Angela asked us for a top ten things to do.
Oh there is SO MUCH to do where do I begin and what do I pick as the musts? First let me tell you that in the condo there are a selection of guide books. They are filled with things to do. There are also two books on hikes in Maui with maps and trail info. Also there is a CD that you can play while you drive Hana Highway that works great to tell you where you are and where to pull off. Also a book on Maui restaurants. Ok I’ll try a top 10…
1) Snorkeling
In the hall closet are swim fins and towels, you will need your own mask & snorkels. You can rent them there or bring ones if you have them already. Right off our beach Kam III is excellent with lots of tropical fish and turtles. Towards Wailea just a mile is Ulua beach, really great there too. To the left of Kam III is the Eddie Pu trail that you can walk to Keawakapu beach for really good reef snorkeling. And on and on….

2) Boogie boarding
Kam II and III are easy fun waves. You can rent boards across the street at the Surf Shack for $7 a day.
3) Sunsets. Go right across the street onto to big grassy section, or walk along Eddie Pu trail and stop at one of the benches. We go every single night that we are there. Never gets old. Always different. People come from all over the island to Kam III to see sunsets.

4) Molokini
Take a boat trip to Molokini, it is only a mile or so off from Kihei. You can go right from Kihei boat dock across the street.
5) Hana Highway, go early like before 7:30, bring camera. Take it slow, lots of twists and turns and one lane sections.
This will take ALL DAY round trip. In Hana have lunch at Hana Ranch outside on the patio. AWESOME!

6) Haleakala
Ok, so I must admit that we have never gone to see the sun rise. Some people say it is a life changing experience. We have gone up there in the afternoon to check it out, but the drive is too much for me in the dark pre-dawn. You have to get up at like 3:30 AM in order to get there in time. And it is FREEZING COLD! Bring lots of jackets!
7) Iao Valley. Really cool looking mountains.

8) Lahaina. Fun tourist shopping. Check out the Banyan tree.
9) Aquarium at Ma’alea harbor. Spend time in the under water tube.

10) Sit on the beach and do nothing.
