Tourist information - Maui
Maui is an island, Maui County, central Hawaii, between Molokai and Hawaii islands, known as the Valley Island. The second largest island of the state, it is divided into two oval peninsulas, East Maui and West Maui. East Maui rises in the mountain of Haleakala, a dormant volcano, to a height of 3055 m (10,023 ft). The mountain terminates in a crater nearly 32 km (nearly 20 mi) in circumference and more than 924 m (more than 3028 ft) deep. West Maui rises to an elevation of 1764 m (5788 ft) and has many sharp peaks and ridges and extensive sloping plains on the northern and southern sides. Pineapple and large sugar plantations and cattle ranches are here. Tourism, construction, and scientific research are also important to the economy. Wailuku is the chief community.
