Destination: Hawaii: Maui
Overview Text Size A A A
As on the other Hawaiian islands, activities on Maui center on the ocean and the inland mountains, the latter the result of many years of volcanic eruptions. At the beach on the windiest of the islands, windsurfing is king, and you can spot some of the world’s best boarders playing in the waters there. In Upcountry, the focus is on hiking. Unlike the one on Kauai, Maui’s volcano has been dormant for many hundreds of years, and more than a million people annually make the two-hour drive to Haleakala National Park to see the crater so big it could almost hold Manhattan. You’ll find several terrific spas in the coastal communities, primarily at the grand resorts, along with plenty of world-class golf courses.
