Maui Trip Report #7 - Kapalua and Maui Tropical Plantation

Our last full Maui day started with a hike on the Kapalua Coastal Trail. We took in amazing vistas, walked on volcanic rock, and observed a beach wedding.





We also discovered Oneloa Beach where, after our hike, we returned with a picnic lunch. We had finally found a bay calm enough for me to get in the water. And hubby was able to do a final snorkel.

Later in the afternoon, we toured the Maui Tropical Plantation. We were the only two on the tour, so it was easy for me to get this video of the coconut presentation. I was also able to get shots of Maui mountains and pineapples.






A benefit of traveling off season.

From the Maui Tropical Plantation, it's just a 20-minute drive to Paia. Because hubby loved Paia Fish Market's mahi mahi, I suggested we return for our last Maui restaurant meal. Plus I wanted to visit nearby Ho'okipa Beach one last time to get another look at the sea turtles.

That was fascinating information about the coconuts and watching her open it and take it apart! Such a beautiful land. It must have been hot because she was wiping her face a lot. Looked like hubby liked the coconut. :)
