Waiting for a sunset atop a volcano, hiking through craters or lying on a red beach sipping Mai Tais – this is Maui. The postcard-perfect island is the second largest in Hawaii with the most distinct layout: two large volcanoes divided by a tropical central valley. It’s also renowned for being the most diversified island with a variety of activities including diving, horseback riding and windsurfing. But don’t be fooled into thinking Maui lacks culture, on the contrary, there’s a handful of museums on the island, a vineyard and a botanical garden with a unique collection of orchids.

Because of this, many people prefer to book Maui airline tickets and vacations during the winter when the resorts are less crowded and the ocean is filled with humpback whales.
