There's a certain indefinable quality to life on Maui. Your heart beats a little slower, kids' smiles are just a little brighter and lovers linger just a little longer with each kiss. It's no wonder that Maui holds such a special place in the hearts of so many people. The western and southern coasts are home to most of the major resorts, golf courses and restaurants.
Tourist attractions tend to be spread all over the island.
Half of the fun of visiting this tropical paradise can be found on the day-trips to the natural wonders and historical features that Maui has to offer. Almost everything is easily accessible by car, and the roadways are among the most scenic of the islands. Great beaches, Mt. Haleakala, the old whaling village of Lahaina, Road to Hana, Molikini Crater, Maui Tropical Plantation. Maui has dozens of great beaches, numerous historical points of interest, dozens of hiking trails and a magnificent dormant volcano. It's a great place to go whale watching or sportfishing.
