If you are traveling to Maui in Hawaii for business purposes, you have a lot to look forward to. Business and pleasure go hand in hand on this wonderful island. After all, it is renowned for its perfect beaches, lush green valleys, historic villages, top-notch water sports, outdoor activities, and amazing marine life if you require more than the comforts of your conference hotel.
In case you have spare time before or after your conference, you will find plenty to do. The Bailey House Museum is an example of one of the many cultural sites to visit when on Maui. It dates back to 1833. Although it is one of the first western-style buildings in Wailuku, it was built out of the former royal residence of Kahekili II, the last ruling chief of Maui. As such, it now houses a collection of artifacts, paintings, and sacred objects.
Since a missionary couple later occupied the house, you can also marvel at missionary-period furniture and get a better idea of what life was like in the 19th century. The house visit would not be complete without a stroll through the lush gardens, which feature native plants and traditional canoe. If you are looking to bring authentic traditional souvenirs home for your loved ones, then step into the gift shop on site.
When it comes to nature, Baldwin Beach is where you should go after your work day. This golden, sandy beach is ideal for recharging your batteries and fill up on Vitamin D. Take tranquil walks or sit in the shade under the trees. If you like to take a quick dip, be aware that the waves can be choppy at times and the undertow strong. Alternative beaches for Maui are Wailea Beach or Kaanapali Beach.
