#1 11 Reasons You Shouldn’t Vacation in Maui

Why would you want to go to an exotic island in the Pacific when you can stay on your couch in your living room doing the same old, same old? Old reruns, Netflix binges, cleaning out the garage, cooking, and staying indoors are just a few things you could be happier with than taking a trip to tropical Hawaiian paradise. Wait, what?!

#6 Makawao Forest Reserve

Makawao Forest Reserve is a great place to hike, and even better to mountain bike.  There are loads of great jumps and berms to hit on the downhill.  We saw at least a dozen bikers cross our path as we made our journey. Here we share the hike, photos, and the types of trees/plants you’ll find along the way. Find out more about this gorgeous, protected Maui forest.

#7 Snorkeling When Pregnant

For the most part, snorkeling while pregnant can be done without danger and can be a great way to get some exercise while increasing the mother’s happiness (both very important for a healthy pregnancy.) We share some of our own experiences, photos and a video of us snorkeling on our actual due date!  If conditions are good, and safety is a priority, it should be ok.

Snorkeling Maui

Snorkeling is our favorite activity on Maui. Enjoy the spectacular clear water and see amazing underwater life, including sea turtles, manta rays and beautiful coral. Visit one of our favorite spots, including the famous Molokini Crater, Black Rock in West Maui and Ulua in South Maui.

 

Piiholo Ranch Zipline

We strongly believe that this is the best zipline tour in Maui. They take great safety measures, have the longest side-by-side zipline in Hawaii, allow you to zip at the same time as your friends, cross a suspension bridge, challenge you on the Tango Tower, and guide you on horseback ride through the locally owned Piiholo Ranch.
