainfall a year!  The coastline attracts both locals and tourists who enjoy body boarding, snorkeling, surfing, or simply walking along the ocean.

Upcountry is predominantly farming and cowboy country. Haleakala National Park is nearby, offering day hikes, bike rides and backpacking through the dormant volcano. Haleakala is famous for its otherworldly vistas and breathtaking sunrises.

 

Hana is only accessible by a plane or by a winding coastal road through a rainforest and past waterfalls. It’s an adventure in itself and takes approximately 3 hours to drive. You’ll fall in love with this quaint village, enjoy seeing black, white and red sand beaches, and marvel at the luxuriant foliage of the east shore.
