Maui Real Estate

Looking for something to do with the keiki this Summer vacation? Fun Factory, at the Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului, opened a glow in the dark mini golf that's a great alternative for hot afternoons.
It's located downstairs, across from the keiki playground, by the bus stop.
The entrance fee is not cheap, but they offer a package with bouncy castles, 20 Fun Factory tokens and a round of mini golf for $17 ($15 for large groups), and they also have birthday packages.

I just got this e-mail from Pacific Whale Foundation announcing a 30% Kamaaina discount for all their whalewatch ecotours until May 16, 2010. Read on:

Great News for Kama'aina:

Save 30% on ANY
Pacific Whale Foundation Whalewatch!


Aloha Hawaii Neighbor,

Want to get out to see the whales?  Don't wait too long! It's the peak of whalewatch season and the sightings have been incredible.

Here at Pacific Whale Foundation, we decided to make it easy and affordable for Hawaii residents to take a break, experience the whales and nature and leave any worries back on shore. That's why we're offering a 30% kamaaina discount on all of our whalewatch ecotours, from now through May 16.

With this special discount, you can go whalewatching for as little as $13.96 (plus tax and fees). That's a fantastic price for two hours of discovery and fun at sea.

Got kids? Be sure to bring them along, too. As part of our special, kids ages 12 and under, go free, with one free child per paying adult.

Additional kids are normally $15.30. With our special 30% kamaaina discount, they are just $10.70, plus taxes and fees.

This special is excluvisvely for kamaaina. You must present your Hawaii driver's license at check-in to receive your discount. Members of your party who are also requesting the discount must be prepared to show their Hawaii i.d. when checking-in for the cruise.

Pacific Whale Foundation offers whalewatch cruises from both Maalaea and Lahaina Harbors. There are 15 trips departing each day, so you can easily find a time that's convenient for you. To check out our whalewatch schedules, click here.
