Four Winds Snorkel Trip

13 06 2009

Great choice.  Friendly people, snubaing was great. Big boat and a great 1st day excursion.  Would recommend it to anyone.





Ironwood Horseback riding – Maui

13 06 2009

My wife loved it and even my 17 yr old said it was ‘not bad’.  Again nice people, helpful people, great views and just short enough that they could still walk the next day.





Tour of Hana

13 06 2009

This day was good, bad, beautiful, and even a little torture.  Burning sugarcane in Paia made that part of the drive torture, Breakfast at Colleens was great.  The scenery of water falls and black beaches and views were great. The bridge that was still not reopened that made us do the road to hana and back the same way was a patience tester for sure (supposed of opened June 1, but didn’t. (new date was June 8???) We did not get to the 7 pools because of the bridge closure. Road work on the road had us stopped for 30 minutes in a couple places… My wife’s patience was tested the most so my kids felt they had to buy here a ‘Survived the Road to Hana’ shirt when we got back to Kihei.





Maui Kayaks – Turtle Town Tours

13 06 2009

Maui Kayaks was a great choice. Both boys loved this adventure. The guide was an Hawaiian guy (says he is the only Hawaiian guide on Maui with the Kayaks) was great also.





Hyatt Regency Luau – Drums of the Pacific

13 06 2009

Fun time. good show. good food.  Cant compare to others since this was the only one we did, but we really enjoyed this also.





Strike Zone Sportfishing – Maui

13 06 2009

This was a good choice also. The guys were friendly, helpful and worked hard to give us a good experience.  We both got to catch a bigger fish off the back of the boat and each caught 10 or 11 fishing on the bottom also. I would go back with these guys again also.





Kahoma Ranch ATV Ride- Guest Review

13 06 2009

Although the only thing Maui about this was the scenery, the pineapple the served as a snack and the great views from up on the mountain. It was a great choice of things to do and people to go with.  IT WAS DIRTY AND DUSTY AND I DO NOT KNOW IF WE HAVE YET TO REMOVE ALL THE RED MAUI DIRT.   But even with that, it was a great time, with a great guide and myself and both sons had a blast. (Would not recommend to anyone who does not want to get really dirty. I am glad my wife set this one out, she would not have enjoyed the dirt!!!!!!)





Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona – Guest Review

13 06 2009

Pearl Harbor was good. We did the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri, and Aviation Museum. Then we went to Waikiki Beach area to look around. Glad we did the this before coming home, but I glad that we only committed one day to this. I know there have to be parts of that Island that is not so commercialized, but I loved Maui.





Client reviews on Maui restaurants

13 06 2009

Alexander’s fish and chips – really good

Life’s a Beach – Not great. The website looked good, but new ownership about a year ago has it more of a bar than a restaurant. I would not recommend for family.

5 palms for breakfast – also good

Colleens for breakfast – great

Da Kitchen for dinner – very good

Stella’s Blues -  very good

Tommy Bahamas lunch/dinner  – very good

Island Burgers -   very good

Fred’s Mexican for breakfast (twice) – very good

Cafe O’lai  (dessert) great, and the dinner looked good also, we were not that hungry that afternoon

BJ’s Chicago Pizza – dinner – great

Hyatt Luau – great
