Description: Thanks to demand, we are heading back to Maui for pure adventure in the most beautiful setting. We will fly from Nashville to Maui. Once we get there we will drive to our condos to setup as our base camp for adventure. While in Maui we will be snorkeling, whale watching, taking surf lessons, backpacking, and enjoying the Hawaiian culture. We will also be participating in an authentic Hawaiian luau. One of our trip leaders adopted family resides in Maui, so we will have access to many of Maui's hidden secrets. We will be within walking distance of Lahaina, so we will have plenty of great dining experiences available.

Lodging: We will be staying in 6 person condominiums within walking distance of downtown Lahaina. All condos will have full kitchens, a washer and dryer, two bathrooms, and air conditioning.

Excursions: We will be taking in as much adventure in Hawaii as possible. We will be divided up into three groups of 8 (24 people total) and be on a rotation all week. All groups will have a day of surfing/surf lessons, a hike at Haleakala National Park, a day of whale watching aboard a Pacific Whale foundation boat, snorkeling with sea turtles, and the possibility for sea kayaking! The beauty of Maui can be found nowhere else, and you will get to see and do things that most tourism companies skip. Extra excursions (you will have to pay extra for) include Ocean Riders (a day of touring the outer banks of the other islands via boat), an authentic Luau, and zip lining.
