 Turtles galore |
Mala Wharf (Mailing: 658 Front Street, #7245) Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 661 8299 / +1 866 662 2628 http://www.hawaiimaui.com |
This is one of the few snorkel charters that guarantees a turtle sighting. So if you want to see a sea turtle up close and personal, do not miss the boat. Actually, the "boat" is a 20-foot raft with twin outboard motors. A total of 13 passengers and two crew members can fit, but the company never books more than 10 passengers per excursion. This is one of the most entertaining ways to tour offshore Maui waters. "Noodles" (long, rubber floating toys) and underwater cameras are available. Three daytime snorkel excursions and one sunset cruise are offered daily. Call for pricing or more information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Just for kicks |
70 E Ka'ahumanu Ave (in the Maui Mall) Maui and Molokai, HI 96732 United States +1 808 873 6229 |
Looking for a place to take the kids for some good, old-fashioned, no-brains-required fun? On a rainy day, there is no place better than here. This arcade seems to attract a bit younger of a crowd than its sister location at Ka'ahumanu. Indeed, many of the customers are under parental supervision, making for a much more pleasant atmosphere. The games reflect the age of the customers. Flintstones, Flip-n-Win, and an activity called Hightop (that takes place in a giant shoe) are a few of the featured attractions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Although the beach and jungle may never cease to entertain adults, children sometimes tire of natural wonders. If you are wondering what to do to entertain the kids, here is a solution: Take them to these go-karts and let them...well, go... for a few hours. They will enjoy puttering around the track and you will enjoy one of 16 flavors of shave ice. When go-karts begin to lose their appeal, adventurous kids may want to go for a ride on the "Gyro" machine. After one last round of shave ices, everyone can leave happy. Review © 2007, Wcities |
