Welcome to the Island of Maui
($17.95 - $2611.90)
The island of Maui is the second largest in the Hawaiian chain and is referred to as the "valley isle" because of its huge central valley created between the older West Maui Mountains and the newer Mount Haleakala which forms the eastern coasts. The West Maui mountains have been extinct for the last million years but Haleakala is considered dormant and will someday in all likelihood show signs of volcanic activity again although, the last brief eruptions were back in the 1790's. Maui County is actually made of four distinct islands which share the same enormous underwater mountain foundation. These islands are Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe in addition to a famous and prominent off-shore crater-head well-known for its snorkeling called Molokini. The West Maui Mountains raise to a height of about 5000' and Haleakala raises close to 2 miles above sea level to a height above 10,000'. The top of Haleakala is famous for its immense crater which descends 3000' and is about 21 miles in circumference. Maui is known for its variation of rainfall and as such contains many microclimates within its short 48 mile length. Maui's leeward coastlines have white sand beaches and relatively little rainfall where as Maui's windward coasts can have rainfall averages in places over 100 inches and are covered in lush dense tropical rainforests.
 Air Tours - Airplane Tours on Maui- Fixed wing air tours on Maui can simply fly over the island of Maui but the most popular of them are those that either include the erupting volcanoes of the Big Island of Hawaii or those that include a tour to Father Damiens Leper Colony on the island of Molokai. The Father Damien trips actually land on the famous Kaulapapa Peninsula and tour the leper colony on land for four hours before your airplane comes back to pick you up on your return trip to Maui.$329.90 - $502.50 |
 Attractions on Maui- Maui Ocean Center, Hawaii's Top Rated Family Attraction (Zagat Survey US Family Travel Guide), provides an up close view of Hawaiian Marine Life without getting wet! Maui Ocean Center, the Hawaiian Aquarium, is a great activity during any vacation to Maui, whether a family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, a relaxing retreat or an adventurous tour. If children are playing some part in your vacation plans to Maui then the Sugar Cane Train should be one of your first stops. This narrow-gage railroad train is similar to the ones used to haul cane in the 1800's. The Sugar Cane Train travels back and forth between Lahaina and the Kaanapali area many times daily providing ample opportunity to hitch a ride. The singing conductor provides a little extra spice to liven up the young ones.$19.90 - $53.90 |
 ATV Off-Road Tours on Maui- In the past All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) were a popular way to get around on Maui, either on or off the road.

 Parasailing on Maui- I parasail at least once a year in Maui. I can't help it. My son makes me go up with him and he loves it. The truth is, I love it too. Maybe it's the exhilaration of take-off, or the view from so high, or just the sense of soaring through the air and the age-old fantasy of flight. The experience is always exciting no matter how many times I do it. There's a certain stillness 'way up there where you can't hear the sound of the boat. All you feel is the rush of the warm Hawaiian air against your skin. It's peaceful up there. Real quiet. And the view.. All of our Maui parasailing trips leave from the Lahaina side. The view of the Lahaina Roadstead, the harbor and the boats at anchor, the West Maui Mountains and cane fields, the clouds above and the ocean below.. well, it's absolutely stunning.$50.90 - $111.90 |

 Sailing Charters on Maui- On a windy day in mid-July, my son Jake and I set out on an afternoon sail that turned out to be one of the most exciting events of our whole summer. On board the catamaran was a handful of other folks who, like us, were in the mood for adventure. We asked the captain to see how fast he could persuade our vessel to go. Within minutes we were flying along the ocean's surface. Everyone was charged up as we screamed out our excitement. I checked the gauge recording our speed; we were hitting twenty-one nautical miles per hour. If you like to sail, Maui is the right spot to be. Boats range from small cats to America's Cup vessels. One company even stages races between 65-foot yachts.$38.99 - $1225.00 |

 Visit and Snorkel Lanai from Maui- In the 1800's Lanai was purchased by the Dole family and became the major producer for the Dole Pineapple Company. This role has diminished in recent years and Lanai has now taken a front seat in the tourist industry. The smallest of the major Hawaiian Islands, and the least populated, Lanai has a mystique that continues to attract visitors. And why not? Its pristine white sand beaches, its two famous luxury resorts (Manele Bay Hotel and the Lodge at Koele), its world-class golf courses, its abundant reefs and striking coastline, its tremendous diving locations, and its sizable dolphin population have proved to be powerful draws for visitors from around the world. There is something for everyone on this lovely little island called "Lanai".$28.85 - $285.00 |
 Visit Molokai from Maui- Of the three islands that make up Maui County, Molokai stands out as having the closest link to old Hawaii. In many ways, landing on Molokai today is similar to arriving on Maui 25 or 30 years ago. The sleepy town of Kaunakakai, the uncrowded roadways, the country homes, the fishermen casting their nets, the pidgin English, the roadside churches of an era past, the community baseball games and canoe races, the small-town feeling where everyone knows everyone else - all contribute to a heartwarming, if not nostalgic, experience. For many years the "Molokai Ferry" has been our connection to the "Friendly Isle" of Molokai.$70.90 - $329.90 |

A surfing company may boast that anyone can be riding the surf in just one lesson and that, indeed, was the case when my son Jake tried it the first time. This, however, was not my experience.
