Explore the magical scenery, fantastic cuisine, and refined culture of this exotic Hawaiian island.


To begin your Maui vacation you'll want to gather up all sorts of information on the island. The first place you can do this is at the airport in Kahului there are racks in the baggage claim area with various of free brochures and booklets. Pick up any that interest you, but be sure to get the booklets "Maui Gold' and "This Week Maui". They have great information on sightseeing, activities, restaurants etc. They also contain maps and coupons that you may be able to use. The activities desk at your hotel (or condo) can help you with reservations and can also recommend tours, sights that shouldn't be missed, restaurants etc.

The island is divided into 2 sections, connected by a narrow isthmus, thus the nickname "The Valley Isle". Kihei is on the eastern area of Maui, which is the larger of the two parts, and Lahaina is the old whaling port on West Maui. Lahaina offers a variety of shops and restaurants. A sampling of the many good restaurants includes Cheeseburger in Paradise (good burgers with a Jimmy Buffet ambience), Hard Rock Cafe, and Longhi's (which is excellent for dinner). For a special "treat" be sure to have some ice cream at Lapperts. It's made in Hawaii (on Kauai to be exact), and everyone who tries it becomes addicted!! A lot of fishing charters leave from Lahaina harbor if you're interested in doing some deep sea fishing. The Old Lahaina luau is very good...you'll need to make reservations if you want to go (check at the Old Lahaina Cafe).
