During the last few days we had in Maui, we spent a lot of time at the beach and pool, but we also checked out a few sights and cool places. First, we went to the Maui Ocean Center which was an aquarium that specialized in sea life native to Hawaii. We saw some really cool fish there! Some were a little unusual...
Ha! No but seriously, we saw some beautiful fish and they had a huge shark tank with rays and multiple types of sharks. The tropical fish they had there were beautiful too!
The aquarium also had a number of sea turtles which were great to see up close. We saw some of them at the beaches in Maui. One swam right past me at Napili Bay Beach and we saw two others in the waves at the beach right in front of our hotel. Since they're endangered though, you are not supposed to get too close to them.
After our visit, Chris found some dolphins and whales to "swim" with!
Another thing we did during our second Maui visit was check out the town of Lahaina. It's an old whaling town which is now a cute little spot to shop and walk around. There are many art galleries there and we ended up getting a few pieces for our house that will remind us of the beauty of Hawaii!
And on our final day (actually on the way to the airport) we stopped at Maui Tropical Plantation, a beautiful collection of flowers, plants and produce. They also had zip lining but Chris was only three pounds short of being big enough for it. He told me he wanted to do it so maybe next time we will try it out. A lot of the pictures from the plantation I included in the flower section so here are just a few more...
Oh and I don't want to forget another overly friendly duck who paid me a very close visit!
