Maui- Holiday Paradise in Hawaii
For many good reasons the Hawaiians say “Maui no ka oi” – Maui is the best.
Ranked annually in traveler polls as the best island in the world, Maui captivates everyone; a vacation here is an experience you will want to repeat time and time again. Maui is blessed with wonderful weather, mild tropical breezes and abundant sunshine year round. Development here is at an optimal point with enough hotels, condos and restaurants to suit every desire and budget but not yet so overdone as to interfere with the timeless beauty of the island. To say that Maui is paradise is an understatement; it gets under your skin in a good way, calling you time and again to its shores to once again repeat the adventures that thrilled you, to discover new ones, to seek out its beauty once again and to relax at one of its fine resorts returning home refreshed and renewed and glowing with the spirit of aloha.
You can choose from various locales to call home base, whether it is Kaanapali or Kapalua to the north, or Kihei, Wailea or Makena to the south, yet easily explore any other part of the island in a day or less. Must see sights include the 10,000 foot Haleakala National Park, the road to Hana and the Oheo Gulch through tropical rainforest and spectacular waterfalls, the gorgeous Iao Needle and the quirky town of Lahaina. Adventures abound on Maui including biking down from the volcano, horseback riding in the crater or on the beach, hiking along the coastline or through the rainforest, golfing the superb golf courses, swimming and snorkeling in the beautiful bays, surfing, scuba, windsurfing, parasailing and more.
During the winter and spring months, whale watching is a joy as mother whales give birth to babies and the whales in general are relaxed and often playful. Whale watching is available both on boat tours and even from the shore as the whales love to swim and play along Maui’s coast, making Maui the number one choice for whale watching in Hawaii.
Maui has some of the best snorkeling in North America. Whether you are snorkeling in one of Maui’s gorgeous bays, out at the crescent shaped crater of Molokini or at neighboring Lanai, you will be overwhelmed by the undersea beauty, the colorful tropical reef fish, the coral and, of course, the amazing green sea turtles.
There are numerous golf courses on Maui and it can rightly be called a golfer’s paradise. Most resort areas have several courses to choose from, one more beautiful and challenging than the next.
Eating on Maui is also an adventure with nationally acclaimed chefs creating mouth-watering dishes, utilizing the abundant fish found in local waters as well as fresh produce grown on the island. You can find a wide variety of restaurants here from the typical U.S. chains to very high end gourmet experiences. Shopping is also an adventure with locally made Hawaiian crafts and colorful aloha wear fun souvenirs.
The best reason to visit Maui is the spirit of aloha that you will feel while you are here and that you will bring home with you. This is a place to truly relax even while partaking in all the beauty and adventures around you. Spend some time relaxing on one of Maui’s lovely beaches or at your hotel’s swimming pool. Memories of your Maui vacation will make you smile, fill you with aloha, and eagerly plan your next visit!
Weddings venue In Hawaii
After two very slow years, the number of Maui weddings being coordinated in Hawaii for mainland couples is once again rising. When the economy is bad less couples have destination weddings. But at least in Hawaii this situation is turning around. More couples are coming to Maui to get married.
We all know that money is still very tight. Why are more couples coming to Hawaii? There are four factors that are resulting in this surge of Maui weddings:
First, if a couple wants a beach wedding, they can’t really be sure what they’ll get in the Gulf. In all of Hawaii, Maui’s beaches remain the most pristine. Maui is well known for incredible sunset beach weddings, even in the middle of winter.
The vast majority of couples who come to paradise want to have a Maui beach wedding. It just makes great sense for couples to choose Maui if they want a romantic beach locale.
Secondly, if a couple wants a destination wedding — that is also a safe choice – Hawaii starts to look pretty good. Many places in the world right now are not very safe for Americans. When a couple choose to get married in the Hawaiian islands, they eliminate the risk but still get a “foreign atmosphere” for their destination wedding.
Most couples are already budgeting for a honeymoon. If you have a Maui wedding, you’ll already be in paradise when the knot is tied. {You don’t have to go anywhere afterwards. The romance of your honeymoon can begin immediately.|And you won’t have to hop on a jet after the ceremony is over and endure the flight right after the nuptials. You’ll already be here.
We want to save Maui Me Weddings help couples save money by providing discount Maui wedding packages. By choosing a wedding package that contains a lot of different services all at a reasonable price, you can make your wedding experience just that much more cost effective.
Finally, Maui weddings just tend to be more romantic than most mainland wedding venues. It’s pretty hard to compete with a glorious orange sunset while you are standing on the sand, the water lapping at your toes. Coming to Hawaii to get married is really a dream come true.
