The plane ticket across the Pacific might have been all your wallet could afford. Lucky for you, Maui has many great activities that don't cost a thing. Take in a bit of culture at a museum or cultural center. Learn about the island's whaling history at a marine sanctuary, or simply just let everything go while you wine taste at a local winery. The only cost to you is peeling yourself of the beautiful beaches.
