Maui

"The Valley Isle"

Maui is the perfect choice for first time visitors to Hawaii because it offers something for just about everyone. World class resorts, beautiful scenery, abundance of activities, incredible shopping, white sand beaches and crystal clear waters-all combine to make the island of Maui an unbeatable destination! Which is why, for an unprecedented 15th time, Maui captured "Best Island In The World" honors in the 22nd annual CONDE NAST TRAVELLER Reader's Awards Poll. With a score of 90.1, Maui was also voted "Best Pacific Island" for the 19th consecutive year.

Here you will be surrounded by tantalizing choices, explore the historic Iao Valley, snorkel Molokini, bike down the volcano, take the winding road to Hana and dip in the seven pools at Ohe'o Gulch - then slow down and enjoy a beachfront massage, or watch the sunset over the blue Pacific. From the 10,023 foot crater of Mt. Haleakala to the sun-drenched shores of Kaanapali Beach, Maui quite simply, has it all.
