Lahaina Travel Blogs

This morning, Joyce had her lesson through the Nancy Emerson Surf School with Sharky. Private lessons cost $150 for 2 hours, but they give you a little more time, and provide all the gear. Sharky was apparently amazing, teaching Joyce not only how to get on a board, but what to watch for, corrected…

Today we drove up the west coast of Maui to the pretty tourist town of Lahaina. The main street has lots of small shops, and is bordered by picturesque trees and the ocean.  My favorite part of the city was a park with a giant Banyan tree in the center. The tree is gigantic, and provides shade…

Here are some pictures I want you to see...enjoy!

Na het wat tegenvallende Iao Valley State Monument (zie vorige log entry) was er nog redelijk wat tijd over. We besloten om naar Lahaina te rijden. Lahaina, wat in het Hawaïaans 'genadeloze zon' betekent, noemt zichzelf graag de koninklijke hoofdstad van Hawaii, dit omdat koning Kamehameha I …
