Is 10 days too much for Maui?

First of all, I do not recommend spending only 12 hours in Maui. Maui is gorgeous and clean and perfect. It has all of the best Hawaiian things to offer; beaches, mountains, rainforests, surfing, whale watching, excellent food, and luxury resorts. If you are planning a trip to Maui, give yourself at least 10 days.
