Surfing instructor? Nope. Hula dancer? Negative. Lei stringer? Mmm, not quite. In fact, with more than 15,000 couples flying over Pacific waters to marry here every year, the job-of-the-moment is—you guessed it—wedding planning. "I Do" Experts Travel to any of the Aloha State’s six isles and you’ll find that these I-do experts are almost as ubiquitous as palm trees. You’ll see them toting voluminous Rolodexes stuffed with numbers for everyone from ukulele ensembles to fire-eaters, chocolatiers to florists, photographers to traditional Polynesian officiants. Distance is nothing to these gurus, who routinely work with couples all over the world—dashing off detailed e-mails that will be waiting for you when you log on in the a.m., scanning snaps of tropical floral arrangements, so brilliant that their aroma practically wafts off your screen, and mailing CDs of local music groups that the two of you can slow dance to at home. From your flight arrangements to a week’s worth of fun-in-the-sun activities for the wedding party, coordinators will do anything to create the poi-fect event—even if the only guest you’re planning on inviting is the sunset. Low-Stress Specialists Couples who want a low-stress affair leave the arranging to the wedding specialist at their resort, or hire an independent on-island coordinator. Though most professionals suggest starting the process as early as possible, especially for a large ceremony (ideally six months to one year), many can whip up a simple celebration in 24 hours—as long as you bring the bare essentials (government-issued photo IDs and a $60 marriage-license fee). Staying on after your vows? Your hotel may just treat you to some bubbly and an upgrade. Which brings us to the very best part of tying the knot in Hawaii. Instead of spending the first day of your married life on an airplane, you’ll be able to start your honeymoon the way the nuptial gods intended—in paradise. —Sally Brady Hawaii Wedding Countdown Checklist Hawaii Wedding Style Real Hawaii Wedding: Holly & Jeremy Getting Married in : Oahu Maui Big Island Kauai Molokai Lanai Brides.com Home | Fashion | Beauty | Wedding Style | Etiquette & Planning | Registry Ideas | Honeymoon | Real Brides Local Planning | Shop Online | Prizes and Offers | Newsletter | Privacy Policy | -- Advertise With Us | Contact Us Brides magazine In This Issue | Subscribe | Customer Care | Media Kit | Bookstore Fairchild Bridal Group Wedding Planning Sites: Brides.com | ModernBride.com | ElegantBride.com Prom Planning Site: YourProm.com Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy .© Fairchild Internet, Inc.

Maui snorkeling spot on

Maui Snorkel Map - The Frog's favorite spots! Of course some of the best snorkeling available from Maui is around Molokini Crater. This requires a short boat ride, and we have just the trip for you! Ride aboard the Quicksilver , a brand new catamaran complete with glass bottom viewing area, waterslide and plenty of room to make sure everyone is comfortable. HOME | CHEAP FUN | GEAR RENTAL | MAUI MAPS | SNORKEL CRUISES This is a map of Boss Frog's favorite snorkeling spots. They are all on the West side of the island because that's where the water is generally safer. When North swells come in, it is best to snorkel at the southern locations, i.e. numbers 7 through 15. During South swells, numbers 1 through 6 are best. Generally, ocean swells come from the North in the Winter and South in the Summer. This isn't always the case so the best course is to check with The Frog when you get here for the latest report. Honolu'a Bay Honolu'a may well be the best Maui snorkeling spot on a good day. A good day here is when there have been no recent North swells or rain. During North swells, this is a world class surfing spot and for obvious reasons not good snorkeling. If there has been a recent rain in the area, the run-off enters at the mouth of the bay and ruins the otherwise great visibility. Most of the time this is a great place to snorkel or dive. There are coral formations on each side of the bay and lots of colorful fish. The chance of spotting a few turtles here is excellent. This is a marine reserve so you are not allowed to take anything but pictures. Location: North of Napili on Hwy. 30, about 1/2 mile past mile marker 32, you will see a metal gate down in a wash. Park where you can and walk around the gate, through a canopy of trees and to the water. Be sure to park off the road. If you are not completely outside of the white fog line, you may get ticketed. Do not leave valuables in your car. Facilities: none Beach: Large, smooth rocks Experience Level: Beginner to advanced MAP Makulei'a Bay Makulei'a Bay, also known as "Slaughter House" to surfers, is a good place to snorkel. The snorkeling isn't quite as good as Honolu'a, but if there are some in your group that want to just hang out on the beach, this would be a good compromise. If you are an experienced swimmer, you could snorkel around the northern point to Honolu'a. There are coral formations on each side of the bay and lots of colorful fish. The chance of spotting a few turtles here is good. This is a marine reserve so you are not allowed to take anything but pictures. Location: North of Napili on Hwy. 30, at mile marker 32, you will see a chain link fence at the top of the cliff. Park where you can and walk down the concrete stairway to the beach. Be sure to park off the road. If you are not completely outside of the white fog line, you may get ticketed. Do not leave valuables in your car. Facilities: None Beach: Beautiful, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to advanced MAP Kapalua Bay Kapalua Bay, known as the prettiest beach on Maui is also a good snorkeling spot. The best snorkeling is on the north side of the bay. Unless you are very experienced, you should stay within the bay due to the potential for strong currents outside. Location: On Hwy. 30, at the Napili Plaza, turn toward the ocean on Napilihau Street. When Napilihau Street "T's" at Lower Honoapi'ilani Road, turn right. Drive almost a mile to Napili Kai Beach Club and turn toward the ocean at the Shoreline Access sign. Park in the lot and walk through the tunnel to the beach. The best snorkel access is on the north side of the bay. Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms Beach: Beautiful, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Kahekili Beach Park Kahekili Beach Park, also known as Airport Beach, is a nice place to spend the day with the family. Great facilities and lots of reef to snorkel. The calm water and easy access make it a popular spot for scuba instruction. Location: North end of Ka'anapali, on Hwy. 30, just north of mile marker 25, turn toward the ocean on Pu'ukolii Road. Facilities: Lots of parking, showers, change rooms, restrooms, large covered picnic areas, barbecues and pay phones Beach: Nice, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Black Rock Black Rock is like a wall dive for snorkelers. A lava outcropping with coral attached. Swim from the South end up to the north and back again. If there is no ocean swell, this can be a very clear snorkel. One usually sees turtles along the way and an occasional tako (octopus). A common spot for night dives. Location: On Hwy. 30 in Ka'anapali turn toward the ocean on Ka'anapali Parkway. Look for the free beach access parking. If it's full, you'll have to park at Whaler's Village parking. If you decide to eat or buy something at this mall or have lunch, you can have your ticket validated. Facilities: Lots of parking (some free some not - see above), showers, change rooms, restrooms, pay phones, shops and restaurants. Beach: Beautiful, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Wahikuli Park Location: Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms, Beach: Nice, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Olowalu Acres of coral reef. You could spend the whole day here and not see it all. If it's a little murky at first don't get discouraged - just go further out. This area stays shallow for a long way out. Follow the sand channels until you are deep enough not to scrape your belly on the coral. This location is also a good choice in the afternoon as it more protected from the trades. Location: On Hwy. 30 at mile marker 14, about 10 miles south of Lahaina. See mile marker post on the mountain side of the road. Be careful not to park in soft sand! Facilities: None Beach: Narrow sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to advanced MAP Coral Gardens Great snorkeling with lots of coral and tropical fish. Good spot to see turtles. Unless you are on a boat, this is only recommended for advanced snorkelers due to the long swim and sometimes difficult access. Location: On Hwy. 30, about 1/2 mile north of the tunnel. The first parking area north of the Pali (cliffs). Enter by parking area and swim south in front of the cliffs. Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms, Beach: None Experience Level: Advanced (beginner to intermediate from a boat) MAP Kamaole Beaches Kamaole beaches 1, 2, and 3 are stretches of sandy beaches along South Kihei Road. Each beach is bordered by rocky points. These points are the best snorkeling. Great family beaches with plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Location: On South Kihei Road in Kihei Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms, lifeguards, phones, park facilities Beach: Nice, sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Ulua/Mokapu Mokapu and Ulua are two beaches separated by a nice little snorkel point. This is a nice place for the family, especially if you are staying in the Wailea area. Parking lot may be full if you are not there early or later in the afternoon. Location: In Wailea between the Renaissance and Outrigger hotels. See the sign on Wailea Alanui and turn toward the water Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms, Beach: Nice, sandy beach on either side of snorkel area Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Polo Beach Polo Beach is by the Kea Lani Hotel. This is a pretty sand beach with the best snorkeling area to the right. Nice coral formations and plenty of fish. Location: Between Wailea and Makena in front of the Kea Lani Hotel. Take Kaukahi (the road on the south side of the hotel) toward the ocean and turn right at the bottom of the hill, following the beach access signs. Facilities: Showers, change rooms, restrooms. Beach: Nice sandy beach Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate MAP Five Caves One of Maui's best snorkel or scuba spots. Abundant marine life including many turtles. Not for beginners due to the swimming distance . Many caves and "swim-thrus" for advanced scuba divers. Visibility is sometimes poor after rain or south swells. Location: South of Wailea on Wailea Alanui, turn toward the ocean on Makena Rd, just south of the Makena Surf Condos. In about 1/4 mile, you will see some dirt parking on both sides of the road and a small graveyard between the parking and the ocean. Follow the trail to the sea and look for an inlet for entry. Facilities: None Beach: None Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced MAP Molokini Crater Geologically, Molokini is a volcanic cinder cone that has eroded over the ages. Now the island is a Marine Life Conservation District Seabird Sanctuary, and a world-class dive location. Located 3 miles off the shores of Maui, it is famous for having incredibly clear water with visibility exceeding 100 feet almost every day. You will enjoy thousands of brightly colored tropical fish and it is possible to see monk seals, whale sharks, manta rays, spotted eagle rays and harmless white tip sharks. Molokini is one of the most popular & exotic snorkel & diving sites in the entire world. It is a must see destination for any visitor interested in Maui's underwater world . Location: 3 miles off the coast - boats only Facilities: Whatever is on the boat Beach: None Experience Level: Beginner to advanced MAP Ahihi Keanau Reserve Snorkeling at it's best. Anywhere along this reserve you feel comfortable entering the water is great. Ahihi Bay itself is a great place to get used to your gear if you are new or rusty at snorkeling. After you get comfortable in the water, head out of the bay for some of the best snorkeling on the island. Location: South of Wailea and all of the hotels, after the road narrows and follows the coast closely, you will begin to see Ahihi Keanau Reserve signs. Ahihi Bay is an obvious bay within the reserve. Facilities: None - park where you can. Beach: Rocky to none Experience Level: Beginner to advanced MAP La Perouse To the North is reserve and the best snorkeling. This is an excellent place to snorkel if it isn't too windy. There is a pod of dolphins that frequents the area - usually in the early morning hours. If you are lucky they will swim with you! Location: Past Ahihi Reserve, this is end of the road unless you have 4-wheel drive and a lot of clearance.

The suite was very clean and very spacious. We liked the two minute walk to the beach and the awesome valet parking.

The pool is wonderful for laps or playing and there is a secluded hot tub. On the bottom floor, there is a ABC store that carries everything you need or forgot to bring. Very close to lots of restaurants and lovely walks along the beach or around shopping areas. Across from beach hotels, easy access to beaches. Owners lounge has internet access, big screen television, pool table, fitness room for ladies and men, etc. You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 6 of7 Yahoo!

We have stayed at this same place 4 times in the last 15 years and are headed back again next week. We love it. The pool on the top of the hotel is wonderful if you don't want to fight the sand, but you are only across the street and between the large beachfront hotels from Waikiki Beach. Great location for walking to anywhere downtown Waikiki and the bus stop is only about 3 blocks away. We LOVE IT THERE! We started going in 1989 with 14 family members and this year there will be 29 of us. What a great family vacation! You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 5 of5 Yahoo!

User from Louisville,Kentucky 06/07/05 Overall: Service Cleanliness Location Value Last Visit: June 2005 Great for: Families, Singles, Students, Business, Beds, Pool, Spa, Internet Connection, Romance, Luxury, Hip/Trendy Scene, Nightlife The people at the Imperial are the best you will find anywhere. Everyone from the valets to housekeeping to the management staff do everything they can to make your stay the most enjoyable vacation of your life. The hotel is always spotless inside and out with every attention paid to detail. Being just across the street from the beach and one block away from the best shopping in the U.S. makes the Imperials location A-1. The pictures on this site does not do the hotel justice. It is a very nice place with beautiful rooms, full gym with a private workout area for women who prefer privacy, 3 jacusies, his and her saunas, and a georgious view from the rooftop pool. As I said my famile will only stay at the Imperial when we are in Hawaii. Enjoy your vacation! You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 2 of4 Yahoo! Users foundthe following review helpful: Don't Stay Here!!! by monakayk 10/09/05 Overall: Service Cleanliness Location Value Last Visit: October 2005 The Imperial Hawaii Resort is the worst and dumpiest hotel I have ever stayed in! Usually we stay in moderate priced hotels such as: Comfort Inns but we do expect clean-nice rooms. We stayed in the 'PALM SUITE' price range $258-$271. This so called suite had one bedroom, which hardly had room enough to get around the bed from one side to the other. There was no dresser in the bedroom...the TV had to be mounted on the wall. The bathroom adjoining the bedroom was so small that only one person could be in there at a time. I could've washed my hands, used the toilet and washed my feet in the shower (no tub) at the same time if I wanted too--that is how small it was. The sink--had no counter area at all to it, therefore I had to place toiletries items on top of the toilet tank! There was only room for a glass near the sink which we placed our toothbrushes in. In the living room there was a pull-down double bed, and small. Also in the living room was a small dinning table that was virtually useless because when the bed was pulled down we had to shove the table up to the window just to make room for the bed. The coffee table had to be slide up to the couch to make room to walk around the bed when it was pulled down. The 'full kitchen' was a joke at this price range. There was a very small microwave, a mini refrigerator that bearly had room for a few items. There was a stove with an oven on top of it that dated back to the early 70's and didn't work well! A coffee maker but no coffee,etc was provided. As for cleaniless....we had to call housekeeping the minute we got into our suite because both bathrooms had mildrew on the tiles! Housekeeping did show up later that evening while we were at dinner and 'tried' to clean it...but there still remained mildew on many of the tiles throughout our stay. Mainly due to the fact that these bathrooms had not been cleaned properly in years and not renovated at all since the 70's when it was first built, therefore the mildew was so embedded in the grout of the tiles...it would not come out! The maid service here was only once in 7 days....therefore we only received clean towels once or we could personally go down to housekeeping and get more on our own! Remember...this is a 'resort' suite and with a price range of almost $300 a night and we had to get our own towels. Even when we called housekeeping and asked for more..they refused to bring them to us. The floors were only vacuumed once in 7 days. The linens on the beds were never changed in 7 days and the bed in the bedroom was only made up once. The pull-down bed was never made up or linens changed at all in 7 days! The bathrooms were only cleaned once in 7 days...other than the extra cleaning we got because of our complaint of the mildew on the tiles our first day, which the bathrooms should've been cleaned properly to begin with before we checked into the suite! The walk to the beach was short...but the beach was the worst I have ever been to with major hotels right on it and located on Waikiki. The sand (if you call it that) going into the ocean was full of large rocks--not pebbles--but ROCKS! So large in fact that if I wasn't careful walking into the ocean...I could've turned my ankle. So needless to say, we did not swim at this beach...but ended up walking down quite a ways to a better beach. So much for a close beach area to our hotel---NOT! The pool area was not much better. There was no view of the ocean but out one window. There is a huge, tall brick wall all around the pool area due to the fact it is located on the roof of the building. I felt very closed in...even though I was totally outside and on top of a building! Do NOT stay here. It is a DUMP!!! You have found this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 0 of1 Yahoo!
