Maui
is comprised of two large volcanoes divided
by a
flat, wide fertile valley which gives
the island its nickname of the Valley
Isle. Forming the east side of the island
is the 10,0023-foot Mt. Haleakala, the
world’s largest dormant volcano. To the
west lie the older West Maui Mountains,
eroded to stunning green-clad towering
cliffs and valleys. |
Gentle trade winds bless the island most days
of the year, producing clean air and bringing
regular rainfall. The summer months are mostly
sunny with some clouds. The winter months bring
more rain to the windward parts of the island
(east and north), though the leeward parts remain
mostly temperate throughout the year.
For a small Pacific island of only 734 square
miles, Maui is incredibly diverse in every way.
Climate zones range from tropical forest to
desert. You can watch the sun rise atop a 10,000-foot
mountain with a moon-like landscape, then journey
through dense bamboo forests on your way to
the arid leeward coastline to watch the sun
set from a beautiful white sand beach lapped
by the warm Pacific Ocean. |
