The Waihee Ridge Trail - Another great hike on Maui's West. The 2 hour hike takes you uphill through nice forests and beautiful scenery, with a great view of East Maui, i.e. Wailuku, Kahului and the North Shore. The trail can be extremely wet, you will have to walk to...
Big Waves on the North Shore A massive swell has hit Maui's North shore last Tuesday, the 14 foot swell created really big waves also in Kanaha. The wind was on the lighter side, so minimum 9m kites were necessary. The big sets were scary, we were mostly trying to...

To get to our place, drive on Pukalani St - turn right on Liholani St - pass Halaulani until you hit Hanalani where you take a left on Ali'Iolani - after 200 Yards turn right into Ikalani - we are in 278. Good Luck!
The anyway rather wet coast line to hana got a lot of rain the night before our trip. The waterfalls were pumping and instead of swimming in the clear freshwater pools, we had to stay out of the water and beware of the strong current. As lucky we were on the first day...
Watching the sunset on Maui's volcano Haleakala is as spectacular as it is beautiful! The weather changes within minutes from fogy and misty to amazing open sky into a unique sunset.
Launiupoko (see Google Maps) is a gret place for surfing in South Swell. Nice beach park, gentle wave and easy access. Only parking is a little difficult, but with bit of patience, you will find a spot - sooner or later... The are usually small waves, the Lahaina web...
Kiting with de-powered 5m Yes, we went out at 1 pm, with a de-powered 5m kite! Not very pleasant and alomst nobody on the water. Also, many f* ups on the beach while peple were launching their kites.
Maui's upcountry green Forests Beautiful upcountry hike in the green forest of Makawao. The 10k / 3 hour hike takes you through trees and green tropical plants. Recommendable in dry conditions....
Maui's best Beach Big Beach (Makena Beach / Oneloa Beach) on Maui's South Shore is rated as #1 beach here on Maui - the sandy beach is huge and the crystal clear water invites for endless playing in the shore break. Additional informations at mauiguidebook.com or...
Lahaina Short trip to Lahaina - in the end, you need lots of surf shorts here and Lahaina has an endless selection. The town hasn't really changed over the last years. Still charming and mellow, just a few beauty spa salons have popped up - which is a little weird. A...

Finally, we got some bigger waves on the North Shore. The wind was a little fluky, but Kuau was a great experience. Logo to mast high waves.
Another great day on Maui topped off with the sunset on Haleakala. Watching the sun going down in 3'000 meter height is always a unique experience. We enjoyed a sundowner on the top while watching the sun going down. You would not believe how cold it was up there (way...
We have had quite some days with South swell and went a few times surfing at Laniupoko near Lahaina.
The wind has been very strong an gusty for the last few days, 30 knots and more. We did not go kiting but made some rather short windsurfing sessions. The water is mainly flat and we are waiting for the next North swell....
The first few days have been really busy for us. Setting up the gear, get some additional stuff from the shops, buy food and finally get out on the water! The wind has not been strong enough for windsurfing, so we went kiting every day at Naish beach. The light...
After the usual long journey, we have arrived in Paradise (Maui) last night!
