About this ebook
Book Description:
The Maui Quick Start Travel Guide has everything you need to know for a magical trip to Maui, without all the excess information to bog you down. Maui's motto, “Maui Nō Ka 'Oi” (“Maui is the best!”) is not just a overstated boast – Maui's diverse landscape and picturesque beauty are unmatched, so you will want to plan ahead to make sure you get to take it all in. Detailed descriptions of the best beaches all over the island will help you plan the perfect beach day to remember for a lifetime. A concise guide to the Road to Hana will get you out and quickly exploring Maui, rather than researching it for hours on end.

The Maui Quick Start Travel Guide was written with one goal in mind – to make sure you have the best experience possible while visiting the Valley Isle!

Chapter 1 Introduction
Maui Nō Ka 'Oi
In Maui, we have a saying – Maui Nō Ka 'Oi
– which means Maui is the best!
The second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is the perfect blend of unspoiled tropical paradise and luxury resort destination. Nicknamed The Valley Isle
due to the luscious green valley resting between its two volcanoes, Haleakala and Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui Mountains), Maui is best known for its natural beauty and its spirit of aloha.
Stunning beaches, mystic jungle waterfalls, bamboo forests, waving fields of sugar cane, whales breaching in the crystal blue ocean, sunrise over a volcano – all these sights and more await the visitor to Maui. Honeymooners, golfers, sports enthusiasts, and families with small children can all find the perfect vacation destination here.
The Hawaiian Islands were first settled by voyagers from the Marquesas Islands, a group of volcanic islands 2,000 miles away in French Polynesia. According to Hawaiian tradition, Hawai'iloa was the navigator on that first journey, and named the island of Maui after his son (who had himself been named for the demigod Maui). Oahu and Kauai were similarly named after his other sons, while the Big Island of Hawai'i was named after Hawai'iloa himself.
The original settlers of the Hawaiian Islands populated the islands for 600-800 years before the Tahitians arrived around the year 1200. These settlers may have been the Menehune (little people) of legend. The word Menehune comes from the Tahitian word manahune
– meaning commoner – and may refer to a race of people who were considered lesser in social status, rather than being significantly small in stature. The Menehune were said to be skilled master craftsmen, who built heiau (temples), fishponds, and other structures, some of which can still be seen today on Kauai and Oahu.
The first westerner to arrive in the Hawaiian Islands was an Englishman named Captain James Cook, who made landfall in Kauai in 1778. Captain Cook didn't land on Maui because the surf was too high and he couldn't find a harbor. During his third visit to the Hawaiian Islands, an altercation broke out and Cook was killed in the melee. He died in 1779 at the age of 51, on the Big Island at Kealakakua Bay. In 1786, Jean-Francois de Galaup
