From idyllic sun-kissed beaches to exhilarating nightlife, it’s no wonder Maui is on every traveller’s bucket list. As the second largest island in Hawaii, it has something for everyone. Active travellers can go snorkelling in Molokini Crater, where they can spot underwater flora and fauna including turtles. You can also experience the sunrise from Haleakala which is the biggest dormant volcano in the world, perfect for sunsets.
Maui County also includes two other smaller islands, Lanai and Molokai. These are famous for their vast beaches and water sports. After a day of adventure, you can refuel at Waicoco Maui Restaurant.
However, nothing beats staying at an amazing ranch in Maui, where you can wake up to the sound of the ocean waves and enjoy the beautiful views around you. So, read on to explore the top ranches to stay in Maui, Hawaii!
