Maui was created millions of years ago by two volcanoes that flowed together to form this island known as the "Valley Isle." In legend, however, the island was riamed after the demi-god Maui, who is said to have pulled the Hawaiian chain from the Pacific while he was on a fishing expedition. Whichever explanation you prefer, magical Maui is known for its indescribable sunsets, water sports, multi-colored beaches, lush rainforests alive with waterfalls, quaint fishing villages, serpintine road to charming Hana, rolling hills with sprawling ranches, world-class golf and tennis. Haleakala crater, and historic Lahaina Town, the former government and whaling capitol of Hawaii. Maui is also known for its spectacular resorts, where guests receive the finest in services, accommodations and amenities. When island residents refer to their home they say "Maui no ki oi", which means "Maui is the best."
