Swimming with the Turtles
We had a wonderful time with the crew of Aloha Blue on our snorkel cruise. Breakfast was continental with a lovely spread of fruit, pastries and breads. Juice, iced tea, coffee and water were also available.
We were taken to two snorkel spots and had an hour in each location. The time went by much too quickly! Joe, crew member, was in the water with us the entire time to point out sites and ensure everyone's safety. We were also provided with swim noodles (take advantage of those!!) to help swim against the current.
The second spot is known as "Turtle Town" and there are ample opportunities to spot sea turtles. It is great fun looking at the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii and seeing the sea life. Though we only saw one turtle it was worth the experience!
Lunch was cold cut sandwiches, which was disappointing as the tour information specified a BBQ lunch. The food was very good despite the misinformation.
There is also the opportunity to deep sea fish on the cr

We Got High on Maui!!
Wow!!!!! I've wanted to go parasailing since I was a teen-ager. This experience did not disappoint. The staff at West Maui Parasailing were courteous, professional and fun!!
We appreciated the opportunity to purchase a memory card of 170 photos of our parasailing experience. This helped make the memory last a lifetime.
We compared prices to other companies and the prices for this experience were right in line, and cheaper than that on Catalina Island.
We look forward to booking another adventure with West Maui Parasailing and getting high again!

Great day on Oahu
Though the package is pricely, largely in part due the airfare between islands, the experience is well worth it. Our tour guide, Hana, was fabulous. He shared many "behind the scenes" stories and experiences to make our tour more enjoyable, entertaining and exciting.
We wish we could have had more time to explore the Pearl Harbor memorial and exhibits, but time was limited. The experience of being at the USS Arizona Memorial was moving and emotional. WWII came to life for us as we heard the stories and saw firsthand the devastation and destruction of the naval base.
Perhaps the downside of the tour was the stop at the Dole Pavilion - this is purely a tourist attraction and quite costly. We enjoyed our pineapple whip, but there was hardly time to wait in line and purchase the frozen treat before we had to board the bus again.
We loved our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center and wished we had more time there as well. The lunch buffet was phenomenal and we were treated

Nice dinner option in Maui
Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.
The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."
Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.
This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.
