Maui is the second-most-visited island in Hawai'i with around 2.7 to 2.9 million visitors each year. It is also the second-largest landmass in the Hawaiian island chain, which consists of eight major islands and 124 islets. The archipelago is made up of numerous volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean stretching in a 1,500-mile crescent from Kure Island in the northwest to the Big Island of Hawai'i in the east.
Often called the "Playground of the Wealthy," Maui definitely caters to those looking for more expensive accommodations, yet is spared the crowds of O'ahu. But don't fret if top-notch accommodations aren't in your plans - Maui caters to everyone including the budget conscious. The island has a reputation for being a playground for all tourists, not just the super-rich. From the West Maui Mountains to the beautiful remote town of Hana, you'll enjoy the many options of things to do on the Valley Isle.
