One of the things that was on our list to do while in Maui was Ocean Kayak.
We thought this would be something easy to do after reading two travel guides.
Boy were we wrong.
We tried to have the concierge at the hotel set Kayak rental up for us but most places only do tours.
The prices for a 2-3 hour tour was $60-80 per person.
I hate tours, in fact I detest them because most of the time you overpay for what you get and I HATE being on someone else s schedule during vacation! Most importantly, if we did a tour it limited what else we could do on our budget.
So we headed out to a place we were told that rented Kayak by the hour, after driving 15 minutes- Failure!
Nope they only do tours, and by the way all their tours start at 7 am- NO THANK YOU!!!
So after a frustrating morning, we headed to Kapala Bay for some Snorkeling. Kapala is where Oprah and Tiger Woods have their Maui Houses- it is gorgeous.
The beach was also nice, quite and pretty good snorkeling. There were more kinds of fish and coral to see.
After a frustrating morning, we decided to head down to the restaurant in the hotel, Duke's, and have appetizers and drinks as our dinner. It was a great atmosphere on the water, watching the sunset and the food was excellent.
Appetizers- Coconut Shrimp and Crab Wontons
Total Cost $45 including tip!
We then walked along the beach and just relaxed watching the sunset.
Total cost of the day : $45
