Maui is the second largest island in Hawaii. Also called the “Valley Isle,” it is located between two volcanoes and includes a great variety of terrain. With its valleys, steep ravines, and stunning beaches, Maui’s climate varies between mild temperatures, high humidity, trade winds, sunshine, and rainfall. Because of its irregular terrain, conditions change from one area to another.
Maui is famous for whale watching, where Humpback whales come to shelter between the islands during the winter season. Their trek from Alaskan waters to the warm waters off of the island allow for excellent viewing, where they cluster in pods to enjoy the balmy temperatures as they mate and give birth.
With its beautiful rain forest on the northern side, Maui has been able to keep much of its area free of exploitation. However other areas of the island are ideal for all of the exciting outdoor activities that one expects from the Hawaiian islands. Hiking, camping, surfing, kayaking, fishing, and surfing are just some of the ways you can enjoy a Maui vacation. Browsing the museums and galleries, shopping in some of the excellent stores, or dining in one of the world class restaurants are other activities you can find in town. Night brings its own magic, with everything from a walk on the starlit beach to dancing til dawn at one of the local discos.
There is a special magic to Maui and one that brings exquisite memories long after you’ve gone.
