The Ka’anapali Beach area has been voted #1 beach in the world. It is easy to see why with miles of pristine sand, blue waters, incredible vistas and room for everybody. You are on an island with vistas of two other islands, Lanai and Molokai. It is usually 79F with the trade winds blowing at 15mph. The focal point for many…
Having visited Maui four times before, there was one experience that we keep putting off: an early morning ride to Haleakala to witness the rising sun. The weather was predicted to be pretty good for April 1st. Kathie awoke at 1:30 AM. She is just an early riser. We did go to bed around 8:00 P.M. and there was…

This area was literally the “Whaling Capital of the Pacific.” Today, it is a mecca for “Whale Watching.” In the distance you can see the islands of…
Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands with the Big Island of Hawaii the largest. This is my favorite island. There is so much to see and do. It is a destination for many honeymooners, rightfully so. It is also a place to get married. It is called “The Valley Isle,” as there is a large valley…
It is to the “right” side facing towards the sea I have seen the best coral and sea life. However, the left side is not bad, particularly for seeing turtles. Most of the tour boats moor on the right side. By car, Honolua Bay Located between Mile marker 32 and 33. We like parking by the small bridge as you…
