One of the major islands that make up the state of Hawaii, Maui is a top holiday destination. With miles of beautiful beaches such as D.T Fleming, Napili, Kaanapali, Wailea Beach , Little Beach and Big Beach, Maui is ideal for water-sports. You can go windsurfing, whaling, snorkeling, diving and sailing to your heart's content.

Other attractions at Maui include Baldwin Home, the abode of a missionary doctor in the mid-nineteenth century, the Wo Hing Temple, a Chinese shrine, the replica of Carthaginian II, a whaling ship docked at Lahaina Harbor and the Alexander and Baldwin Sugar Museum in central Maui.

Maui’s airport is the Kahului Airpot, and is served by several American airlines. Shuttle buses connect the airport with resorts and other parts of the island.

Accommodation in Maui is primarily restricted to expensive beachfront resorts which are the ultimate in luxury. For cheaper options, consider staying in the town of Wailuku. There are a few B&B accommodations available across the island.
