Did you know that there are additional islands around Maui that are absolutely gorgeous? And, you can get to most of them via a boat ride. I recommend that you take notes, because if you don't know about these islands at this point; then I have some really neat information for you to jot down.
Firstly, there are a few islands you may not have heard about yet. The first one on this list is the island of Kaho'olawe (p.s. the w sounds like a v) It is a remarkable island in that it boasts of the name "The Target Island,"that is because it used to be occupied by the U.S. Government. There also used to be a lot of what looked like fireworks coming from Kaho'olawe, but it was not fireworks at all; it was the exploding land mines.
Today, what is on Kaho'olawe are what I jokingly refer to as a lot of paranoid goats. I've never seen the goats, but I've been told that they exist. Throughout time I have had friends that have spoken about them. My son did a humanitarian day with his college, where they did a big clean up of the island. According to Wikipedia - access to Kaho'olawe requires escort and careful attention within areas know to contain unexploded ordnance. I do NOT recommend that you go there. It is best viewed at a distance.
Instead of going to Kaho'olawe, you can go to the very popular Molokini. Molokini is a very beautiful and interesting snorkeling destination. It is interesting because it is in the shape of the crescent moon and you can go there via several different carriers depending on how much you want to spend and how long of a trip you want to go on. It is best to go with your family or at least as a couple. Most think it is well worth the cost of the trip.
Stay tuned for my next blog, for more gorgeous travel destinations; including the incredible island of Molokai, also known as "The Friendly Isle".
