About Maui
Maui seamlessly weaves together dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush rainforest valleys, and some of the most pristine beaches in the Pacific. From the misty summit of Haleakalā at sunrise to the winding Road to Hana, every mile of the Valley Isle reveals a new reason to linger. World-class snorkeling, farm-to-table dining, and a welcoming local culture make it a destination that nourishes both adventure-seekers and those simply chasing rest.
Things to Do
Haleakalā Sunrise
Drive to the 10,023-foot summit before dawn and watch the sun break through a sea of clouds above the vast volcanic crater.
Road to Hana Drive
Navigate 620 curves and 59 bridges through bamboo forests, roadside waterfalls, and hidden swimming holes along Maui's legendary coastal highway.
Snorkeling at Molokini Crater
Glide over vibrant coral gardens inside a partially submerged volcanic crescent where visibility often exceeds 150 feet.
Whale Watching (Winter)
Join a boat tour from Ma'alaea Harbor between December and April when thousands of humpback whales migrate to Maui's warm, shallow waters.
ʻIao Valley Hike
Walk through emerald rainforest to the base of the ʻIao Needle, a 1,200-foot moss-covered pinnacle at the heart of the West Maui Mountains.
Local Tips
Reserve a Haleakalā sunrise parking permit online well in advance as they sell out weeks ahead.
Rent a car early in your trip since ride-shares are limited outside resort areas and public transit is sparse.
Start the Road to Hana by 7 a.m. to stay ahead of tour vans and leave time for spontaneous waterfall stops.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen, which is required by state law to protect Maui's coral ecosystems.
Visit the Upcountry farm region for locally grown coffee, lavender, and goat-cheese tastings away from the beach crowds.
