Beautiful beaches, whale-watching, snorkeling, and more!
SEE Maui in the fragrant blooms and lush green foliage of the rain forest. FEEL Maui as you dig your toes into brilliant white sands and dip your body in cool azure waters. HEAR Maui in the Humpback whales' distinctive song as they cavort and play with their young. This is an island not simply to be seen, but felt, down to the tips of your toes. Here you can relax on quiet, secluded beaches; boogie the night away at lively night spots; explore quaint old towns, flower farms and upcountry ranches; scout for bargains at charming shops and boutiques; or work up a sweat with land and water sports. Whether you're looking for an active vacation or you would rather "hang loose" - The "Valley Isle" of Maui has it all.
MAUI WEATHER: Year-round temperatures on Maui average in the low 70s to the mid-80s. Temperatures at higher elevations, like Haleakala, can sometimes drop into the 40s - while at mid-day on the beaches, they may rise into the 90s.

SUNRISE FROM THE TOP OF HALEAKALA
SEE THE SUNRISE from the top of Haleakala. Drive to the top, and dress warmly; the coldest temperature ever recorded in Hawaii, 11 degrees F, happened here at 8,000 feet in 1961. See the rare ahinahina, or silversword, which takes 20 years to bloom.
WALK THROUGH THE OCEAN at the Maui Ocean Center. A clear tunnel traverses a 600,000-gallon aquarium. Go eyeball to eyeball with sharks and rays.
CATCH A SHOW at the $27 million Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahalui. Local hula groups and international companies such as the Moscow Ballet have taken bows on this great stage.
INSIDER'S HOT TIP - The trail to Red Sand Beach, Hana, is slippery with volcanic shale and edges a splashy lava shoreline, but it's only a ten-minute trek. And it's well worth the effort. Go in the early morning and you will have this magnificent cove, with its garnet-colored sands and teal water, all to yourself.
