Many of you have heard our stories of paddling the water with Jamie and his crew and know how much we love it (and how much him and his family mean to us). Let Rachel know if you would like to paddle and she will book it with the family directly.
The same boat we will be getting married on holds such a special place in our hearts. Rachel has grown up sailing with the Pride of Maui and together her and Danny have been out snorkeling many times on this boat. Make sure you go down the slide before all you can drink mai tias!!
Also referred to as "Big Beach" it's one of our favorites on the island. Be careful though- the waves can get pretty big!!
Visit Maui's dormant volcano Haleakala! You can access it by driving yourself or joining a tour group and bike down the volcano. If choosing to drive I recommend looking into the 'Road to Hana' and this being your final stop.
Find black sand beach along the road to Hana.
Some places we recommend checking out- Paia Fish Market (2 locations- Kihei and Paia) Kihei Food Oasis (variety of 14 different food trucks) Captain Jack's Island Grill Monkey Pod Mama's Fish House (reservations fill up MONTHS in advance) If you're looking for poke most locals go to the grocery store like Times or Foodland and order from the counter. Make sure you grab some shave ice at least once on your trip!
Many restaurants, businesses, homes and families were destroyed by the tragic fire in Lahaina in 2023. Please be respectful when visiting those areas and support locals who still need help rebuilding after losing everything. Mahalo
