Different flowering trees take turns blooming so the valley is constantly featuring a different splash of color. <br />Gardening classes are also available, as well as labyrinth walks and hula classes. <br />There is a seasonal stream running through the property so from time to time there is the additional treat of a stream—(or a river!) running through the yard. <br />The elevation is about 1000 feet which is PERFECT on Maui! We are about 10 degrees cooler than sea level which makes for absolutely comfortable days (70-80 degrees) and GREAT temps for sleeping (usually in the 60's).

Speaking of diving...we are avid divers and can assist you booking Scuba Diving with the best dive operations on Maui.<br />There are two Golden Retrievers on the adjacent property both of which are extremely friendly .... Please note that this is a log house in the middle of the jungle and while we do everything we can to control insects, they are a part of life in Hawaii and virtually impossible to eliminate. If you are phobic or highly sensitive to insects, you may not want to choose to stay in the jungle. We do have the house treated and it should not be a problem. But you may see an occasional insect.<br />You will definitely want a rental car....there is a bus stop a mile or two away but not ideal....and bikes are a little hazardous as these are hilly, windy, narrow roads. <br /><br />Getting Married on Maui?
