Venture to the Valley Isle! Once the go-to for Hawaiian royals on holiday, Maui makes the most of its dreamy coastline with shores suited for sunset sights, from crescent-shaped havens to whale-watching hotspots. Beyond the beaches, it’s also a foodie’s paradise, where local produce is served up every which way. Go for street-food snacks or taste fine-dining creations, but do try the kalua pork.

What to bring back
Locally made Maui wine (including pineapple wine!), traditional Hawaiian quilts and the official Hawaiian footwear: rubbah slippahs (basically, flip-flops).
What to eat
Banana bread from roadside sellers (the world’s best?), acai bowls, fresh fish, actual Hawaiian pizza (topped with kalua pork!) and farm-to-table cuisine at restaurants across the island.
Fun fact
Maui is one of the top whale watching destinations in the world. From December to May, thousands of humpback whales migrate from Alaska, swimming to warmer waters to breed, birth and nurse their calves. Look out for whale watching tours leaving from Lahaina Harbour, or keep your eyes peeled on the beaches of Kaanapali, Kihei and Wailea.
