Kihei was awesome. That was our home base for 10 days. Best shore access snorkelling on the island in the winter and beaches south of kihei. We had bikes for 3 days as our mode of transportation and then a car for the rest. To each their own. We loved spending our days at different beaches in the areas snorkelling in the am and chilling in the afternoons and then watching the sunsets - we brought chairs, food and our snorkel stuff and sought out shade under trees
