Sailing to Lanai with Trilogy - amazing experience, such a beautiful boat and tour and the food was excellent.
Dinner at Star Noodle - hawaiian dim sum!
Ululani's shave ice - a must try while in maui :)
Wed, Oct 30
Maui Spear Fishing Academy - a pretty lo-fi experience but if you're adventurous I HIGHLY recommend this. It was a total blast and a great learning experience if you have never free dived (I hadn't) before.
Haleakala Sunset + stargazing - If you refuse to wake up at 2am for the sunrise I highly recommend the sunset and star gazing route! There were about 50 people at the summit when we got there, 30 left right after sunset and by 11pm, we were 2 out of 8 people on the entire mountain. We could see the milky way and an enormous number of stars. Breathtaking and our favorite thing we did the entire week!
