<\/a> \nThis place was our ultimate treat week and booked ourselves a luxury apartment direct on the beach in Lahaina. This was our view which welcomed us, with a most stunning sunset to boot. All you hear in you room is the lapping of the waves…absolute bliss.<\/p>\n
The next morning was an early start as we’re heading out on a snorkling tour on a catamaran. The destination had to be changed as there had been some rain overnight which meant that the wart had been cloudy. This was ok and we headed off to a place called “baby beach”. <\/p>\n
The snorkling was amazing, crystal clean and only a few meter deep but full of fish of every colour and shape you could imagine. The trumpet fish were particularity strange to see as well as some of the huge sea urchins. Erich and I were both diving down to get a closer look. I was so fascinated with the fish I did not notice that a beautiful green turtle (known as Honu to the Hawaiians) swam right in front of me. As I looked it it took me be complete surprise and startled me. I shot to the surface to find Erich and trying to shout “turtle” still with snorkle in mouth. I was the only one to see one apart from the captain on the boat who also saw my encounter. Absolutely made my day. The catamaran cruise continued and we found another great snorkling spot with a reef again full of all varieties of fish. It was a wonderful first day and the first taste of the Maui Mai Tai’s server by the crew on a return to harbour. <\/p>\n
Upon the catamaran we had got a flimsy of some humpback whale spouts. Whale season had started on the 15the December and we were both keen to see more. We booked a trip for the. Ext morning on the whale response boat with only 4 other people. <\/p>\n
Setting of early and very excited I was soon jumping up and shouting “there she blows”, the call we were given if we spotted a whale. We sped off to try and get closer but also respecting the distance which have to be kept from these amazing creatures. We were spoilt from the start with tail slapping, and swimming alongside the boat before the big tail came out indicating the whale had done a deep dive. Next minute I the distance I saw a whale doing a full breach out the water. We set off again the the direction I was pointing and again we rewarded with more whales. I seemed to have a lot of look with the spotting and picked up on the Wales well. We even saw spinner dolphins too <\/p>\n
Maui, the place is one giant picture postcard full of beauty and adventure. This place came highly recommended by so many different people and different reasons. It’s fair to say it’s our favourite so far. This place was our ultimate treat week and booked ourselves a luxury apartment direct on the beach in Lahaina.… Continue reading Marvellous Maui<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-worldwind-trip-around-the-world-in-72-days","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtravels.britswissmix.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
\n[wpvideo DLR5JJwz] My better picture and videos are not on my phone but just a glimpse of some of what we saw. The great finale was we saw a female being chased by two males who both wanted to mate. We went all side the in our boat whilst the chase continued with twists in the water, tail slaps, the head coming right out the water and lots more. An amazing amazing day we will never forget!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
