From secluded and deserted to lively and swanky, Maui's beaches are warm water wonders with shoreline of sands that range from white to red to black.

One does not need limit themselves to the shimmering shorelines because ocean activities are just a part of the Maui experience.

Those who want respite from the searing sun can ride the dozens of bridges to Hana and take to the trails where bamboo forests hum and resonate in the gentle trades and rushing waterfalls can be heard long before they are seen.

Also mauka is the House of the Sun or Haleakala.

This dormant volcano is Maui's loftiest peak and rises to sky touching, air thinning heights. Many ritually gather at sun rise to greet Maui's first light or to gasp at the gorgeous endless Pacific Ocean and volcanic crater views.

Whether it’s mauka or makai winter or otherwise, Maui is always a magical place where every day is one filled with beauty, discoveries and enjoyment.
