For some, a trip to a subtropical island is purely about two things: sun and sand. A chance to decompress, drink in hand. Nowhere to go, except maybe the swim-up bar for another round of umbrella-clad libations.
And while it’s definitely the perfect place to park yourself on the beach, Maui is a place that offers far more. Yes, spectacular scenery, culinary delights, and cultural attractions. But I have always been in awe of the natural treasures here on my many visits here, including one this past spring. There’s just so much growing, swimming, and thriving in the soil, sea, and sky, in a highly developed space that welcomes about 3 million tourists in a typical year.
