While visiting The Shops at Wailea, we decided to participate in a ukulele lesson. Austin is a fabulous instructor. Within the one hour, he had all of us (most of which had never held the instrument before) playing 4 chord songs with proper technique. It was fun, educational, and a wonderful memory to have upon returning home. Highly recommend!
3. Mystery Maui Escape Room
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Private rooms only (you won't be paired with strangers!) with original-themed, 5-star-rated games. Family-friendly, plenty free parking available. Located in Wailuku, Maui - about 15 minutes from the Kahului airport. An escape room is a live, indoor physical adventure where players find clues, solve puzzles to open locks and help solve the mystery to escape the room. Great for couples, families and friends to test their teamwork and communication skills.

We did the Ramen room with 2 experienced and 4 new players. Some of the clues were really creative and things we’d never seen before, but most were reasonable enough that the people who’d never done one before could figure them out. The game master kept us on pace, otherwise we definitely would have run of time, but if you are up for the challenge she gave us the option to go until we asked for clues. We figured with newbies we should have her prompt us if we were struggling. Everyone had a great time! The bonus 10min escape game they let us do afterwards was super fun also and a great free bonus. We competed in 2 teams for the best time. Really enjoyable escape room that was cleverly done!

This is a fabulous aquarium with beautifully presented displays.Loads of lighting and informational displays and the highlight was the shark tank with manta rays and sharks swimming above you in the tunnel.An added bonus for cruise visitors is that you can catch a bus opposite the small port terminal and buy a day pass for $4. The bus takes about 30 minutes to the Ocean centre.

Nice place for a history lesson. Great stuff to see. Wonderful gift shop. The kids were out of school so we had a tour guide with a great smile and a lot of energy. Furniture and clothing, wildlife and plants, and even art work and snails. Beautiful grounds and chickens.
