Maui was created millions of year ago by two volcanoes that flowed together to form this island known as the "Valley Isle." In legend, however, the island was named after the demi-god Maui, who said to have pulled the Hawaiian chain from the Pacific while he was on a fishing expedition. Whichever explanation you prefer, magical Maui is known for its indescribable sunsets, water sports, multicolored beaches, lush rainforest alive with waterfalls, quaint fishing villages, serpentine road to charming Hana, rolling hills with sprawling ranches, world-class golf and tennis, Haleakaka crater, and historic Lahaina Town, the former goverment and whaling capital of Hawaii. Maui is also known for its spectacular resorts, where guests receive the finest in services, accommodations, and amenities. When island residents refer to their home, they say: "Maui no ka oi" which means "Maui is the best" |
