Hawaii State

Columbus, OH

There's no question that Maui, Hawaii, is an idyllic tropical escape. Within its five regions, visitors will find an abundance of beaches and natural wonders, including Napili Bay Beach and Haleakala Crater, amongst many others. Simply put, a Maui vacation is a bucket-list experience. Perhaps the only drawback is that Maui, the second largest island in Hawaii, is notoriously expensive. The locale is known for its astronomical cost of living; however, high prices affect not only its citizens but the tourists as well, as accommodation prices have seen a sharp increase since 2021.
