#2 - Island of Maui
   
 
  
An enchanting island  

Maui is my favorite because of all the scenic spots and the variety. We never did wake up before dawn to drive to the top of the big volcano for a sunrise or mountain bike ride. I didn't surf this island, but there were spots on the north shore that had huge waves.

A very good hotel:

Royal Lahaina Resort
2780 Kekaa Dr
(808) 543-8311
Lowest price per night : $85 + parking permit
Good hotel for the price. Parking is a pain because the small parking lot fills up quickly.

Required parking permit per day: $9 (Permit is per car so get a big vehicle and split the cost)
 
 
Hotel views, cliff diving, and snorkeling over a reef by the cliff
