For the queer couple seeking a romantic haven, the island of Maui is waiting to welcome you with bright rainbow leis. From snorkeling, to whale-watching and lounging on a remote gay beach, Maui is paradise found.

With a population of less than 150,000 people, the gay scene is much smaller on Maui than in Oahu, but there’s a small, tight-knit LGBT community and a lot of great activities geared toward the gay tourist.
