The last island we hit was Maui and it was FANTASTIC! As soon as we arrived on Thursday morning, we grabbed some eats at Cafe Kihei, checked into our condo, and then went to the ziplines. The zipline was pretty exhilerating, 750ft long going 40mph…it was insane. The instructors “prepared” us for the big zipline by putting us through baby ziplines but they were nothing compared to the grand finale. The following day we drove all the way around Hana Highway, which we were on for about 10 hours. That was totally awesome too. On Saturday, we chilled at the beach and then went to an authentic Hawaiian Luau that had the traditional Hawaiian foods and hula dancers. On our last full day in Maui, we went snorkeling with sea turtles and then went on an ATV safari. We tried to go see the sunrise at Haleakala Crater but because of the tropical storm, all we saw at 10,023ft were clouds. It was miserable. I guess I’ll hit it up the next time I’m on the islands.
