Maui Vacations
By David Chandler
Maui has an incredible vacation
landscape. People love coming to Maui because of the resort areas of
Kapalua and Wailea for golf and beaches. They also like to take a
drive down the Hana Highway for a romantic stay at Hotel Hana Maui.
There are three airports on Maui, Kahului Airport, Kapalua Airport,
and Hana Airport, so getting there is not a problem.
Hotel Hana-Maui does everything right to make you feel welcome,
relaxed and in touch with nature. Room service was quick and
efficient.
Grand Wailea Resort The hotel has one of the top beaches in the
world, fabulous pools, and a great golf course with spectacular
views of the ocean and Mt. Haleakala.
The Fairmont Kea Lani is a great place for honeymooners and family
vacationers. Situated on 22 landscaped acres facing Polo Beach, The
Fairmont Kea Lani is a luxury all-suite and villa resort.
There are also several places that you can stay in Maui, such as
vacation homes, condos and more. Accommodations are never heard to
find. Most reasonably prices as well.
Taking a scenic drive is one of the more popular Maui activities.
The island has an abundance of scenic views, ranging from tropical
plants and waterfalls on the eastern end of Maui to desert-like
landscape inside the Haleakala Crater.
Maui is famous for its golf courses, which offer scenic ocean views
and well-maintained fairways. Kapalua on West Maui offers three
championship golf courses, including the Plantation Course where
Mercedes Championships are held every year.
Numerous companies based in Lahaina on West Maui offer boat tours,
such as glass-bottom boat tours, whale watching, fishing and
snorkeling and scuba diving. You can usually find information about
these activities through your hotel once you get to Maui. On the
other hand, visit the historic town of Lahaina and sign up in person
in the Lahaina Harbor.
Maui offers beautiful scenery, coastal trails, and mountain hikes.
You can sign up for a guided hike through your hotel, or explore the
island on your own.

For an island in
the middle of the ocean, Maui manages to cram in a lot of
sightseeing potential. Visit old plantation towns, tour the
historic preservation district of Lahaina, see the biggest Buddha
outside Asia, stop at old Hawaiian churches (don't miss the Holy
Ghost Catholic Church in Kula with its magnificent altar shipped
around the Horn by the king and queen of Portugal), walk into a huge
dormant volcanic crater, see whaling museums, and marvel at natural
wonders such as `Iao Needle, the pools of 'Oheo Gulch, a forest of
giant redwood trees, the geysers of Hobbitland, the rainbow-haunted
West Maui mountains, and just miles and miles of some of the most
beautiful scenery on the planet. |
