ONE SPRING OUR FAMILY AND MY MOM VISITED MAUI FOR A WEEK OR SO. WE STAYED IN A RENTAL HOUSE OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN AND LAHAINA. WE COULD WATCH THE HUMPBACK WHALES FLIPPING OUT OF THE OCEAN AND THEY ARE 45 FEET LONG! THEY PREFER THE SHALLOW WATERS OF MAUI THAT ARE 300 FEET DEEP AND AVERAGE 75 DEGREES. THEY HAVE FEW PREDATORS HERE.
WE RENTED A CAR AND TRAVELED TO HANA A SMALL VILLAGE, AND RENTED A BED AND BREAKFAST FROM A GUY FROM CALIFORNIA. THE ROAD IS MOSTLY DIRT AND HAS MANY TWISTS AND TURNS. WE SETTLED IN AND BOUGHT SOME GROCERIES AND EXPLORED WAI'ANAPAI STATE PARK. IT HAS A SERIES OF BLOW HOLES, AND MANY BIRDS. THE AREA DOES HAVE MANY MOSQUITOS AND I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THAT! WE WENT ON A RUGGED HIKE AND THEN WENT SWIMMING IN THE LAGOONS. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER BEACHES THAT HAD SOME STRONG WAVES. WE STOPPED AT SEVERAL STANDS WHERE MY MOM ANF I GOT BEAUTIFUL LEIS FOR ONLY 50 CENTS! WE HAD A GOOD TIME. MY MOM FREAKED OUT AT SOME GECKOS THAT CRAWL ON THE WALLS.
WE ALSO WENT TO THE LARGE AQUARIUM WHERE YOU CAN SEE MANY GIANT TURTLES AND A WIDE VARIETY OF FISH AND SEA CREATURES.
