PLEASE NOTE - THE HIKE AND FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER LOCATIONS HAVE CHANGED
______________________________________________________________________________
Justin and Laura would like to spend as much time as possible with their family and friends while they are on the beautiful island of Maui! Please take a look at these optional activities they have planned.
Hike Nakalele Blowhole - Thursday, February 17th
Maui is full of natural wonder and from what Justin and I have been told, there is always something new to discover. Like the spectacular view of the Nakalele Blowhole. Just past Kapalua, there are some cliffs where the ocean has pounded away at the lava formations creating a man-sized hole in the lava! When the tide is right, the water from the ocean crashes into the cliff and splashes straight through the hole creating a "blowhole" effect.
A great hiking trail leads to this magnificent sight. There is a small parking lot near mile marker 38 on HWY 30. It is about a 30 minute hike to the blowhole on mostly flat terrain with excellent views.
HOW TO PREPARE: The hike is described as not strenuous, however, it is along the cliffs so the wind may be strong. As with any hiking, wear good shoes (flip flops might leave you with some scratched toes...). Some people like to get close to the blowhole and take pictures by it, please be careful, with the strong wind and the powerful waves crashing it can lead to a potentially dangerous situation. Other than that, be sure to bring your camera!
TIME: 12:00 PM
LOCATION: Parking lot past mile marker 38 off HWY 30
PRICE: $0.00!!! :-)
DRESS: Hiking clothes with closed shoes or sturdy hiking sandals
Maui Brewing Co. - Thursday, February 17th
Come taste the local beer and cheer at the tasting room at the Maui Brewing Co. Brewery. Dosen't a nice Coconut Porter or Big Swell IPA sound refreshing? This will be a great way to wind down after our great hike in a lava tube! And you can't beat the prices during happy hour for a sample of tastings!
TIME: 4:00 PM
