Maui is an island teaming with diversity and nighttime offerings on the island are no different. Visitors to Maui can enjoy nature, food and dancing at locations all over the island.

The summit of Haleakala provides a beautiful location to view a Maui sunset. After dark the summit provides the perfect location for stargazing. “Tour of the Stars”, offered on the rooftop of the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, features Hawaii’s only recreational telescope.

The Director of Astronomy provides participants with astronomical instruction and then leads them step-by-step through identifying the celestial objects with binoculars and the telescope. Special couples’ only viewings add an additional touch of romance to a Maui vacation. Other Maui stargazing activities are offered at the Grand Wailea Resort and the Kaanapali Embassy Suites.

Traveling has a long tradition and our societal wanderlust gives us an opportunity to revitalize ourselves by experiencing the world. Unfortunately, the cost of traveling is up and it appears it will continue an upward trend.

It has often been said that the oil and dollar are tied together. Well, the current situation seems to prove as much. As fuel prices rise dramatically, the dollar is plunging. Fuel, in particular, is not expected to return to lower prices.

Will falling dollar values and rising fuel prices stop us from traveling? No, but we all are going to need to cut costs where we can. Yes, that means we are going to have to get creative when it comes to spending our travel dollars.

The culture of Hawaii is alive and well on Maui. The traditional Hawaiian Lei is presented to visitors as an introduction to the lavish cultural traditions of Maui. The lei, a floral garland placed around the neck, is a sign of honor and a special welcome, goodbye or gift of love. It is the physical expression of Aloha!

The melodic sound of the Hawaiian language is still heard on Maui. Familiarity with a few Hawaiian phrases is helpful for visitors of Maui. Most visitors are familiar with Aloha which means hello, goodbye and is an expression of “I love you” all rolled into one. Mahola, meaning thank you, is also often heard. Perhaps most important are the words kane (man) and wahine (woman) since those are the only words on some restroom doors on Maui.
