VacationIdea.com Vacation Tip
During the high season in the winter months, spring break and in the summer, it's a good idea to book popular activities before you get to Maui. Consider reserving your spa treatments, tee times and cruises, but be sure to leave plenty of time for relaxing.

Most hotels rent masks and snorkels, but the cost can add up, so consider bringing your own gear unless you are staying at Napili Kai Beach Resort which provides complimentary rentals to resort guests.
