Maui this summer

Hi all,

My wife, son and I are eagerly anticipating our trip the Maui this summer. We are doing a home exchange and have the use of their family car for 3 weeks. i was wondering if there are any snorkel sites to get to, and if it was by tour boat what company.

any luau recommendations?

also i have been reading up on Lanai and would love to rent a 4x4 and drive to remote beaches. anyone done this?

thanks for your advice/ input.

Kapalua is worth a visit for snorkeling. Nice sheltered bay filled with coral with a nice beach. Parking is horrendous but it's still worthwhile.

Just north of Lahaina, is Kannapali that has good shore snorkeling. In the south, Kihei onward there are also a few places for decent shore snorkeling.

But a good boat snorkel with very nice topside, is to Molokini. The trip is usually done early in the morning, as the water can get choppy from noon onward.

The Old Lahaina Luau is the best, more authentic luau in Hawaii. If interested, should book ahead for that.
