Maui at a Glance
Maui features two dormant volcanoes: Haleakala, the world's largest, in Haleakala
National Park and Puu Kukui. Between them lies a beautiful valley with pineapple
and sugar cane fields. The most popular beaches are located on the west shore.
These include Ka'anapali
Beach and Kapalua.
On the east shore, Ho'okipa
Beach Park is a world-famous spot for surfing and windsurfing. The historic
town of Lahaina is well worth a visit for its resorts, museums and cultural activities.
Of the myriad Maui adventures available, one of the most spectacular is watching
the sunrise from the top of Haleakala summit and then biking down 38 mi (61 km)
of winding road to sea level. The Molokini
Snorkel Cruise visits a half-submerged volcanic crater famous for its unique
marine life. From mid-December to mid-May, the warm waters of Maui attract humpback
whales and a number of whale-watching cruises are available.
