The island of maui is covered with many valleys created from the underwater volcanoe when it erupted hundreds of years ago. It is called the valley island because if you were to fly over the island, the first feature you will notice are the multiple valley's covering the surface of the island. Compared to the other hawaiian islands(Kauai, Oahu, Lanai, molokai, Hawaii, etc.) Maui has the most valleys. So basically, Maui is valley island cause it is covered with valleys, though some are too small to be officially called a valley.
