About Maui
Maui nō ka 'oi."Maui is the best." Many visitors have heard this Hawaiian phrase said about the island, and many of those same visitors, having visited, say it to others. It's no wonder that the readers ofConde Nast Travelerhave voted Maui the best island in the U.S. for 22 years, and have given it top honors in the world in many of those polls. Maui was formed from the merger of two volcanoes, Haleakala to the east and the West Maui volcano to the west. Between the two volcanoes is a narrow isthmus of land on which the major population centers of Wailuku and Kahului lie; this feature gives Maui its nickname, "the Valley Island."
