<p><b>LOCATION AND AREA ATTRACTIONS</b></p>
<p>Maui is one of the most remarkable places on Earth.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Valley Isle is blessed with natural
beauty, pleasant climate, varied terrain and coastline, abundant flora and
fauna, rich cultural history, and gentle society. <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Geographically speaking, the island is approximately 48 by 26
miles totaling 728 square miles, second largest among the Hawaiian
Islands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The landmass is roughly
divided between the older West Maui mountains, stately Haleakala to the south,
and connecting them, a narrow isthmus forming Central Maui.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The local population of 120,000
makes up a diverse society with many Pacific Rim, European, and Caribbean
cultures contributing to the mainstream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Hawaiian and Polynesian influences are evident in everyday life, from
language to cuisine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The tourism
industry brings big-city amenities, including fine dining, world-class resorts
and spas, numerous retailers and galleries, and an abundance of activity
providers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Harmonious combinations
of luxurious resort areas and pastoral countryside, sunny beaches and lush
rainforest, and balmy coastlines and the stark crater of Haleakala delineate
the environment of Maui.</p>
<p>Activities abound to fill leisure hours.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Beaches are rarely crowded, and conditions for water sports are
ideal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Other choices include golf,
tennis, biking, hiking, caving, horseback riding, and visiting historical and
cultural attractions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The
undisputed highlight of the winter season is the annual migration of North
Pacific humpback whales to the Hawaiian Islands to mate and give birth.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>These wonderful creatures are
frequently spotted in the channel between Maui and Lanai and Kahoolawe.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A number of websites provide
information for visitors, including <a href="http://www.visitmaui.com/">Maui
Visitors Bureau</a> and <a href="http://maui.gohawaii.com/">Maui, The Magic
Isle</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Some recommended
activities include visits to the Maui Ocean Center, Iao Valley, Haleakala
National Park (both summit and Kipahulu areas), the black sand beach at
Waianapanapa, and the spectacular red sand beach near Hana, taking a
whale-watching cruise and a helicopter tour of the island, snorkeling or diving
in Makena, at Molokini, and off Ulua Beach, driving to Hana through the
waterfall-studded rainforest, watching the surfers at Hookipa, and kayaking,
canoeing, or hiking the Keoneoio coast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>If time permits, visits to the neighbor islands of Kauai, the Big Island
of Hawaii, Molokai, and Lanai are highly suggested, as each island possesses a
distinct character.</p>
