Almost
everyone’s staying here. It’s about 10 - 15 minutes from the Maui Prince where
the workshop will be held. If you want condo here – Get on it!!!!
Availability seems to be getting slimmer by the minute.
All of the
condos are privately owned. Here are the websites you can rent from. The first
one listed is direct through owners. The others are through agencies, so you
may pay slightly more.

Rental Car – Aloha-Rent-A-Car
Website - http://www.aloharentacar.com/
This
is a family owned rental agency that we’re rental from several times before. I
think they have the best prices on the island. And they’re fair!
We are happy to offer you the following:
2005 Dodge Neon (Compact)- equipped with 4
doors, automatic transmission, P/L, P/W, and A/C. These vehicles can
accommodate 4 people.
Your
Rental Rate: $149.00 per week or $21.28 per day, plus taxes (State Tax @
4.167% - Road Tax @ $3.00 per day)
2003+
Ford Taurus (Mid/Full-Size)
-
If you want a jeep it’s $229/week.
That’s what we get. We like the open air! And they only charge you by the week
or day, not the hour. So if you pick it up at 3:00 on a Sat. and drop it off at
5:00 the following Sat. they don’t charge you an extra 2 hours.
Please keep in mind
that there are NO HIDDEN OR EXTRA CHARGES, which
are charged by most of the other rental companies. Such as:
-
Additional Drivers Fees of $7.00+ per day per driver
-
Airport Concession Fee of 8%
-
Vehicle Registration Fee
-
Charging by the Hour (overtime fee)
Also, we will have you
picked up and on your way within 15- 20 minutes of your notification of arrival
to the Airport. (Actually they’ve always come within 5 minutes)
If you wish to make a
reservation, or have any questions, please give us a call Toll Free at
1-877-452-5642.
Call them and tell them
you have the Bacon Discount with the above pricing.
Snorkel Gear & Boogie Board Rental –
The Maui Dive Shop
Website - Maui Dive Shop
One of the best things about Maui is you can
snorkel right off the beach. And when conditions aren’t good for snorkeling,
even the small waves make boogie boarding a heck of a lot of fun. There’s lots
of reef & great snorkel sites surrounding Maui, so you don’t need a boat to
there. However taking boat rides in Maui is a lot of fun too.
Their corporate location is the largest & I
think the best location. They have a large supply of gear. They’re about 10 –
15 min. north of the Kihei Surfside Condos and about 20 – 30 min north of the
Maui Prince. The one at Kamaole is about 5 min north of the Kihei Surfside and
the Wailea location is about 5 – 7 min south of the Kihei Surfside and about 5
– 7 min north of the Maui Prince. We know the corporate location is the
furthest away, but we only have to go there once to pick the stuff up and once
to drop it off. Besides we kinda like just driving through town and seeing the
sights.

Boat Tours –
Maui Charters on “The Four Winds II”.
Website - Four Winds II - by Maui Charters
One of the best boat tours to one of the best
snorkel/dive sites in Maui is with Maui Charters on “The Four Winds II”. Take
the morning (best time to snorkel/dive) trip to Molokini Crater. If you’ve
never dived before but you want to get your feet wet, so to speak, try Snuba.
It’s fun & lasts about 30 min. & you can go down to about 20ft. The
crew on the Four Winds are top notch and make it a fun experience. They service
breakfast & grill chicken & burgers for lunch. And it’s an open bar!
And Molokini Crater is truly a magical place.
Best Place
for Inexpensive Gifts – Kihei Kalama Village
It’s about 3 -5 min. north of Surfside on the mauka (mountain)side of the road. It’s across from Kalama Park
and the Big Whale Statue.
Best Place
for Breakfast - Kihei Café
Just up to the end of block south of Kalama Village. Breakfast Burritos
are around $5 - $6 and are so big 2 people can split. They have omelets and other
stuff too. Lattes & Cappuccinos also.
Best Place to
Get Groceries – Costco & Safeway & Longs Drugs
Costco is right outside the airport. And amazingly the prices are the
same as the mainland. They have great steaks, lobster tails and all the rest. I
try to make my list out ahead of time so I don’t over-buy. For stuff like bread, milk, juice, that kind
of stuff, go to Safeway in Kihei. It costs more than the mainland, so just try
to figure out how much you’ll need and not over-buy. Longs has food also but
it’s not a full blown grocery store. They have bread, milk, juice, good local
produce and really good prices on liquor. If you don’t have water shoes (reef
shoes) 
you
can get them cheap there. Although we once had a friend with us and she waited
‘til she got to the island to get them, then we couldn’t find any place that
had her size. You can get them in Target or Walmart also. BTW, there is a
Walmart right outside the airport also.
Best Dinner
Cruise – Maui Princess
Website - Maui Princess Dinner Cruise
And Our Maui Bible, The Best Guide Book Ever –
“Maui Revealed”
Websites
– You can get it either through Amazon.com or go to
the publisher’s website for
a list of sites to order it from. Or call your local book store to see if they
have it stock.
We’ve
been to Maui 4 or 5 times (I’m losing track) and this is the book we’ve lived
by. It’s never done us wrong. It’s the best guide book I’ve ever read. That’s
where we got most of our information from and having been to Maui so many times
and gone to the places we’ve just recommended we can attest to this book being
a must have!
I
will supply you with the list of stuff I pack for the trip. You can take what
you off it. I thought it might be helpful. It’s a good thing I have it on my
computer so I can refer to each year. I’d forget have of what we need to bring.
Aloha
Guys,
I’ll
send you some links soon to some videos of Maui we put together.
