    Driven by here numerous times over the years. Never stopped. Some local friends suggested this beach today due to it being a busy holiday weekend and trying to avoid the touristy spots. It was mostly locals which is a huge plus. Mellow, calm water spot. Not a lot of beach front but lots of shade. We did snorkel. Be careful, lots of coral to navigate in shallow water. Pack out your garbage. I didn't even see a garbage can.

    Perfect day for a snorkel

    Sandy easily accessible beach for snorkeling . The further out from the beach you swim the better. Lots of turtles! Seems to be a lot calmer than other areas on the island during the winter

    Best snorkeling place! Perfect for the kids. Water not too deep, calm waves, fish by shore due to beautiful coral.

    On a recent cruise vacation in Hawaii, our pre-booked "Road to Hana" tour in Maui was canceled at…read morethe last minute. All other tours we looked into were booked, and we were facing the possibility of not being able to fully experience one of the most beautiful of all the islands - Maui. We couldn't have known at the time that our tour being canceled was actually very good luck! Because after searching online, we found Maui Boy Tours, and Greg! We were actually referred to Greg by another guide, who said that Greg was one of the best - and the only other guide he recommends. And we soon found out why. Greg picked us up at our ship and took us on our own, private, CUSTOMIZED FOR US Hana tour. And it was nothing short of amazing! Greg is a wonderful guy, a fantastic guide, and you can tell that Maui is in his soul. Maui, of course, is breathtakingly beautiful. But Greg showed us more than just the beauty of the island. He told us that if you listen, Maui speaks to you. And he was right. We visited all of the most famous sights, of course. But also some lesser known attractions like a stunning botanical garden and the best fresh-baked banana bread on the island. We had a truly once in a lifetime day. We are forever grateful. And the best part is, we made a lifelong friend. Thank you, Greg, for sharing your beautiful aloha with us. We will never forget it!

    my family and I had a great time with Greg. this guy was very funny and loves to take awesome…read morephotos of us. Greg took us to see the turtles and a waterfall. would definitely look Jeff up again! AAA+++

    My group of friends were extremely excited to be Spearfishing for the first time while on vacation…read more So it really saddens me to give a whopping one star. A few minutes after we pulled up, the instructor, Kua greeted us. After he asked who was Spearfishing, he then immediately said, "do you EVEN know what you guys are getting yourself into?". My friends were two ladies who he kept sizing up. He made us all feel uncomfortable about being first timers (even though this lesson was for beginners) and that he was going to have to babysit the ladies. During the first hour of instructions and training, he continuously made comments about other past people who have come along the trip. Stating things such as how he has never had two ladies on the trip together before, how he isn't judgmental or stereotyping, but then would say he was surprised by how a couple 300 lb fat men did a good job fishing, or how most couples go but it's mainly the women who tag along with their husbands, or how women aren't as good so they aren't as ambitious as the men. How incredibly sexist. He was trying to state he wasn't stereotyping but made stereotyping remarks. There is absolutely no excuse this place can come up to justify the comments they made to a couple of beginners that were simply excited to try spear fishing. Ladies, stay away.

    I went spearfishing with my wife for our honeymoon and this was just one of the many excursions we…read moredid while in Maui and I have to say it was the best. John and Chris were absolutely amazing in teaching us everything from loading the spear gun to hunting techniques. My wife was terrified of the whole idea and John really took her under his wing (or fin) and she ended up catching more fish than anyone else that day! We were in Maui for 7 days and I wanted to do this a second time while we were there but had too many other things to do :( I would recommend this to anyone visiting that island PERIOD

    Home at the Mouth…read more Private community located along the coast and not too far from downtown Lahaina. We stayed at an AirBnB here for eight days during spring break, and the place was fine for the most part, but the community it's in definitely run by people who most likely relocated from Argentina via Germany. The Good: *The community is well-kept and clean. *No matter where you stay here, you're only a few minutes walk away from ocean views. *And speaking of the ocean, there's also several beach access points. We never accessed them, but my parents did, and they said it was nice. *Pickleball/Tennis courts and three pools--including one by the ocean. *About a one-mile walk to Downtown Lahaina *Easy access to and from the Honoapi'ilani Hwy The Meh: *Staff at the Clubhouse weren't the friendliest people I've dealt with. *$10/day parking fee for a 2nd vehicle. Also, be sure to register your vehicles ASAP because I have a feeling they're on top of that. No evidence but call it a hunch. The Ugly: *$30/day to use the gym. No, that's not a misprint. *Lots of rules that only a grouchy old fuck would think of, like no using your car fob to lock your doors because of the chirps. *The pools are basically "No Fun" zones for kids. No laughing, no screaming, no running, and--for God's sake--"NO MARCO POLO," as one sign had to remind us. TLDR: Nice, albeit pricey, place to stay while visiting Maui. Fortunately, we don't stay at our base camp for long as we'd rather be out-and-about so their no fun police didn't really affect our vacation.

    Two days prior to our arrival, the host emailed us to inform us that the AC unit was not working…read more They gave us the option of cancelling, but it was spring break, and likely there were no other options of finding somewhere else to stay. They told us the AC would be working by Monday. We opted to keep our reservation. The AC was not fixed until Wednesday, and we had these portable units in just the bedrooms, which were really inconvenient as the exhaust was piped through the windows and patio doors of our master bedroom so we couldn't really use the upstairs lanai - which is one of the reasons I chose this unit. Very disappointing. When the HVAC contractor came to fix he told me he didn't think these AC units had been working for "quite some time" so I felt like we were lied to and the property manager/owner had known about the issue way prior to our arrival. The unit itself is absolutely beautiful and I loved the open floor plan of the kitchen and living room. FYI there is not direct beach access as it looks. You have to walk down about a block in order to access the beach which was also disappointing. The pool was about 3 blocks from the rental. Quite the walk with all your items and a 10 month old baby and 2 kids. On Wednesday, there was some construction going on and without warning, our water was shut off at 8am. Apparently they had a planned outage but didn't notify anyone of this until about 9:30. Again, we were caught off guard and it's very difficult when you have small children with you and no water. When I called, the management company would not give me any sort of time frame on the fix and basically said sorry we don't know what to tell you. The beach was also very high surf, and not just due to the weather. The slope was very steep and not really suitable for swimming. So if you are going here with the intention of walking the beach or snorkeling, this is not the place. Tons of ants in the kitchen and even some in the bedrooms, really should get some sort of exterminator for that. This was our 4th trip to Maui, and the most I have spent on a rental, and I would say it's the most disappointed I have been. I will not rent from the Puamana rental units again. I also had called the Puamana Property management company when our water was shut off and the woman who answered the phone was extremely rude and told me she would have maintenance bring me water and they never did. She said it wasn't her problem and to contact my property owner, but Maui Vacation rentals told me to contact her. Overall just not very happy with how we were treated.
