    Hale'akala crater

    May 3, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    1.5-hour drive up the winding road to the national park.

    On the way back the car's brake died so we had to trade it out. So much driving Orz

    View from our Airbnb balcony was stunning!

  • Lanai, Kapalua

    May 4, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Went on a snorkeling tour near Lanai (island) and saw some whales on the way! Water was too cold for me so I didn't snorkel much.

    Ka'anapali beach (where we got on the boat for snorkeling) was stunning but I failed to take any pictures.

    Hung out by kapalua beach in the evening.

    Birthday dinner at a resort restaurant (Tavern).

  • North Maui adventure

    May 5, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Saw turtles at this lesser known beach north of Maui

    Drove the treacherous road from north to northwest Maui (not recommended by our gypsy guide). Many single lane roads with no mirror for turns. Scenic but definitely dangerous...

    Nakeleke blowhole -- it was ok

    Spam musubi + poke for lunch!!

    -Dragon's teeth trail--reminds me of GoT, pretty cool.
    -Makaluapuna point (with maze)
    -Ritz Carlton beach (D.T. Fleming) -- decent but smaller than I imagined

  • Lahaina + Wailea

    May 6, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Lahaina = cute touristy town with lots of stores and shops. The ocean view is pretty amazing!

    Jeff climbed down the dock to retrieve his $50

    Wailea = wealthy part of Maui with all the luxury resorts. We stayed at the wailea beach resort with my Marriott free night. $600+/night if you pay the full price... The beach is SUPER nice though. Soft white sands with no rocks/sticks in it~Read more
