All of the guidebooks advocate renting a car when visiting Maui. This made good sense to me till I heard the expertise of a German couple who rented my condominium unit on a last-minute journey to Maui. There have been no rental cars available on all the island throughout their keep. But they nonetheless had a fantastic trip. Primarily based on what they informed me and extra analysis, listed here are some suggestions for having a fantastic Maui trip and seeing all of the sights and not using a rental car.
1. Select a handy location. Choose a trip rental unit on or throughout the road from the seaside and inside strolling distance of outlets and eating places. For instance, the Maui Banyan, Kihei Kai Nani and Kihei Akahi condominium complexes are throughout the road from the Kamaole Seashore Park II and inside a 10-minute stroll of a minimum of 9 eating places providing every part from high-priced steak and seafood to pizza and inexpensive Mexican fare. Remember that in Maui, “oceanfront” doesn’t essentially imply “on the seaside” as some areas of the coast are rocky somewhat than sandy 가루다.
2. Use an airport shuttle. Low-cost transportation from the airport to your condominium unit together with all of your baggage and within the reverse course on the finish of your trip is offered from airport shuttle corporations for under $12 an individual and up, one-way.
3. Go to exercise kiosks. Sprinkled all through condominium and resort areas in Maui are little cubicles promoting excursions and actions, together with luaus, kayak journeys, helicopter excursions, snorkeling or whale-watching boat journeys, dawn visits to the highest of Haleakala Mountain and even vans that take you on the well-known highway to Hana. Inform the kiosk particular person the place you’re staying and that you do not have a car, and she or he will discover choices for you that embrace pickup at your house or which have an embarkation level you possibly can stroll to. For instance, some snorkeling and whale-watching journeys go away from the Kihei boat ramp, which is a 15-minute stroll from the Kamaole Seashore Park II space and even nearer to the condos at Kamaole Seashore Park III.
4. Discover out about strolling trails. Two areas of Maui have very lengthy, largely paved strolling/working trails. One takes you from Kihei via Wailea to Makena, and the opposite runs for nearly 5 miles alongside Ka’anapali Seashore north of Lahaina. In the event you’re staying near one among these, I extremely advocate you stroll it. In winter it is a good way to see whales, and any time of the yr it offers you entry to unsurpassed ocean surroundings.
5. Lease a bicycle. Roads alongside the coast in Maui are typically fairly degree, and even when you’re not in high form, you possibly can bike farther than you possibly can stroll. Charges run round $22 a day, $99 every week. Ask on the bike rental store for advisable routes. They will let you know which roads have bike lanes and are comparatively protected.
6. Lease a scooter or moped. One week I saw 4 college-age guys whiz round on scooters a number of instances. They’d clearly chosen to get round this fashion and appeared to be having enjoyable with it. In South Maui, charges for scooters run round $39 a day, $199 every week, they usually ship the automobile to you. You have to be over the age of 18 to hire this type of transportation, present identification and have a serious credit card.
So do not assume your vacation is ruined if you cannot handle to hire a car to your journey to Maui. Likelihood is you may merely have a extra adventurous go to than you’ll in any other case!
