Hello! We booked the Fairmont! Yay! Going next week- adult only trip! Which Luau and which Catamaran tour do you suggest - we will be golfing for two days as well!

Thanks!

Congratulations on booking the Fairmont! You’re in for an amazing adult-only getaway on Maui. For your luau and catamaran tour, here are some great options that will provide you with a fantastic experience while on the island:

For the Luau: Maui offers some fantastic luaus, and here are a few great ones near the Fairmont:

  • Old Lahaina Luau - Located in Lahaina, this is one of the most highly recommended luaus on the island. It's known for its authentic Hawaiian experience, incredible food, and stunning sunset views. The setting is intimate, and the performance includes traditional hula dancing and fire-knife performers. It’s a bit of a drive from the Fairmont, but definitely worth it for the authenticity and cultural immersion.
  • The Feast at Lele - This is a more upscale and intimate luau located in Lahaina as well. It’s known for its gourmet multi-course meal served at your table, with each course representing a different island of Polynesia. The show is spectacular, with hula, fire dancing, and amazing oceanfront views. It’s a great choice if you want a more refined and romantic luau experience.
  • Drums of the Pacific Luau - Located at the Hyatt Regency in Lahaina, this luau is another excellent option. It offers a large-scale Hawaiian celebration with a buffet, entertainment, and a lively atmosphere. This one is perfect if you're looking for a fun, high-energy event with traditional Hawaiian music, hula dancing, and a Polynesian-inspired feast.

For the Catamaran Tour: There are a few great catamaran tours that offer both relaxation and adventure, here are some options:

  • Redline Rafting - This is a great option for those who want to explore the coastlines and see the beauty of Maui up close. Redline offers smaller, more intimate tours with an emphasis on adventure, like snorkeling at Molokini Crater or along the coast of Lanai. The boat is a fast, high-performance raft that allows you to access places that larger vessels can’t reach. If you love snorkeling and wildlife watching, this is a fantastic choice.
  • Quinn’s Catamaran - Located in Lahaina, Quinn's offers a more relaxed catamaran tour with an emphasis on scenic views and fun. They offer morning and afternoon snorkel tours, and their boats are comfortable with plenty of space for lounging. If you're looking for a leisurely day on the water with a great crew, this is a wonderful option.
  • Pacific Whale Foundation - If you're visiting between November and April, you can't miss the whale watching tours with the Pacific Whale Foundation. They operate from Lahaina Harbor and offer a variety of tours that include whale watching, snorkeling, and sunset cruises. This is a great option if you’re visiting during whale season, as the Foundation is known for its expertise and commitment to preserving marine life.

Golfing: Since you’ll be golfing for two days, make sure to check out these options:

  • Wailea Golf Club - The Fairmont is very close to the Wailea Golf Club, which offers three championship courses: the Gold, Emerald, and Blue. These courses are beautifully maintained and offer scenic views of the ocean and mountains. If you're looking for an upscale and scenic golf experience, Wailea is a great choice.
  • Kapalua Resort - About a 45-minute drive from the Fairmont, Kapalua offers two world-class courses: the Plantation Course (home to the PGA Tour's Tournament of Champions) and the Bay Course. The Plantation Course is particularly stunning and offers challenging fairways with ocean views. This is a great option if you're looking for a truly memorable round of golf.

Overall, whether you’re looking for adventure on the catamaran or a traditional luau, Maui has plenty of options for an unforgettable experience. Enjoy your trip to Maui and have a wonderful time at the Fairmont!
