Maui is a beauty magnet. So it naturally follows that artists who create and reflect beauty would be attracted to the island. Galleries and artisan shops lace the streets of most small towns.

Eating With Aloha

Much of Maui is planted in sugar cane. Immigrants brought in to work the crop including immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean creating one of the world’s most culturally diverse populations. Today this rich cultural heritage is evident in the cornucopia of aromas that emanate from backyard picnics to fine dining establishments.

An Aquatic Wonderland

Maui’s spectacular waters offer an abundance of ocean activities such as paddle boarding, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling and diving. But, don’t forget Maui’s most prominent tourists, the whales.
