MAUI

Discover MAUI

My name is Jeremy Alama. I am a lifelong resident of the beautiful island of Maui. As part of the This Week Hawaii team, I'm thrilled to share with you the wonders, secrets, and adventures that my home island has to offer.


Maui is a place of extraordinary beauty, diverse landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. From the majestic peaks of Haleakalā to the lush valleys of Iao, the island invites you to explore its natural wonders and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of its people.


So, dive in and let us help you uncover the magic of Maui. Whether it's your first visit or you're returning to our shores, we're here to welcome you with open arms and the warm aloha spirit.

Maui's Top Recommended Activities

Makena Beach (Big Beach)

Start your Maui adventure at Makena Beach, also known as Big Beach, one of the island's largest and most breathtaking stretches of sand. With its golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and backdrop of lush greenery, it's the perfect place for sunbathing, swimming, and simply soaking in the majestic beauty of Maui. The beach's expansive shoreline ensures you can find a spot all to yourself, making it an ideal location for a serene day by the sea.

MAUI'S LOVE FOR POKE RUNS DEEP


No visit to Maui is complete without trying this traditional Hawaiian dish that has gained international fame. This delicious treat is made from raw, diced fish (usually tuna) marinated in a variety of seasonings and sauces. For a truly local experience, visit Tamura's Fine Wine & Liquors or Foodland, where you can find a wide selection of poke flavors ranging from spicy ahi to shoyu octopus. It's a taste of the islands you won't forget!


Located in Wailuku, Takamiya Market is a family-owned business that has been serving the community for decades. Their poke counter is a hidden gem, offering a selection of poke alongside other local delicacies. The friendly service and home-style poke make it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the local food culture.

Maui's Favorite Grindz

LAVENDER FARM TOURS

Visiting the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm offers a chance to experience Maui's Upcountry culture and the island's agricultural diversity. It's a peaceful retreat from the more tourist-heavy attractions, providing a unique perspective on the island's natural beauty and the innovative use of its land.


Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the serene setting. With the cool Upcountry climate, it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views.


This experience is a testament to Maui's ability to offer unique, memorable experiences beyond the beach and hiking trails, catering to those looking for tranquility and a connection with nature.


Maui's Coolest Places to Visit

RAIN NEVER GETS US DOWN ON MAUI

Rainy days are no excuse to stay in! I invite you to experience the island's indoor attractions and cozy nooks, offering a different perspective on island life.
