Day 7 - What a full and amazing day of activities!
We started off the day with a unique sailing experience with Maui Sailing Canoe, a double hull canoe with room for 6 - 8 passengers. The best way to get up close and personal with the sea life. Check it out! Rates are very reasonable and the experience is 10x better than that on a larger catamaran or larger vessel.
Our guides were amazing and brought us so close (15 feet away) from a hump back whale.
Check out my facebook page at www.facebook.com/kathylynnef and scroll down to March 31st posting for a video of my up close whale experience.
Next on the itinerary is a site inspection at the modern new Andaz Maui at Wailea, a property of the Hyatt hotel chain. This was my favourite property on Maui. I hope to return some day and to send my honeymoon couples here - it's a fabulous property!

Next stop on our busy day - Maui Ocean Centre. A great place to visit on your first day (before your room is ready) or your last day (before a red eye flight home)....very educational and a great place to educated the little ones of all the fishies on the island!
And as if we hadn't experienced enough of Maui's hospitality and beauty, we ended our tour with a fun afternoon and evening at Island Art Party a new studio located in Kihea, where the creative side in all of us came out in fine form. A great activity to do when you want to get out of the sun and do an indoor activity.

Sadly this was our farewell send off as well. We said our goodbye's to our hosts Chris Kaiaokamalie and Julie Biscoy from the Tourism boards and we shared some amazing experiences and memories throughout the week on Maui.
I am so grateful for this learning opportunity! Mahao!
