The traditional Hawaiian activities of surfing, snorkeling, and diving are also readily accessible and often complimented by windsurfing, parasailing, or scuba diving for the more adventurous travelers. There’s also Haleakala National Park on the island if you’ve ever wanted to hike across a dormant volcano. The island is also a premier whale-watching destination, with Humpback Whales wintering off the coast annually. Maui is Hawaii’s second-largest island and is known as “The Valley Isle.” Maui is known for its breathtaking beaches, farm-to-table cuisine, the famous Sacred Iao Valley, and its exquisite sunsets from Haleakala. In Hawaiian, locals say 'Maui no ka oi' - 'Maui is the best.'
