Where is Makena Landing? South Maui…. please google / apple map "Makena Landing" and it will take your there. Assume you'll have a 5-10 minute delay somewhere.. if not and you're a bit early - that's OK ……, its a great place to chill too. Get your sunscreen on, take a picture, and look out into the bay

Please remember …..

*Bring sunscreen and a towel .. apply sunscreen early, and leave the towel in the car.

*Leave valuables behind. Anything of value loose to your person should be removed and left at

the hotel….Like what you ask… how about watches, necklaces, rings, etc.

*Use the restroom… we don't want a repeat of the dark day back in 2017 ……..There is a

restroom there - a public one…. so again.. public. Some days OK, some days not so much.

*Arrive dressed to get wet.. yes you will be getting wet.

*All things being normal, we'll be off the water around 10.. plus or minus depending on winds,

currents, and the crew.
