“Short and sweet tour of Maui. Not a whole lot to see if you aren’t into aquariums and want to get a feel for the island. Told our tour guide that we wanted to see what locals do - shopping center, eateries and we didn’t get any of that. Beautiful sights and we saw plenty of whales and turtles which made it worth the day!”
