Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / March 2006Where to snorkel / stay in Maui???
Hi, We loved our one & only visit to Maui south of Kihei about 15 years ago and can't wait to go back. We stayed at a Makena Surf condo and loved snorkelling right out our back door on a very quiet beach! Unfortunately, it now appears to be out of our price range. Just starting our planning....We don't need crowds or activities, just peace and quiet and snorkelling. Does such a place still exist? Suggestions? Approx. Maui Arrival Date: 7/24/06 Approx. Departure Date: 8/7/06 thnx Phil H. PS: If this is the wrong newsgroup, please suggest a better one.... > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Just starting our planning....We don't need crowds or activities, just > peace and quiet and snorkelling. Does it have to be Maui? If you like peace and quiet, how about the north shore of Kauai? Lots of good beaches, lush foliage. Check www.vrbo.com. Other thoughts are Molokai and Lanai. There's another thread active named Best/worst Hawaiian Islands with a lot of information about staying on Molokai. Don't know about the snorkeling there, though. I think of Maui as pretty dense in the tourist areas, Kihei, Waimea, and Kaanapali-Lahaina. We've avoided it in later years. Marianne > ... > Does it have to be Maui?

We've avoided it in later years. We stayed in a condo at Ma'ala'ea last year and it is very quiet if you are at the south end. There is a four mile, or so, open nature preserve sand beach with nothing! fronting on it for miles. Here is one I would recommend http://tinyurl.com/efb84 (I have no $$ interest in it, and no referral fee for me either - I just liked the area.) But there are many other condos there too. I also recommend searching on vrbo.com.

I should've mentioned that my wife would shoot me if the room didn't have A/C!!! I did check vrbo.com and found some interesting possibilities. ANY ADD'L SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED!!!!! thnx >> ... >> Does it have to be Maui?

Ahihi bay which is also, I believe, a marine preserve. I think you need your own equipment. I had my own and we just parked the rental car by the side of the road in a little bay and swam out a ways to a beautiful reef.

When we were planning our first trip, I was surprised at how many places don't have it. Although Makena is definitely a spot that is on the must snorkel list, I prefer to stay north of Kaanapali. There is lots of easy and not so easy snorkeling as you drive up the road there. Our last visit was at Polynesian shores in Kahana www.cyberrentals.com but no A/C. Depends on when you visit if you'll need it - we didn't in Nov. Amazing over water deck, BBQ's, turtles, and whale sightings from this spot, as well as a slightly rough to get in, but great snorkel spot. I got to snorkel with turtles on thanksgiving am. I own a couple of vacation rentals, not in HI, and list on vrbo, but their interface stinks for guests looking for places. Try: www.vacationrentals.com www.vrconnection.com www.greatrentals.com and www.greatfamilyrentals.com and www.vacationrentals411.com for much better interfaces from a user's point of view. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > back door on a very quiet beach!
