This week I spent in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on the adventure island of Maui getting a taste of the diversity and beauty of Maui.
The prison museum in Lahaina – where rowdy whalers were held. An interesting history!
I arrived at Kaapanali Ali’i after a long flight from NYC just in time for sunset!
Not only did I learn how to surf – but I learned the Hawaiian word for wave – Nalu. My first surf lesson was a huge success! Thanks @mauisurfergirls you rock!
Going 129 ft to the ocean bottom in my first ever submarine ride. We saw schools of fish, a reef shark, dolphins, and a shipwreck. Great for someone who doesn’t dive like me.
Clouds covering Haleakala in the morning.
Dark chocolate truffle balls rolled in salt made at O’o Farm in Upcountry Maui
Disclosure: I was a guest of Maui Visitor Board for this trip. However all of the opinions expressed here are my own.
