As the second most populated island in Hawaii, Maui is filled with a smorgasbord of exciting contrasts and tantalizing flavors! Legend has it that long ago the demigod Maui climbed to the top of Haleakala Crater where he lassoed the sun and held it captive until it promised to slow down its passage over the Hawaiian Islands. Today, thanks to Maui, hiking to Haleakala’s summit for soul-stirring sunrises and sunsets is just one of the enchanting activities to enjoy on this “Magic Isle.”
