NAVIGATE MAUI/ Escape to Maui's Neighbor Islands

If you're looking to experience a Hawaii where the beaches are void of crowds, the roads lack traffic lights and the aloha spirit lives, head over to Maui's neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai for a day trip or relaxing weekend. The least populated of the Hawaiian Islands, both islands offer a nostalgic travel back in time, to an era before the state became a tourist mecca for mil¬lions. Find quaint and charming small towns, interna¬tionally acclaimed golf courses, and diverse scenery that can't be found anywhere else.
