‘The Valley Isle,’ as Maui is also known, is the second-largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, renowned for its world-famous beaches and incredible scenery. Explore Lahaina, the erstwhile capital of Hawaii and a surfers’ paradise. Its oceanfront main street is lined with timber-frame buildings, and a mighty banyan tree dominates the courthouse square. Molokini, just a few nautical miles away, is one of only three volcanic calderas in the world, and Hawaii’s only island marine sanctuary. It is an excellent spot to go snorkeling and observe deep-water species. Take a whale-watching cruise with marine naturalists to learn about humpback whales. A drive to Hana offers a delightful view, with the road hugging the coastline and lush valleys bursting with waterfalls along the way. In Upcountry Maui, meander through Makawao, famous for its Hawaiian cowboys and a thriving arts community with galleries, glassblowers and wood sculptors’ workshops. Find fascinating exhibits at the Hui Noeau Visual Arts Center. Visit the 100-year old Komoda Bakery for tasty cream puffs.
