Gay Maui

Maui, the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands with a land area of square miles, is thought to be the  most scenic. From the top of 10,foot Mt. Haleakala the views, especially at sunrise and sunset, are stunning. There are waterfalls, lush tropical foliage, rough surf below step rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and quaint old towns to be found in this in this year-round warm and sunny climate. Lahaina was a residence for Maui's high chiefs and first capital of the Kingdom, before becoming a rowdy whaling port, and then a plantation settlement.

The gay population, second only to that on Oahu, is mainly concentrated around the Kihei area in South Maui, but gay people live all over the island. Gay vacationers, singles or couples, often return to the island every year. They come to enjoy the amazing beauty of the place, rather than for the high power parties or heavy cruising to be found in big cities and major resorts.

Maui is Hawaii's second-biggest island, also known as "The Valley Isle." It's famous for its stunning beaches, fresh local food, the well-known Sacred Iao Valley, and beautiful sunsets from Haleakala. Maui is a top spot for watching whales, especially Humpback Whales that visit every winter. For those looking for adventure, Haleakala National Park offers a chance to hike on a sleeping volcano. You can also verb classic Hawaiian activities like surfing, snorkeling, and diving, along with more thrilling options like windsurfing, parasailing, or scuba diving.

The Valley Isle is well-known for its romantic vibe, and the weather plays a big part in that. Maui's size and rugged terrain can make the weather a bit unpredictable. You'll often find warm, sunny days with temperatures around 80 degrees. Even though summer has less rain, there's still a daily chance of showers that usually move through quickly. It's paradise here, after all!

It's no secret that people here say, "Maui no ka oi" - "Maui is the best!"

Hey, Maui may not hold a specific gay area, but that d
