“And on the eighth day, there was Hawaii.” Many would have you believe that the Garden of Eden was somewhere near Babylon, but a visitor to the island of Maui would argue that point. This is truly paradise, a little slice of heaven on earth.
Cliché’s like crystal blue water, or awe inspiring sunsets don’t begin to capture the magic that infuses the gentle ocean winds. There’s something really special about this place. Yes, you’ve never seen water this color before, and even pictures can’t capture the hue and tones.
All this beauty may transfix you, but there is more to do in Maui than gaze at the hypnotic landscapes. Maui is a honeymoon destination par excellence- couples who want an unforgettable wedding experience should check out Intimate Island Weddings.. Be joined in blissful matrimony with your feet in the sand and your heart glowing in your eyes as the warm sunset bathes the sky a magical golden pink and red.
After a night of wedded wonder awake to freshly ground local grown coffee from the Maui Grown Coffee Company. The dark flavorful roast will supercharge your senses for a day of beach fun in the sun or on guided tours to plantation where the coffee is grown. Whether beach or mountain is your destination, you will find a ton of ways to fill your days on the island. Join Maui Sunriders Bike Company for a downhill tour from the summit, or learn to ride the wind and waves with the Kiteboarding School of Maui. Need to relax after the breathtaking descent from on high, or skipping across the waves at the mercy of the winds on a kiteboard, then see what’s happening under the sea with an Atlantis Submarine Maui tour for a view of underwater life.
Beach activities include kayaks, snorkeling, sunset cruises, and catamaran trips to view wild dolphins or whale watching excursions. There are enough activities under the sun to fill man adventures in paradise.
All of the adventure can work up an appetite for lovers, and no visit to Maui would be complete without an authentic Luau. The Sunset Terrace Drums of the Pacific luau has fire dancers that will captivate and amaze you, a buffet that will leave you begging for mercy and an open bar that will let you explore tropical drinks galore. If you just need something light after a day in the sun, or on a guided tour of the island’s interior, try Aloha Mixed Plate for signature light lunches on the beach, or the Beachwalk Market and Pantry for fast and causal dining.
If you want to keep the spirit of romance alive try an intimate dinner at The Cascades Grill and Sushi Bar, or if you want fresh from the sea selections, visit Kimo’s Seafood or Leilani’s On The Beach. After dinner, walk hand in hand on a nighttime stroll to watch the moonlight dance across the water.
A trip to Maui is a trip to paradise, and the visions created by hundreds of Hollywood movies and picture perfect postcards will come to life during your visit.
