Visiting Maui at this time
For so many of you Maui is a home away from home or a favorite vacation spot, and for all of us it is a special place that we care about deeply. The tragedy that hit has the island has shaken so many hearts and lives in ways that will take time to heal. The community on Maui is pulling together to help those who need aid in true Aloha spirit.
West Maui is closed to visitors at this time, as they continue to clean up the area. The Governor has asked that people avoid the area until mid October. Central Maui, South Maui, and Upcountry areas of the island are open to tourism. Businesses, beaches, and many tourist attractions are still available for people to enjoy while they are here on the island. We hope you will come stay on Maui and support the businesses here!
Maui Facts
Due to its position closer to the equator, Hawaii experiences shorter sunsets than the rest of the USA.
While sunsets typically last 30 minutes on the mainland, here in Hawaii where we are nearer to the equator sunsets last only 20 minutes.
