Anything Maui

[azhuskergirl]

I felt the need to start a new thread, because there are still threads on this first page from 2006. C'mon fellow Maui brides, we can do better than this. Let's get some more topics started.

 

I'll start it off.

 

Are you planning any outings/tours for your guests while on the island?

 

We're coordinating a trip to Hana day as well as ziplining on another day.

I don't know, but I think I should suggest something. What is Hana and zipline. I am still trying to figure out what part in south maui, I should stay?

Were going to organize a caravan to Hana. It's a scenic, twisty drive with great scenery along the way.

We're going to go ziplining in Kapalua. Here's the link: Kapalua Adventures Mountain Outpost Zip Line Tours - Kapalua Resort - Maui activities

I'm organizing a luau the following evening after our wedding/reception but probably not much more than that.. cause my budget is getting tighter and tighter!!!

 

We will be going to Hana on one day and inviting anyone who wants to come

I really would like to do a luau for my guests as a thank you... but we will have to look at the budget closer to the event. Our wedding is on the 30th, so I don't know if there will be a luau on New Year's eve (I doubt it). My wedding guests will not want to hang out with one another at all at any other point as a group (out of 14 guests, 6 are divorced from others within the group) It's going to be an interesting mix to say the least!

 

We are probably going to try to do at least one event with each couple. Ziplines and Hana are on the agenda, but we'll drive to Hana ourselves. The ziplines weren't there last time we were there so that's exciting. We're also planning to go up Haleakala and go snorkeling at least twice (we'll be there 2 weeks). I also think a helicopter ride would be amazing.. I might try to get one organized for Colin as a gift.

[Chiquita]

We are definitely going to do an open door helicopter ride.. but I think that will most likely be just Jayson and I. We will also go up Haleakala. I think each day we will just tell people what's on our agenda and if they want to join us they can feel free. Our budget is too tight to do more than the OOT bags, reception at Seawatch and the luau the following evening.

[Chiquita]

Oh, where are the ziplines?

[Pisces]

Chiquita, which company are you using for the helicopter ride? I am totally psyched about doing this as a surprise gift for Colin. I think he would absolutely love it.

[Chiquita]

Hmm I will have to check and get back to you on that. We haven't booked anything yet, but know we want the ones with the open doors so we can take pics

 

I hear Blue Hawaiian is pretty good.. not sure if they have the open doors though.. I will find out and post again.

Both companies that we looked into are on the Ka'anapali side of the island. One was advertized in Hawaii magazine. Hawaii eco adventures ( or something along those lines) and we are going to Kapalua for ours (which is located at Kapalua Resort). We love watching the AMazing Race & they always seem to have ziplines on every race....we were psyched to see it as an option in Maui!
