There's more to do here than you could accomplish in a lifetime. We know, we've been at it for 24 years. We've organized the things to do by areas. The map will help you locate where to go. You'll want a detailed map which you can pick up free at the airport or activity desks at the hotels and shopping centers. You can also order one free from the Maui Visitors Bureau. |
