What is the average temperature on Maui?
71F - 78F depending on the season.
There is a surfing cove right across the street from your condo. Where
is the closest place to rent surfboards?
There is a place called Surf Shack on Auhana Rd at S. Kihei Rd
(see
Maps) which is only about a
3 minute walk away. Ren
tals are $35 or less
depending on the length of time you want the board for. Visit
their website
here.
A little bit further down the road is Big Kahuna Adventures and their
rental costs are essentially the same, but it is an 8-10 minute walk to
get there. You can visit their website
here
What sort of things are there to do on Maui?
There are literally hundreds of things to do on this
island. There is snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, luaus, horseback
riding, hiking, driving, shopping, museums, aerial tours, sightseeing...
the list goes on. There are many websites dedicated to activities on
Maui. A few of them are
Go Hawaii,
Visit Maui,
Budget Travel, and
Trip Advisor.
Where is a good place to go snorkeling?
Molokini, a volcanic crater just south of Maui, is an
absolutely fantastic place to go snorkeling, and there are lots of
companies offering snorkel packages. One of our favourite places to go
snorkeling on island is Ulua beach in Wailea, but beware because there
is limited parking!
This handy website lists many of the snorkel sites on Maui.
Which Molokini package should we choose?
My advice is to get a whole bunch of pamphlets from a
place like Whalers General Store or a Boss Frog's kiosk and compare the
prices. The packages I recommend are ones that leave from places like
the Maui Prince or Makena Landing to minimize travel time since Molokini
is only about 3 miles away. Also, make sure to go on a morning trip to
avoid the waves and to get the clearest waters possible. For one such
package, visit
this website
but I am not sure if this is the best deal, so it is best to browse the
pamphlets.
How far away is Wailea? I'd like to be
fairly close to the golf courses.
Wailea is only about 3 miles from our location, so
depending on which golf course you are going to, it will probably be a 4
to 6 minute drive.
How long does it take to drive to the top
of the volcano?
This is quite dependant on traffic so it can be anywhere
from 1 to 2 hours from Kihei.
This
is a good website to visit if you are interested in Haleakala.
