Maui, Hawaii
Since rising from the depths of the ocean over one million years ago, the Hawaiian island of Maui, nicknamed “The Valley Isle,” remains a land of remarkable contrasts. Geologists claim that Hawaii’s second-largest island was formed when two volcanoes erupted underneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The Polynesians began inhabiting the island around 800 AD, and today Maui welcomes over two million visitors annually.
Maui boasts numerous attractions. One of her charms is the old royal capital and whaling town of Lahaina, which has been named a National Historic Landmark. Across Maalaea Bay and south of Lahaina is the resort area of Wailea; north of Lahaina are the resort areas of Ka’anapali and Kapalua; and Hana, once a favorite resort of Hawaiian kings, is on the eastern tip of the island.
The Hana Highway, with its cascading waterfalls and views of the rugged coast, offers some of the Pacific’s most fantastic sights!
