Do Cruise Ships really have your best Interests? |
The island of Maui has two harbors for the cruise ships to dock. The biggest one, and the one that is addressed here, is Kahului Harbor. The harbor is large enough that the cruise boat can simply pull into port and offload passengers without having to tender the clients back and forth between the boat and shore. There is so much that Maui has to offer to cruise ship passengers but you must be careful to arrange the specific tours for the days they are available when the boats are at port. Some tours need to be taken on the first day of your arrival and others need to be taken on the second day. Although we have many tours that are available to you, please keep in mind that not all tours are available to cruise ship clients because of time considerations. Also remember that these tours are oftentimes sold out well in advance on the days that the cruise ships are in port so you would be well advised to make your reservations early!
Cruise Ship Friendly in Hawaii - Options Below:Bike the Volcano Bike It Maui The mountain of Haleakala stands over 10,000' high and is the anchor upon which most of Maui is supported. The journey to its top at sunrise has long been one of the spectacular adventures that Maui has to offer. Many people like to combine the spectacle of this Maui sunrise with the excitement of a gravity propelled bicycle ride from the crater summit down to the ocean below. One of the very best companies we have that provides this adventure is Bike It Maui. They have been operating this journey for years and have collected an ever-growing list of appreciative customers over the course of time since their inception. This tour must be done on the second day of your visit on the cruise ship. Bike It Maui will pick you up right at the boat very early in the morning.…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $125.00 - To: $134.90) |
Fishing Aloha Blue Charters If you've got "fishing" in your blood, you'll want to try some bottom or sport fishing while you're here on the island. Sport fishing is where you go out in search of the big fish like marlin or mahi-mahi and involves continuous trolling while dragging a line behind. Bottom fishing on the other hand is where you stop the boat and drop lines down to the bottom while the boat is motionless. Over all you will catch more fish while bottom fishing but the most exciting catches will be while you sport fish. The Aloha Blue Charters can accommodate either type of fishing for you but the trolling will have to be on the second day of your arrival and the bottom fishing will have to be on your first day. The trip to the harbor will be about a 15-20 minute ride and will necessitate renting a rent-a-car or taking a taxi.…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $79.90 - To: $79.90) |
Helicopters Air Maui Certainly the most exciting way to see the island of Maui is by helicopter. It is estimated that a full 75% of the island can only be seen from the air and one of the best helicopter companies to see the island with is Air Maui. They offer tours that see the whole island, just the West Maui's or their most popular flights which visit the Crater of Haleakala and Hana. Their A-Star Helicopters are considered the "gold standard" of helicopter aircraft in Hawaii and their pilots are among the friendliest you will find. The heliport is no more than a 10 minute taxi or rent-a-car ride from the cruise ship dock. This is a fantastic way to see the island.…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $125.00 - To: $230.00) |
Horseback Mendes Ranch Since the mid-eighteen hundreds, horses have played an important role in the evolution of Hawaii. Some of the earliest European immigrants to Hawaii were Portuguese and they brought their equestrian traditions with them. These horse loving people later became known as Hawaii's "paniolo's", or Hawaiian cowboys. One Paniolo ranch is still in existence today on the foothills of the West Maui Mountains not far from where the cruises ships are docked in Kahului. This well known Maui ranch is called the Mendes Ranch and the descendents of the original Mendes family are still here to share their horse loving traditions. You'll need to make arrangements to get to the ranch via a taxi or a rent-a-car.…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $99.00 - To: $99.00) |
