Maui has perfect balance between nature and urban development--volcanos, incredible wildlife, warm ocean, pristine Kaanapali Beach, tropical fish, lush forests, as well as a diverse culture. Hike up Mount Haleakala to see the largest dormant volcano in the world, or take a stroll in galleries and quaint shops in Lahaina. Let the scenic sunset kick off your evening of music, drinks, and traditional foods like kalua pig and poi. If you have time, drive up the winding road to Hana to see the breathtaking view.
