If you only have 3 days on Maui...
Description:
You'll thank me on day four!
Having grown up on Maui, I know what beaches and experiences should not be missed if only on the island for a short weekend/3-day escape.

Day 1 - Maui
For a great beach walk, head to Ulua Beach and park your car. Walk along the paved beachfront pedestrian foot path past all the top resorts in Wailea (Four Seasons, Grand Wailea, Kealani). Stop for a dip in the ocean at Wailea Beach, keeping an eye out for celebs. Finish the day at a fun beach tiki bar located on the busy, tourist-heavy street of South Kihei Rd.

Start the day off with an early morning snorkle cruise to Molokini and turtle arches from Ma'alea Harbor. Molokini is a remote crescent moon shaped island just off the Makena side of Maui that offers amazing snorkling. After the cruise, head out to Kapalua and play the Bay Course (my favorite course in all of America, and yes, I have played the Plantation Course). The 5th hole par three over the ocean is unlike any hole you will ever play. After golf, enjoy the comey/magic show of Warren & Annabelle's. As you sit in the small theater, Warren will crack jokes with audience members and include them in slight-of-hand magic tricks that will blow your mind. End the night with icecream under the world's largest Banyan tree.

Day 3 - Maui
Of course a trip to Maui is not complete without driving out to Hana to see the waterfalls and Seven Sacred Pools. As you drive Hana Highway, be sure to stop at the famous surfing/windsurfing beach, Ho'okipa. There is a scenic lookout for tourist to look down on the bay below. Bring your camera!!!
