Maui Trip - Day 4 (Part 2 of 5)

 

After snorkeling in the morning, we cleaned up a bit and headed all the way to the far west coast of Maui up to Lahaina and Kaanapali for what is advertised as the "Best Luau on the Island".  What is also pretty crazy is that Lahaina was the location of a tragic fire that burned down almost the entire city about a year before this.  There is almost nothing standing left within the city and it is mostly closed, however part of this historic Luau is specifically called out to help with the recovery effort, and I think this is viewed as something helpful rather than a distraction for the community.

Once you arrive, they give you each these real flower necklaces which went great with our mostly Hawaiian and floral garb.

Here is another picture of us trying to get the early sunset behind us.

We were led to our private table, and the guys were definitely feeling the vibe of this place.  They were super excited for the full night's festivities.
