Maui, the second largest of the eight major islands in Hawaii. Maui was names the best the Best Island in the World twelve out of the last thirteen years, and the Best Pacific Island for sixteen straight years by the readers of the Conde Nast Traveler.  

Get in: 

Kahului Airport, the second largest airport in Hawaii. There are several major U.S. airlines that provide non-stop service to Maui from the West Coast and beyond. To get to Lahaina and Kaanapali, where most major hotels are located, exit the airport and follow route 380 to its junction with route 30, and turn left on route 30 toward Lahaina. For Kihei and Wailea, follow the above instructions and turn left on route 31 about a mile from the route 380 junction.  

Get around: 

Although Maui has a public transportation system, most places are inaccessible. Most visitors resort to renting a car. Car rental prices here are cheaper than any other state in the US.

The Lahaina Kanaapali Railroad, also called the Sugar Cane Train is both an attraction and a means to travel between the Kannapali resort area and Lahaina Town.
