"The Valley Isle" is a wonderfully diverse blend of beautiful resort areas, bustling industrial activity, pristine beauty, small town charm, lush tropical rainforests, and even a dormant volcano. Maui has something for everyone, without the crowds of Waikiki. Maui has more of an aura of playfulness than Oahu, with ocean, beach, and air (helicopter) activities in plenitude. You won't be a bystander here for long - you'll find an irresistible diversion in no time (even if it's just a lounge chair with your name on it) !
