Maui at a glance
Aloha! Welcome to Maui, the tropical paradise known as the "Valley Isle." Millions of visitors flock to the surf and sand that rises from the blue Pacific. Explore its dramatic volcanic past and island heritage--and experience its modern amenities.
Maui history
Approximately five million years ago, an undersea eruption created
two volcanic mountains, Mauna Kahalawai and Haleakala. Mauna
Kahalawai, now an extinct volcano, became the rugged West Maui
Mountains. Majestic 10,023-foot Haleakala, meaning "house of the
sun," last erupted in 1790 and is now considered a dormant volcano.
Centuries of lava flows and erosion created an isthmus between the
two mountains. This vale composed of rich volcanic soil gave Maui
the nickname "Valley Isle."
