Mahalo for Everything! Our Hawaiian Weddingmoon was Perfect!

March 10, 2009

maui palmtreeAloha!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything! The whole weddingmoon trip to the islands was a blast and everyone had just a fabulous time. The Old Lahaina luau and surfing lesson were so much fun - definitely worth it!
It is hard to nail down our favorite place, as each island was so unique and had so many fun adventures. We really loved Kauai, as we drove around to Hanalei on the North Shore, and we fell in love with that area. We lucked out with the earthquake as we left the Big Island the day prior - whew! Though we did feel it over on Kauai.

I would be more than happy to be a reference for you, as you really made our whole wedding and honeymoon so much easier. It was great to have everything taken care of ahead of time, so all we had to do was show up. I’ll send you a link to our online photos and feel free to use them too. I think that is ok as far as usage rights?

Hope all is well, and thanks again for everything… Hopefully we’ll be back to the islands soon!
Best, Sara

OMG! There was a 40 ton Whale below my kayak today!!

July 30, 2008

maui kayaksOur favorite guests, the humpback whales travel from Alaska to Hawaii every winter to have their young. The Islands of Maui, Lanai, Kahoolawe and Molokai make a bowl with depths of only 300 feet creating a perfect environment for the birthing of the calves.

Our morning began by meeting Kaleo and his 5 yr old son Kahi at Olowalu Beach for a 3 hour guided tour of whale watching. There were 8 of us all together. Kaleo works for Maui Kayaks, he is extremely personable and very well versed in Maui geography, history, culture and sealife. Combined with his knowledge is a true enthusiasm for his job - he really loves coming to “the office” every day! Kaleo is a single Dad so Kahi tags along with him - this is Kahis’ daycare. He is the sweetest little boy, just sits up on the bow of the kayak looking out for the whales.

As we are waiting for Kaleo to get the kayaks ready, the sun was rising and about a dozen turtles were popping their heads up out of the water checking us out on the beach. Meanwhile we could see whales off in the distance breaching and blowing.

The water was as clear as glass, every shade of blue you can imagine and the colors of the coral spectacular.

The whales played cat and mouse with us for the first 2 hours and then they decided to come and visit us. Oh my gosh - they would swim under our kayaks, we could see the white outline of their tails but there wouldn’t be a ripple in the water. Then in a moments notice they would pop out of the water.

Next time you visit Hawaii - you must try kayaking with Maui Kayaks! The whales visit the Hawaiian islands between Thanksgiving and Easter holiday!

hotel hana maui spaHi Teresa,

I really can’t thank you enough for scheduling such a great trip to Maui. Marianne hasn’t stopped talking about it; she had such a wonderful time. I enjoyed meeting you and hope you and your family can take us up on staying here for your visit to Disney. Sorry it took so long to say thanks but I haven’t had to many private moments since we’ve been back. Hope you’re enjoying the weather. The eight hours of spa time while we stayed at the Hotel Hana Maui was one fantastic call. Take care and thanks for the lovely gifts. Peace, Ron
