Maui
Maui is not quite as big as the Big Island, Lanai is not nearly as small, Oahu is not nearly as busy, and Kauai is not nearly as quiet. For many visitors to Hawaii, Maui is the ideal destination since it gives them a taste of almost everything the Aloha State has to offer, from amazing wildlife to fascinating history and culture. You may shimmy with professional hula dancers here, play golf on coastal fairways, zip line into the air, snorkel with five distinct species of sea turtles, or just relax on some of Hawaii's most famous beaches.
Maui, one of the most visited destinations in the archipelago and among Best Places to Visit in November, is situated between the Big Island and the considerably smaller Molokai (which you can explore by signing up for one of the best Maui tours). There are five distinct regions on Maui: Many tourists set up camp along the coastlines of South Maui (where the renowned Wailea Beach is located) or West Maui, where Kaanapali Beach and the Old Lahaina Luau are located.
But it's important to visit the rest of the island as well. Explore Haleakala, the biggest dormant volcano in the world, in the Upcountry, as well as the former tribal battlegrounds of Central Maui's Iao Valley State Park as you travel along the Road to Hana. And book a seat on one of Maui's top helicopter tours for a bird's-eye view of everything.
