Safety 

Hawaii is famous for its large, naturally beautiful islands. Maui is 2nd largest of these islands, as well as one of the most tourist-friendly. From sightseeing to windsurfing and kiteboarding, there’s so much to do in Maui that it’s almost overwhelming. Maui also houses numerous museums and cultural exhibits that are must-sees for first-time visitors. It’s no surprise that Maui’s population is steadily growing; back in 2010, the “Big Island” had a population of 144,444 citizens. By now, that number has no doubt drastically increased. Maui’s agriculture, information technology, and astrophysics industries are also booming. The world-famous Haleakala Observatory, for example, is located right inside of Maui’s borders. 

We could honestly go on and on about Maui until the cows come home. Case in point – Maui is a fantastic tourist destination, and you should visit it ASAP. But before you head over to the Big Island, you should learn about Maui’s crime statistics. In 2016, Maui had a crime rate of about 3,758 crimes per 100,000 citizens. However, Maui’s crime rate has since dropped in recent years. Now, the city has a total crime rate of about 35%. Roughly 9% of those crimes are violent crimes, while approximately 27% are property related crimes. This data suggests that crimes like assault and battery are much less common than theft or vandalism. Overall, you should have a great time in Maui – so long as you properly prepare for the trip. Bounce’s luggage storage services can help you protect your property.

“What’s the best way to get around Maui?”

• You’re essentially going to need consistent access to some kind of vehicle while you’re visiting Maui. It can be challenging to navigate Hawaii’s islands entirely on foot. Maui’s rail system is still under development, meaning that public transportation isn’t nearly as fast as driving or ride-sharing. 

“Is public transportation in Maui safe?”

• Public Transportation in Maui is safe, but it’s not necessarily reliable. Buses and trains can arrive much later than they’re scheduled to, sometimes even as much as 30 minutes late. 

“What’s the best neighborhood to stay in Maui?”

• Well, this answer sort of depends on what type of experience you’re looking for. Wailea is famous for its luxury hotels and resorts. Kihei and Honokowai-Kahana-Napili are renowned for their fantastic condos.
