Maui no ka' oi. "Maui is the best." Many visitors have said this Hawaiian saying about the island, and many of the same people who visited Maui have told others. So it's no wonder that the readers of the magazine "Conde Nast Traveller" have voted Maui the best island in the USA for 22 years in a row.
Maui was formed by the merger of two volcanoes, Haleakala in the east and the Westmaui volcano in the west. Between the two volcanoes is a narrow isthmus on which the main population centres of Wailuku and Kahului lie. This topographic peculiarity gives Maui his nickname,"the valley island".
While Maui has a basic public transport system, many places are not accessible by bus, so most visitors rent a car. Fortunately, renting a car in Hawaii is relatively cheap. The hotel-resorts around Kihei, Wailea and Lahaina also have a bus service that connects the villages with nearby shopping facilities and attractions.

Take a great trip on Highway 36 (Hana Hwy) and see waterfalls, lush greenery and beaches along the road. Some of them are not visible from the road, but most of them are only a short walk away. A private arboretum and botanical garden (subject to a fee), also called the "Garden of Eden", has peacocks, bamboo gardens and a view of the Puohokamoa Falls. The outward and return trip will be difficult on one day, so you should stay in Hana to divide it into two days. The Wainapanapa State Park, 3 km east of Hana, offers holiday homes for rent. There are other nice places to spend the night in and around Hana.
The road to Hana is something you must have experienced at least once in your life. The road itself is one or two lanes and is practically asphalted all the way, although in some places the asphalt can be paved and therefore requires speeds of 10 miles per hour or less to prevent damage to a normal car. Off-road vehicles and jeeps are the best choice and master this road without any problems. The area is very beautiful, with steep cliffs and views over the sea and views to the nearby Big Island on the horizon.
