Day 6 - 7 Maui

Day 6: Mama's Fish House

Started the day off snorkeling in North Maui - the visibility was very good and the waters were calm. We saw a lot of sea life and enjoyed this cove.

After we worked up an appetite, we went to Lahaina for lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise - and boy was it. We had a great view of the water from our table and the onion rings were to die for. The burgers were huge and yummy!

We ended this day with a dinner at Mama's Fish House - very well know fish restaurant. The setting was beautiful and the atmosphere was quaint. The meals were outstanding and well presented. Highly recommended; if you go, make reservations!

Day 7: Haleakula Crater/Winery/Luau

Today was a day of cold temps and height. We drove up the Haleakula Crater which reaches 10,000 feet. It was about 40 degrees at the top and very windy. I was happy I had my sweatshirt. It's amazing what nature has done with these craters. There is a 17-mile hike into the crater which we have chosen to save for the next trip to Maui.

There is only one winery in Maui which is Tedeschi. Of course the boys had to make their guest appearance and compare their flagship to that of our own Hannah Nicole Vineyards. There was no comparison. It was a small winery on a beautiful piece of property.

We wrapped up our day attending the Old Lahania Lula. It was highly recommended and we understood why. You were greeted with a real lei greeting; all you can drink drinks (the strong stuff; not watered down); a very beautiful setting right on the water at sunset; the food was delicious and very well displayed (even the pig); the entertainment was the "traditional" luau with authentic dancers and a true Hawaiian narrator. The evening was splendid and one of our favorite events on Maui. Again, if you plan to go, make reservations in advance.
