Together with our friends and relatives, we've gathered a few area tips that we think will make staying at Kahana Sunset even more enjoyable. If you have any to add, please e-mail us.
Whale Watching
During whale season (November to May), the humpbacks are everywhere (breeding in the warm Maui waters). Moms, dads, and little ones are splashing all around--viewable from our condo of course. But, if you really want to get out and see them up close, we recommend the Pacific Whale Foundation's whale watching tour, out of Lahaina. They give great insight during the trip, it's inexpensive, and you'll see lots of whales. Ever listen to a whale before? Here's a sample.
Barbecuing at Kahana Sunset
While it may be a mythical legend, we'd rather not tempt fate with this one...Any time you decide to use one of the four public Weber gas grills on property (great way to sear some fresh Ahi), be sure to bring a cocktail of choice with you...you'll be praised by the cooking gods and your meal will be perfect.
Sunset Viewing at Kahana Sunset
No matter what you do during the day at Maui, be SURE to get to Kahana Sunset for the spectacular sunsets. (we didn't get the name for nothing). If it's not completely cloudy expect a magical experience.
Ahi is a Must
Hopefully you like fish. If you do, you must go to Lahaina and buy some fresh Ahi from one of the returning fishing boats, or stop by The Fish Market on L. Honoapiilani Highway toward Lahaina.
Our Favorite Local Eateries
Sushi & Everything - Sansei - at Kapalua Bay. Wonderful food & fun. Just about anything you want & lots of fish.
Gourmet - Roy's - at the Kahana Gateway Center (by McDonalds). Location isn't great but excellent food.
E & O Trading Company -- Great Southeast Asian food. It's kind of an inventive fusion type of cuisine. Go for the happy hour (4 to 6 p.m. daily). Located in the Cannery Mall next to Safeway, just blocks from the heart of dowtown Lahaina.
Fish & Everything - Kimo's - on Front Street in Lahaina. Good food.
Vino - Italian Tapas and Wine Bar. That's right, they serve Italian tapas and have a huge, nicely-priced wine list. Need we say more? Located at 2000 Village Road, Kapalua.
A Few Fun Things to Do
Take a snorkel expedition on a catamaran to the island of Lanai. We went on the one run by the Pacific Whale Foundation.
Bike down the volcano.
Skyline Eco Adventures Zipline Tour -- This is an incredible adventure not to be missed. We know first-had because we did it! The tour starts with a walk through the woods in beautiful upcountry Maui. Then, your heart gets pumping (big time!) as you sail across each of the ziplines over waterfalls and vegetation.
