The Last Moments in Maui

After an exciting day of zip lining across the valleys of Kaanapali Beach, it was time for a dip in the pool before heading out to a traditional Hawaiian luau. After reading a variety of tourist magazines, we had settled on the Old Lahaina Luau. It is known as the most traditional luau on the island.

We were not disappointed. From the time we walked in until the evening was over, we felt welcomed. They put on a truly great show! It’s educational, colorful and exciting. Plus the food was delicious and all drinks were included. We tried a variety of foods and each one was more delicious than the other. We sat at a table with six other people who were all very friendly. Our waiter was exceptional. All in all is was a truly wonderful experience, one The Traveling Hillbilly highly recommends!

After our exciting evening at the Luau, it was almost time to say goodbye to Maui. Since our flight did not leave until very late in the evening, we decided to rent a car and explore some of the island on our own. We started the day having breakfast at The Gazebo Restaurant, which the Traveling Hillbilly also highly recommends (click here for review and restaurant info). The banana, macadamia nut pancakes are truly spectacular!

With completely full stomachs, we went off to explore Kapalua and the rest of west Maui. The drive is like a mini-drive of the Road to Hana. It’s full of twist and turns and some truly beautiful scenery. Unfortunately neither of us had a camera! We’ll just have to keep the pictures stored in our memories.
