Maui Page September 06


A short vacation in Maui - Page 4
This is a page of pictures from our September 2006 trip to to Maui. If you somehow missed the pages of pictures from our December 2005 trip, click here: Page 1. We enjoyed our December 2005 trip so much that we've decided to go back to Maui at least once a year. How to use this page: All of the pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Above are pictures of the Hyatt Regency Maui from a big raft that rents out wave runners. We stayed in the left tower, which is called the Napili Tower. The Atrium tower is in the center, and the Lahaina Tower is to the right. The Hyatt is located on one end of Kaanapali Beach. In December, 2005, we stayed in Wailea at the Four Seasons. We actually liked the Hyatt better. It's much closer to Lahaina, the grounds are much larger, and it's not packed with toddlers, which is real problem at the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons caters to kids... very rich kids.



Above, the Hyatt Atrium, and below the small beach in front of the hotel. The main part of Kaanapali Beach starts about a block and a half down from the Hyatt's portion of Beach. Kaanapali Beach is one of the best in Hawaii. Below are pictures of the beach in front of the Hyatt.




Below the Hyatt cabanas that re available for a $40 rental fee and the view of the ocean from one of the cabanas.








Above, a panorama of half of the Hyatt pool area, and below some video that I took while swimming in the pool.



Below, the cave bar between the two pools, and a picture of the grounds just outside our room balcony.

Above left, two of the most popular activities on Kaanapali Beach: Wave Running and Parasailing. Above right, a video that I took myself while on a wave runner in front of the Hyatt.

Above left, a video taken during our lunch at Mama's Fish House. Mama's is or favorite restaurant on Maui. The food is great and the Hawaiian atmosphere is spectacular. Above right, a picture taken from the deck of Kimo's, a restaurant in Lahaina that's been there for a very long time. We had dinner there one night, and it was very good.





The three pictures above, are from the Old Lahaina Luau, which was included in the tour package that we purchased. We wouldn't have gone to this luau if it wasn't included in the package. As luaus go, this one is reportedly the best on Maui. The price of the luau was $97 per person. My suggestion would be to skip it, and go to Mama's Fishouse for dinner instead. The price would roughly be about the same, and you would have a much better dinner and experience. We had a great time at the Hyatt on Maui and I hope you enjoyed the pictures from our trip.

Above, my favorite video of this trip.
Technical notes: The pictures on this page along with most of the video were taken with a very small Canon SD100 digital camera with a Canon underwater housing. I use Photoshop CS2 to process my pictures; and I use Dreamweaver 8 and Flash 8 for my web site. Over one thousand people from all over the world visit my web site every day.
