270 viewsA and some of the other women getting splashed by the boat forcing water into a hole in the cliff. Captain Dave was great -- good (but sometimes corny) sense of humor, excellent seamanship and boat handling, and excellently choreographed music pertaining to the locations we visited.

303 viewsSean Paul Kinney was one of the deckhands (and budding childrens author) on the snorkeling trip and was great company. We had some drinks at Cool Cats (spelling?) and then enjoyed dinner at the Aloha Mixed Plate restaurant. Here he is making recommendations. Another fine example of the great people we met during our visit.

Day 6296 viewsThe Road to Hana! Based upon the recommendation of my parents, we took the Valley Isle Excursions tour van and are VERY glad we did. It's a VERY narrow road - with only room for one vehicle in many locations (beep your horn!) - and too much to see. Our driver was Maui native Kekoa (Kekeoa?) and had a great sense of humor and exceptional knowledge of the region. He also had a 1957 Type I (Bug) and drag raced a 600+hp Bug at one time so we had plenty to talk about.
