Hawaii’s second-largest island, Maui, is one of the most popular tourist retreats for families and couples worldwide. With its combination of inclusive resorts, white sandy beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, and other scenic natural wonders, Maui is brimming with diverse serenity and a unique, welcoming spirit.
Maui charter flights bring you to Kahului, the largest city and commercial and financial hub on the island. Located nearby is the sacred Iao Valley, a designated national natural landmark where the famed Iao Needle is located. Covered in dense vegetation, the needle is a lava remnant rising 1,200 feet from the valley floor.
The valley is also the site of the Battle of Kepaniwai, where Kamehameha the Great defeated the Maui army during his campaign to unify the Hawaiian Islands.
Another landmark is the sprawling Haleakala National Park, where you can hike or drive to see the island’s highest peak, an inactive volcano. Services such as car and boat rentals are a great way to explore all of Maui and its neighboring islands of Moloka’i, Molokini, and Lanai.
Pilots were terrific, polite, and kind.
