Useful Tips

For those with more time, consider adding a sunset dinner cruise or a visit to a local farm. For those with less time, consider skipping Maui Chef's Tour, as it takes up a large chunk of time and money. Also, keep in mind that many restaurants require reservations, so be sure to book in advance.
