Kirbydale Posted May 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I am a bit behind in planning our trip. Below is where I am at. I would appreciate any advice/suggestions. Originally I had several things we wanted to do each day. My wife has suggested that we relax and build in beach time to enjoy our vacation. We will have a rental in each port except Kona, so adding things, or stopping along the way is possible. A few questions- what to do in Maui day 1? Not really interested in spending the entire day doing RTH. Thought about Molokini Crater snorkelling. Considering OLL on night 1. Should we relax on the Friday we arrive and move the PCC to the Monday after the cruise? We have time in Honolulu to fill. We could also just end the trip with time on the beach/at the pool. Thanks in advance! Thursday Arrive HNL 12:55 Explore Waikiki Check-in hotel Friday Vow renewal AM? PCC?

Maybe you're into the PCC and that's fine if you are, but I personally would choose several things over that--Iolani Palace, Shanri La and/or a drive to the North Shore with a stop at Giovanni's shrimp truck. Saturday Pearl Harbor AM Board ship Sunday- Maui Since you're considering OLL this night, I would go for OLL and get your surfing lessons this day and shop around and do the beach. What the heck.... Monday-Maui Surfing lesson in Lahaina Lahaina Then this day I would consider something else, Ioa Valley, maybe? Or maybe some beach and snorkeling from the beach as opposed to an excursion? I am going to go to the sunrise at Halekala and then to a beach, maybe some snorkeling, maybe spend some time in the quaint town on the way down from the crater.

CruisingGoddess Posted May 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I agree with smrtypants about your first day in Maui. Do all your Lahaina activities on Day 1 including OLL. Then on Day 2, you could consider going Haleakala Crater or do Molokini snorkeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
