Maui Vacation Guide

Valley Isle Guide

Maui is both the second-largest and second-most-visited island in the Hawaiian Island chain, with annual visitor arrivals numbering approximately 2.7 to 2.9 million.

The travel industry has a significant impact on the overall character of Maui and the island boasts a remarkably wide assortment of resorts, hotels, condos, and private rentals island wide. The Valley Isle also has a reputation for being a "playground" for visitors, with an abundance of tours and activities for every type of traveler and vacation budget; whether you choose to explore the West Maui Mountains or ride the famously curvy- but visually exquisite- Road to Hana. Maui also boasts an abundance of beaches, especially along the West Coast. And if you love the sunshine you're in luck, as the volcanoes in the center of the island block the majority of precipitation from ever reaching the leeward (typically, southwestern) side of the island.
