The Valley Isle

Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands and has a smaller population the you’d expect, making Maui popular with visitors who are looking for sophisticated diversions and amenities in the small towns and airy resorts spread throughout the island. From the scenic slopes of fertile up country Maui to beaches that have repeatedly been voted among the best in the world, a visit to the Valley Isle recharges the senses. But like every good magic trick, you’ll have to see it to believe it. Some of my favorite things to do are standing above a sea of clouds high atop Haleakala. Watching a forty foot whale breach off the coast of lahaina or Maalaea. Losing count of the water falls along the hair pin turns of the Hana highway. One visit and it’s easy to see why Maui is called the “Valley Isle.”
