Today’s Maui is alive with a vibrance and energy welcoming both those who visit and those who call this land their home.

Maui is a cultural melting pot, bringing people together from all around the world, and still maintains its identity as a sacred island.
Each year nearly two and a half million people select the Valley Isle as their travel destination, and it’s no surprise.  Combine the sandy coast lines, the spectacular views, the food, the shopping, the activities…the…well, you get the picture…

Maui is the 2nd largest Hawaiian island, about twice the size of the island of Manhatten.  Given it’s size and diverse set of environments island wide, from the daytime… into the night there will be no shortage of things to do here. 

From the air, Maui presents helicopter tours of Haleakala, Hana and the West Maui Mountains.

In the water you can see the island from above or below. Snorkeling and Surfing both are easily accessible from shore and boat trips here offer all types of adventures like sailing, fishing, or in the wintertime, whale watching.

On land, take your pick. Trails abound all throughout the island for hiking and exploring, golf courses here provide powerful views to go with challenging play, and amazing restaurants serve up culinary delights.

Of course, Maui’s also the perfect place to just kick back and put life on hold for a minute.

Beaches, mountains, rainforests, even a volcano – it’s no wonder visitors keep coming back time and time again….

So sit back, relax, and come with us as we explore the island of Maui….

The first destination takes us to upper West Maui. It’s Kapalua, which in Hawaiian means arms embracing the sea. Nestled within rolling pineapple hills, Kapalua provides a charming, intimate feel with spectacular views of Maui’s Westside as well as Molokai off in the distance.

At Kapalua Beach you can enjoy beautiful waters, majestic views, and nice cool breezes coming off the ocean while relaxing in the sand….

Sitting in the hillside, the Ritz Carlton perfects a luxury stay. A mix of restaurants, tennis, and an immaculate 10,000 square foot, three level swimming pool make it difficult to leave!

In-between the fairways and the ocean you’ll find luxurious condominium rentals -- the Kapalua Villas.  Indulge yourself in recreation with nearby golf, three swimming pools, and two private tennis courts.

Those who visit  Maui to play golf come to Kapalua where two world-class courses await your challenge – the Bay Course, and the Plantation Course.

The Honolua General Store has been a staple in these parts  since the 1930’s and is a popular pit stop for people passing through.
 

Throughout the year Kapalua plays host to several outstanding events... Each January, Kapalua hosts the Hyundai Tournament of Champions ....Golf greats like Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods compete for a share of the multi-million dollar purse.
