Maui Travel Tips

  • Go whale watching. It may seem touristy, but the shallow shores off western Maui are one of the best places in the world to get up close and personal to humpbacks seen in groups here from December to March.
  • Rent a car. Public transport on Maui is not too great, and cars can be rented easily at the airport. You'll want one to explore the gorgeous island and not be a prisoner to your resort.
  • Steal away to Hana, the little eastern hub of Maui. A former stronghold of ancient Hawaiian chiefs, or ali'i, Hana abounds with volcanic seaside cliffs, lush tropical forests, and remote beaches.
  • Take a submarine to get a diver's-eye view of sea life without getting wet.
  • Watch your skin! Hawaii's sun is ferocious, especially for the uninitiated. Even if you don’t burn easily normally, you will on Maui. Wear heavy sunscreen and stay in the shade at peak hours. Some unsuspecting tourists have been known to walk away with second-degree burns.

Maui Travel Guide

Maui, also called the Valley Isle, is just a small dot in the vast Pacific Ocean, but it has the potential to offer visitors unforgettable experiences: floating weightless through rainbows of tropical fish, standing atop a 10,000-foot volcano watching the sunrise color the sky, and listening to the raindrops in a bamboo forest.
