What is the difference between Maui and the other islands?

Maui is the second largest island of the main Hawaiian islands. Known as the “Valley Isle” it has a unique hourglass shape formed by its two mountains with a large ismuth or plain between them. Kauai is the smallest of the main islands with less accessible inland roads but spectacular ocean cliffs and the massive and beautiful Waimea Canyon. Oahu has the largest population (some 1 million residents) with beautiful protected bays, expansive mountain ranges and huge surf along the north shore while Maui has the second largest population of around 100,000 residents. The Big Island is over twice the size of all the other islands combined yet is the third least populated of the four main islands. Kauai is the smallest of the main islands and thus has the least amount of residents. 1. MAUI
