Maui, Hawaii

ALOHA! We have been bursting with excitement to share our trip to Maui! Picture this: Watch the sunrise while standing above a sea of clouds atop Haleakala, scuba dive Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, loose count of the beautiful waterfalls as you manuever the hairpin turns of Road to Hana highway, hang glide over the seven sacred pools, and experience adventures that will give you memories of a lifetime!

Maui All Access Guide:

Where to Stay:

Sands of Kahana: Tucked away between the famous Kaanapali and Kapalua, The Sands of Kahana is a beautiful beachfront condominium property located on Kahana Beach. They offer beautiful one, two, and three bedroom condos all with private lanais. This is the perfect resort for families, honeymooners, or just a beautiful tropical holiday. All units feature TV, fully sized equiped kitchens, washer/dryer, ceiling fans, free parking, and more! This was our second time staying at this resort and it is beyond beautiful, the staff goes beyond expectations, and the grounds are very clean. The beach here is amazing! Warm, Clear Blue Water, with lots of activities such as paddle boarding, snorkeling, and much more to offer!

Looking for a Luau? We got you covered! Adventur Pro HIGHLY recommends the following two Luau’s.

Sheraton Maui Nui Luau: This luau s a MUST! It is definitely a night you will remember! The luau takes place at the edge of Kaanapali’s famous Black Rock point. Stare into the beautiful sunset as they light the torches to prepare the way for an amazing cliff dive off of Pu’u Keka ‘a that ignites the celebration of the Maui Nui. This luau is known for there delicious buffet. Having been to both the Hyatt Luau and Sheraton Luau, the buffet at the Sheraton is better. The fire dance show is awesome as well. The drinks flow all night and there is not one bad seat in the luau. This luau is more price friendly then the Hyatt. It is smaller, more intimate, but beyond worth it!

Drums of the Pacific Luau (Hyatt Regency): From the opening sound of the conch, and the beating of the drums, this luau is spectacular. This luau is complete with an imu ceremony, an exotic Hawaiian buffet, and an unforgettable fire knife dance finale. For this luau, we would recommend that you upgrade to VIP as there are a lot more people so wait time for the buffet and the bar can get pretty long as well as all of the front tables have a better view. The show at the Drums of the Pacific is the BEST on the island. It is a lot longer than the Sheraton’s show. The Drums of the Pacific may be more costly, but it truly is an unforgettable experience as well.

Adventur Pro’s Recommendations: 

Buffet: Sheraton’s Maui Nui

Show/ Fire Dance: Drums of the Pacific Hyatt

Table Set-up: Sheraton’s Maui Nui (It is more intimate)

Drinks: Drums of the Pacific (They offer more of a selection)

Views: Both

Cost (Value for your money): Sheraton Maui Nui

They are both wonderful experiences, but if you are looking for something smaller and more intimate as wella s price friendly, the Sheraton Maui Nui is a must! If you are looking for something more crowded, but with an unforgettable show, go to Drums of the Pacific. You really can’t go wrong with either. We recommend doing both!

Tours and Activities: We HIGHLY recommend the following tours and activities for an EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!

Maui Hang Glide: BEST excursion on the island! WOW! This is an absolute MUST when visiting Maui. It can be a bit of a drive to get to the Hana airport with some unexpected weather, but trust us, keep going! Do not turn around because even if it is raining on the way up Hana, it is completely sunny on the other side. Armin Engert started Hang Gliding Maui in 1990 and is a FAA Certified Flight Instructor as well as a certified Tandem Hang Gliding pilot. Having flown hang gliders and Ultra-lights since 1982, Armin has accumulated over 13,000 flying hours to date. Hang Gliding Maui has been featured on several television shows both domestic and International. The most well known of these was in 1996 when MTV’s Jenny McCarthy flew with Armin for the show Extreme Comedy.

Armin is truly an AMAZING instructor and pilot. He is so kind and really wants to make sure you have a wonderful experience. This tour exceeds expectations and the views are just breathtaking! You will not regret booking this tour! It is beyond worth every penny! Upon flight, he will go over all instructions, set you up in your gear and then you are off for an AMAZING experience. He flys you over the seven sacred pools, up to the waterfalls of Hana and over beautiful black sand and red sand beaches! While in flight, Armin will shut off the engine and let you take over and teach you how to fly and hang glide down. This tour was something we will always remember and is highly recommended when visiting the beautiful Maui island!

Maui Princess Dinner Cruise: Looking for a VIP experience? Book the Maui Princess Dinner Cruise! It was filled with romance, fun, live music, a delicious plated dinner, great drinks, and great customer service! The boat was beautiful and the food was fantastic!

After dinner, it opens up for dancing and star gazing! It was a remarkable experience and definitely a must to when visiting Maui!

Haleakala Sunrise: This is an unforgettable experience! We recommend driving to Haleakala yourself, it is only about an hour and a half away. You need to leave EARLY! (No later than 3:45am!) It is beyond breathtaking and you are literally ABOVE THE CLOUDS! It was truly the most beautiful sunrise we have ever seen! It is only $20 to enter and the pass is good for three days.
