Maui: My memory isn't as good since we went 2 years ago....but here is what we did.
-Take Surf Lessons. We did it in Lahaina and my husband stood up on his first try since the waves aren't too high on this beach.
-The Road to Hana
- its a full day event and a must do thing. Rent a Jeep and bring
towels since it is the rain forest. Jump the cliff at the Seven
Pools. Its plenty deep and fun.
-Don't do the bike rides down the volcano. Its lame.
-Old Lahiana Luau - There are a lot of luau's geared towards family and children, so ask around for suggestions. We enjoyed this one.
-Snorkel on Malikini (wrong spelling) - its another cruise like boat ride out to another island. We had fun but its not a total must do. You can snorkel anywhere.
-We stayed on the other side of Maui in Kaanapali so I can't tell you much to do around the The Four Seasons. Tiffany's and some other high end stores are near your hotel. The Big Beach is great.
Restaurants:
Roy's - very good, but maybe a bit far for you guys since its in Kaanapali. Chain restaurant now in CA.
Pacific'o - Awesome!! Our favorite. In Lahaina.
Another good spot in Lahaina...on a side street of the main strip through downtown Lahaina. Its a man's name..."Paul K"??
General Recommendations:
- Buy and bring your own snorkel
gear. The hotel charges a lot more per day and you'll use it a lot. A
lot of the beaches are really shallow in Kauai due to the reefs which
enables you to see a ton of fish, turtles, etc.
-Stop at the grocery store to stock up on lunch food, snacks and drinks. Food prices are outrageous on the islands.
-Buy a waterproof camera with a flash.
- If you don't get my book in time for your trip, buyThe Ultimate Guide
-www.PleasantHolidays.com is another company like SunTrips that outlines the islands pretty well. You can use it for some references before going. Not a HUGE source, but it will get you all excited to go since it has island virtual tours.
