The Side of the Island Nobody Sleeps On Twenty-five minutes uphill from the beach, the whole island changes temperature and character.

People plan the middle of a Maui trip in detail and leave the first day entirely to chance.

Nobody flies to Hawaii in September. That is not a complaint. It is the entire reason to come.

South Maui Fish Company sits in the Aloha Open Marketplace on South Kihei Road. Family run, fish off Maui boats, and they will cut and clean fillets for you while you wait.

A place you can walk to the market from is a place you live. A place you have to drive to a resort restaurant from is a place you are visiting.

The Last Good Week Everybody ends summer in the middle of August. The island doesn't.

Getting to Maui takes a day. Actually arriving takes two more. Here's how to spend them.

Everybody talks about the sunset. Almost nobody talks about the two hours after it, which are the best part of the day.
