About Maui
About Maui
Maui is nicknamed the Valley Isle, and has been voted the best island in the world several years in a row
by the readers of Travel and Leisure Magazine. Maui has many excellent, long, and palm-fringed beaches; a large, volcanic national park, more than it's share of visiting humpback whales, and plenty of stores and shops to rival it's waterfalls and valleys.
Maui-at-a-glance is so perfect that millions of people visit - and visit, and visit. You may have to sit in traffic to get to that placid pool or you may find your preferred whale-watching tour is booked full already. The good part about that is Maui still escapes the "wall to wall people" feeling of Waikiki (on Oahu) while providing clubs, bars, and an excellent array of performing arts choices for people who like to be entertained after the sun goes down.
Maui Weather
The weather changes dramatically depending on the area of the island, but it is generally between 75 and 80 degrees F all year long. The South Side and West Side are usually hot and dry, while the East and North sides get more rain and cooling tradewinds. In the winter months, you may see snow on the top of Haleakala (the volcanic mountain).
