Summertime on the Valley Isle

Spending the 4th of July on Maui is always a treat, depending on how you like to spend your time there is something for all to enjoy. Many prefer to head on over to the beach with the ohana (family in Hawaiian) and close friends to take advantage of living in paradise by basking in the sun and going for a few dips in the ocean. And then there are others that prefer to celebrate independence day in style. For those who to choose to make this year’s 4th of July unique, below are some of my suggestions.

The Options
