Should You Visit Other Islands on Your First Trip to Maui?

Living on Maui, we are a little prejudiced- we think this island is "No Kai Oi," the best. We’re also a little spoiled. We are a three-island county (or five if you count uninhabited Kahoolawe and Molokini islet). Just across the channel is Lanai, the Pineapple Island, and Molokai, the Friendly Island. When you look at the ocean views from the sunny south or west shores of Maui, you will see these islands, and can easily visit one or two.
Here are some thoughts and ideas about planning your first trip to Maui, and whether you should visit other islands during the same vacation, or not.

Here are a few recommendations for adding on another island adventure if you have an extra four or five days.
