Maui–Part 1

Maui was everything we had heard about it and more.  Such a diverse landscape, wonderful weather and gorgeous scenery.

We stayed in a condo with a beautiful view at Ka’anapali Beach in west Maui.  Following are a few photos of the area around Ka’anapali Beach.

One day we drove around the north shore of Maui.  We saw beautiful volcanic shoreline, mountains, a blowhole, rocky pools and jungle.  Such a gorgeous drive.  We thought it was nearly as good as the Road to Hana.

Another day we went snorkeling in Honolua Bay which is a Marine Life Conservation area.  It was amazing!  Beautiful fish of every color, eels, sea turtles and large coral reef. (photos below)

Excursion boats came in late morning and brought snorkelers.  Steve and I snorkeled for almost three hours and the time just flew by as we were mesmerized by the world below us.

Maui Part 2 coming soon.
