Maui
Maui is the second largest Hawaiian Islands, 48 miles long and in the middle of the Hawaiian chain, a popular playground of the wealthy, with first class resorts, golf courses and one-name property owners.But just behind the turgidity is the natural Maui, where clean rivers from deep ancient valleys tumble into the ocean amid lush tropical vegetation. Nowhere else can you people watch a stunning beach and a bit later gaze over a lava field and think you're on the moon?!!
