Maui is one of the most beautiful islands in all of Hawaii; however, many people only visit the Big Island. Those that miss out on what Maui has to offer have missed out on some of the most exquisite scenery in the world.
You might be able to find a cruise that does include Maui; however, your stay is usually only overnight or two days tops. This does not give you the time you need to enjoy all that Maui has to offer. Maui is not just a vacation for fun on the beach; it has many wonderful tours and exciting adventures that are sure to keep you busy from sun up to sun down.
If you have chosen Maui for your family vacation, then the best way to get there is by air. You can locate some really awesome packages online that offer not only airfare but accommodations as well. The main thing here to remember is to know where you wish to stay and what amenities you desire before you begin your search. There are varieties of accommodations that offer all kinds of attractions and entertainment from indoor swimming pools to golf courses.
A travel agent should be able to guide you in the right direction if you have an idea of what you might want to do while traveling to Maui.
When you begin your search, do not take the first one you find. You may be passing up a better deal. Just because you see an ad stating they have the cheapest packages around does not necessarily mean they do. It is wise to shop around.
You also should look for direct flights to Kahului or you will have to change planes, which can be a pain. However, you can find several smaller airlines that travel from island to island many times per day.
Inter-island flights are provided by:
Aloha 800-367-5250
Hawaiian 800-367-5320
Most people prefer to fly into Kahului; however, if you do not wish to drive around the coastline toward West Maui, where you have booked accommodations you can find flights that land at Kapalua West Maui Airport. If you plan to stay in Hana, you can contact Pacific Wings at 888-575-4546 for flights to Hana Airport from Kahului and Honolulu.
Now, that you know you can fly to Maui you are ready to decide where you wish to stay. Think about the activities you wish to explore, scuba diving, golf, biking, fishing, hiking, sightseeing, and shopping. Talk with your travel agent to learn which areas of Maui have the most to offer you and your family for the adventures you wish to enjoy. Once you know what you wish to do the most, then you can find accommodations that fit your lifestyle. Accommodations from hotels, cottages, and condos are available throughout Maui. Finding the best package to include all the amenities you family deserves will be a breeze once you realize what Maui has to offer.
