What is there to do on Maui in the rain?
Q. We just got to Kihei on Maui for our honeymoon, and it's our first time visiting Hawai'i. We'd planned on lounging at the beach, trying snorkeling/scuba, driving the road to Hana, and checking out the sunrise on Haleakla. All those activities seem to be in jeopardy since there's a 30-60% chance of rain every day for the week we're here.
Besides going to the movies and shopping are there some fun activities to do while here? Bonus points for things that can only be done while here.

A. The rain never lasts long ... so go exploring!
Western Maui - Lahaina
Central Maui - the Maui Ocean Center (indoors and out), and/or a drive up to the peak of Haleakala Volcano
North Central Maui - Have lunch at "Mama's Fish House" and watch the kamikazi wind-surfers while you eat!
Eastern Maui - take a drive to Hana, along the 35 mile "Road to Hana" - take is slow! There are over 500 hairpin turns, 64 one-lane bridges, and many parks and outlook views along the way.
Hana town area - Have a nice lunch or dinner at the Hana Maui Hotel - a top pick for the visiting rich and famous, but still reasonably priced! Take a walk afterwards around Hana Bay...
and don't forget, make lotsa love while you're on Maui - you won't find a better place on earth for it!
Best regards,
OC

How long does it take to drive from Lahaina to Wailea?
Q. I'm taking a trip to Maui and I'm staying in the Lahaina area. My friend is also staying in Maui, but their hotel is in Wailea. How long would it take to drive there?
A. I've been to Maui and it's about a 30-45 minute drive along the beach - very scenic! The time it takes depends on traffic and how fast you go - people take it easy along those scenic beaches.
Wear plenty of sun screen while you are there!

What is the best way to plan/book trip to Maui, Hawaii?
Q. I am planning to visit Maui, Hawaii for honeymoon. I look at expedia. is there any other site? Should i contect any agents?
A. You need to do your own research first, whether you will be booking through a travel agent or on your own. Read about Maui sights, hotels, condos, and activities, to get ideas about where you want to stay and how much you can afford and what you want to do with your time on Maui. A good website with much of this information is

If you decide to use a travel agent, be sure it is somebody who is very familiar with Maui and has been there several times. Don't waste your time with an agent who has no personal experience on Maui and is just reading info from a book or website, which you could read just as well on your own. The following web page discusses the advantages and disadvantages of booking on your own versus using a Maui travel agent:
