The Wonder That is Maui

The island of Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands at 727 square miles. Native Hawaiian tradition gives the origin of the island's name in the legend of Hawaiʻiloa, the navigator credited with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. According to it, Hawaiʻiloa named the island after his son, who in turn was named for the demigod Māui.

Maui's diverse landscapes are the result of a unique combination of geology, topography, and climate. Each volcanic cone in the chain of the Hawaiian Islands is built of dark, iron-rich/quartz-poor rocks, which poured out of thousands of vents as highly fluid lava over a period of millions of years. Several of the volcanoes were close enough to each other that lava flows on their flanks overlapped one another, merging into a single island. Maui is such a "volcanic doublet," formed from two shield volcanoes that overlapped one another to form an isthmus between them.

Maui is home to a number of enchanting art galleries. A few of the very best Fine Art Photography galleries call this island home. Below you will find a list of the very best fine art photography galleries that the island of Maui has to offer, as well as a summary of the rest of the Hawaiin islands…. Because you could never visit just once!

Aquamarine

A lone Hawaiian Honu I came across while snorkelling in South Maui that just seemed so friendly and welcoming. I must've spent at least 20 minutes swimming with this turtle and it's always so amazing how gracefully they seem to move through the water.
