There is an incredible thing that happens when you arrive to Maui, and it is tough to explain why. Often, visitors head to the island with the intent of cashing in on some much needed R&R, soaking up the sun and spending plenty of time on the beach, and simply taking the time to enjoy the surroundings. But once the plane touches down and the vacation officially starts, the magic of the island takes over, and the desire to explore the island and see as much as possible takes over.
And that’s not to say that the idea of plenty of beach time goes away, priorities just tend to shift a little, and fitting more into a trip is now a big focus.
Maui is often voted as one of the top vacation destinations in the world, and with an abundance of natural beauty, an easy way of life, and so much to do, it is clear why the island is so highly thought of. Even locals make regular trips to the island to escape and take advantage of a quick getaway.
Getting out and exploring Maui is always an adventure, and with so many great sites to see and destinations to discover, any outing is bound to be a load of fun. Most explorations revolve around Haleakala, the dormant volcano that encompasses the southern portion of the island and features diverse landscapes and attractions. Depending on where you are, the landscapes range from lush rainforest to dry desert, and everything in between. The famed Hana Highway wraps around Haleakala, and shows off the diversity, and even includes surprises around every bend. A drive around the highway is truly the best way to explore Maui and see everything that the island has to offer.
The volcano is not limited to only a drive around the highway, and there are actually so many more great explorations and adventures that take place on Haleakala. In the early morning hours, before the sun lights up the island, head to the summit for the most incredible sunrise you will ever see, take a long hike through the crater, or enjoy one of the fun adventures on the slopes, like downhill bike rides or ziplining!
Maui is truly and incredible destination and once you’ve been here, it’ll be no wonder why this Hawaiian Island is among the most desired vacation destinations in the world. Visitors often make return trips to the island and fall in love with its charm and natural beauty, and the more that you discover; the more you will appreciate everything that it has to offer. Be sure you get out and explore Maui while here on your vacation!
