Swimming With Seaturtles | Makena Landing | Maui Hawaii
One of the highlights of this years trip to Maui was swimming with Sea Turtles. On our first trip to Maui 20 years ago we did see a couple off of Molokini but the were a bit farther away we didn't get pictures or videos. Nearly as soon as we got in we saw the first one and in the 45 mins of our snorkel adventure we saw 5 turtles, 2 of which were swimming very close with us. We ended the day with a MaiTai at Life's a Beach and then watched the sunset from the park in Kihei.
Our Channel’s main theme is “positivity” with focus on pausing to enjoy life’s moments and when possible “paying it forward” by using our time, money and resources to support a good cause. The content is generally focused on Travel, Dogs, Motorcycles and doing good for people, pets and our environment. We spend 9+ months per year traveling primarily in our 40ft Motorhome Toy-hauler with our 2 dogs and our 2 Harley’s, capturing interesting destinations, reviewing RV parks, Boon-docking locations, restaurants, products and hotels along the way. We do put other content up from time to time however most of our content will be focused on the above. Thanks for watching and we hope you subscribe to the channel.

Best Things to do around Wailea, Maui
The most grand hotels in Maui were not built in the Wailea area for no reason. Many of the most beautiful beaches and ocean views can be found in this area. Wailea is located on the south end of Kihei or the southern most end of the stretch of south east Maui.
If you’re staying in one of the hotels in Wailea you already have some beautiful beaches right outside of your hotel room. The Grand Wailea, The Andaz, The Fairmont Kae Lani, and The Four Seasons all have great beaches for snorkeling, SUPing, boogie boarding, and canoeing. Do the water activities in the morning while the ocean is as still as a lake, after 10am the wind starts to come in and makes the water choppy.
If you aren’t staying at these hotels, theres plenty of ocean access parking and trails to these beaches. These beaches are called the Polo Beach Park, Wailea Beach, Ulua Beach Park, and Mokapu Beach Park.
Aside from hanging out at the crowded hotel beaches, here’s a list of some of the best things to do around this area.
1. Big Beach and Little Beach (Makena State Park) (Hiking, Snorkeling, Beaching)
Regarded as one of Maui’s top gems, Big beach lives up to its name as a true spectacle to be witnessed. The 3,300 feet long stretch of golden sand is a great place to lay out and enjoy the view. The water here can be dangerous as the waves break directly onshore, so its not the best place for the unexperienced to be boogie boarding or snorkeling. Over the hill on the north end of the beach you can check out a beautiful beach named little beach, be prepared to see nude patrons at this beach however, but if you can keep your head up its a beautiful beach to check out and theres some fun hiking in this area.
2. Lava Fields, La Perouse Bay, and the King’s Trail (Hiking, Snorkeling)
If you drive all the way south down the main Makena Road you’ll hit the Lava Fields, La Perouse Bay, and the King’s Trail. Here you’ll see spectacular views of the most recent Lava flow in Maui back in 1790 as you walk the King’s trail at the end of the drivable road. There’s also great snorkeling anywhere in this area since there’s not much sand and the water is usually pristine with plenty of ocean life including dolphins if you get lucky.
3. Makena Landing (Snorkeling, Scuba Diving)
If you waited too late in the day to snorkel and didn’t beat the wind there’s still hope for you. Makena landing has a small bay protected from the trade winds. Here you can snorkel or scuba dive along the north end of the bay and see many turtles, tropical fish, and coral. If its calm enough you can swim around the north corner and find some amazing coral fields and underwater lava formations, this is definitely one of the most popular snorkel and dive spots around.
4. Wailea Beach Path (Hiking)
The Wailea Beach path runs north from The Andaz all the way down south to the Fairmont Kea Lani. It is a paved path with amazing views of the beaches and coves along this coastline. This is a great morning or afternoon stroll activity. If you aren’t staying in one of these hotels you can enter from one of the beach access parking lots just as mentioned above.
5. The Shops at Wailea (Shopping, Dining)
If the outdoor activities aren’t your thing hopefully the Shops at Wailea can keep you occupied. There’s plenty of everything you’d expect to find at a mall in this Waikiki Style shopping plaza. Some of the best Restaurants in the mall are Cheeseburger Gille and Taproom and Longhis Italian Seafood.
That covers all the best things to do around Wailea aside from lounging at your hotel pool or in the spas.

Waiʻanapanapa State Park, located at the end of Waiʻanapanapa Road off Hana Highway, features some of the most unique sights you’ll ever see. As home to one Maui’s volcanic-sand beaches, you’ll have the chance to experience a black sand beach alongside the ocean.
In stark contrast, the tide pools here at Waiʻanapanapa State Park turn red several times of a year. Scientists indicate that it’s because of the arrival of small shrimp, however folklore says its the blood of Popoaleae, a princess that was supposedly murdered in a nearby cave by her husband, Chief Kaakea. The park also has seabird colonies, lava tubes, blowholes, freshwater caves, and a natural stone arch.

Diving Underwater Caves on Maui County, Hawai’i
This winter it’s been great to spend some time home with Family on Maui and recharge during my offseason from competition. Before leaving to Germany for the Boot Düsseldorf boat show this week I was grateful to celebrate my sisters birthday together with some friends and our dad. For the birthday celebration we took out my dad’s boat for an epic outer island adventure past Hawaiian sea cliffs and underwater caves to dive. Happy 23rd Shelby!
New Life Guard Tower Marks Most Dangerous Beach on Maui
Brand new tower at Makena State Park which will have guards May 1, 2009 Obviously life guard towers alone can not prevent injuries. Beginning May 1, 2009 life guards will be present on the most dangerous beach on Maui. Funding was available since July 1, 2007 to provide this service. For reasons that make no sense life guards will begin some twenty-months later. In that time there have been two deaths and over forty neck compression injuries. Beach users unfamiliar with Makena should consult with a life guard before entering the water. Be sure you understand the shore break and the correct way to enter the water to lesson your exposure to being broken. With the guards in place accidents are expected to rise significantly. Not that there will actually be more than in the past but many go unreported as broken men women and children are taken to the hospital by family members or friends.
Break Neck beach seeks the world record for most dangerous guarded public beach in the world.
Understand why the locals know Makena as Break Neck Beach.
