Overview
Overview
Perhaps no other island is as evocative of Hawaii as Maui, and for good reason. The second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is the gold-standard for stunning beaches. On the western (or leeward) side, you will find numberless (and world famous) beaches, with sand that ranges from volcanic black and green to smooth and supple white and gold. Further east and inland, the mind-boggling Road to Hana is one of the world’s most scenic drives with 620 curves and 59 bridges. In between the two is a canvas covered in waterfalls, lush forest, and national park waiting to be explored.
Marriage Requirements
Same-sex marriage became legal in Hawaii in November of 2013. For couples wishing to marry, photo IDs and marriage license applications are required. Divorce and death decrees are also required if applicable. For additional details, check with your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist.

Beaches
Maui’s world-famous shores range from black sand surfing meccas to laid back, golden-sand swimming beaches. There are endless (and colorful) stretches of beach to choose from. In West Maui, Kaanapali Beach was once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty and today hosts cliff divers at the famed Black Rock. D.T Fleming Beach has strong currents, but is a great spot for sunbathing and watching spectacular Maui sunsets.
Activities & Tourist Attractions
Activities
Whether you want to sunbathe on beautiful beaches, golf a championship course, or hike to secluded waterfalls, there’s more to do in Maui than could possibly be accomplished on a single trip. Aside from the colorful and endless supply of beaches on the western side of the island, Maui’s central and eastern regions are home to lush valleys (Iao State Park), grand national parks (Haleakala), and scenic coastlines (the Hana Highway).
Nightlife
At night, Maui is brimming with is gourmet luaus, lively Tahitian dance shows and languid seaside dinners.
