Hawaiian Monk Seal by Jennifer Johnson

Maui’s own Jennifer Johnson captures more awesome footage off Maui, this time of a Hawaiian Monk seal. This seal is awesome and everyone in the area is exceedingly lucky to get the rara appearance. Jennifer gets lots of rare appearances and tons of beautiful underwater footage off the Maui Coast from Boss Frog’s own Quicksilver and FrogmanII boats. If you come on the Quicksilver to snorkel at Molokini, Turtle Town or other spots you are likely to meet Jennifer and have the chance to have your trip documented by her. Get a custom DVD of your day at snorkeling off Maui only from Frogman charters. If you want a custom underwater video, it can’t hurt to ask her at her facebook or just like her there to get beautiful underwater updates. Jennifer Johnson is a premiere Maui underwater videographer.

The Whales aren’t hear yet so you wont get eaten like Pinocchio

You might remember how  how Pinocchio was swallowed by a whale or how Disney made it a flying space whale. How silly is that? Incredibly. Everyone knows flying whales do not eat marionettes, living or otherwise. You can be sure you won’t be eaten by a flying space whale in Maui either because all of our whales have lost their wings. Yes it is a little sad but considering they would actually need jet propulsion engines to fly properly, it’s no big loss.

All kidding aside the incredible Humpback whales will be back to Maui in a few months and in the meantime, there is plenty to do both in the surf and under the surface of the ever fantastic Pacific Ocean. Surfing, Jet Skiing, Snorkeling, Boogey Boarding and Fishing are just a few of Maui’s many water bound pleasures. So come on over and get ready to get wet, it’s hot outside and your going to want to play in the sea all day long!

Summertime Sports, Parasailing and Jetskiing

Parasailing and jet skiing on Maui are two primarily summertime sports. The main reason for this is that our beautiful friends, the humpback whales are in Alaska from May through November.

Prepare to fly high over Lahaina either together in a couple or separately from 400 to 800 astounding feet high. Imagine Haleakala, now imagine flying above the ocean 1/12th as high! Insane! But perfectly safe as well.

Jet skiing on Maui is like jet skiing anywhere in the world, except your on Maui the favorite island in the entire world of many travel groups and magazines. If your 18 or over you can race alone on your ski, go as fast as you can! Race your friends and family! If your over 15 you can drive your guardian around and scare the pants off em. If your younger than 15 your going to have to settle for being the passenger, still incredible fun, “FASTER DAD!”. (Of course they will give you safety instructions on scene.)

At Hawaii Discount Activities you can find four fantastic Parasail and Jet Ski activities on Maui. Be prepared for tons of fun and wear plenty of Sunscreen and a bathing suit. Chances are your gonna get wet.

Haleakala – House of the Sun

Haleakala is the largest dormant volcano on the earth, from its base below the sea to its height it is not the highest mountain on the earth but it is one of the tallest. Only Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii are taller. Haleakala tops Mount Everest from base to top by 675 odd feet! The drive to the top is one of the steepest vehicular ascents in the world to 10,000 feet from sea level.

World famous for the rare Silversword plant, awe inspiring sunrises and incredible geology, Haleakala is a place of wonder that has so much to do and so much to see. Hiking in the 11 kilometer double erosion basin is recommended for anyone fit enough to endure the rugged terrain and sparse amenities. The National Park Service maintains 3 cabins for visitors and 2 campgrounds. There are horse back rides and you can also day hike down the Sliding Sands trail and up the ‘Switchbacks’ but be sure your in shape, even the day hike is a 9 mile doozy with 2.9 miles up steep switchbacks.

Wait a second now, hiking is not all that’s in store on Haleakala, no there’s inspiration and awe for everyone, not just the rugged hikers. The sunrise at Haleakala’s peak is world famous and there are tours to take you to see it. Also exceedingly popular are the biking tours which bring you into the park for sunrise (or later if your not that eager to get up at 2 or 3 am.) and then drive just outside the park to bike the rest of the way down to Kula, Makawao or even sea level in Paia. Check out some of these great Haleakala Bike Tours right here through the links right here! If you solo rent a bikee sure to stop at Kula Lodge on the way down for a hot meal and a warm atmosphere with a great view. And remember, whatever way you enjoy Haleakala, is the right way, being one of the biggest mountains on earth has advantages after all, including the ability to please everyone.

Paradise Every Day!

Where else in the world can you ride on horseback, snorkel and fly in a helicopter all in the same week? Plenty really. Ok, but where can you bike down a mountain, Watch whales and ride in a submarine? Ok not so many… Yeah true but where else can you tour an ancient  whaler, play golf and parasail? Alright, alright still quite a few places. So what makes Maui Activities any different than say, the Caribbean, Jamaica, and Greece? Well come on over and find out why Conde Naste is still calling Maui the best island in the world.

There are so many things to do in so many different climates on this one island, you could come back every year for life and still have plenty to do. There’s no time like the present to hurry up and start enjoying Maui to the fullest. Aloha!

Here comes June and more reasons people love Quicksilver and Frogman Adventures

bltinabc from Abbotsford gave us this review about the Frogman II Snorkeling Cruise:

“great experience ”
We loved our trip to Molokini. We had heard that if the weather is bad, some places will take you just offshore to somewhere you could have just driven too. So, even though it was quite windy, we were really happy we were able to make it to Molokini. The crew was fabulous and made it a really fun experience. We felt it was a really good value for what you got. We even got to see humpback whales up close on the way back as a bonus! We really enjoyed the whole experience.

Thank you bltinabc, we are glad you had a great time!
And here’s another review from the batch…

Gdogg629 from San Diego, California says of the Frogman II Snorkeling Cruise:

Aloha!
