Experience Hawaii saved the day in Maui. The booking company failed to provide Experience Hawaii with the information and payment of our tour. Experience Hawaii honored the tour anyway and provided a great guide,Jonah,who really took care of us. IOA state park and La Perouse Bay were gorgeous and Makena Beach was scenic.We learned about the recovery efforts in Lahaina and information about Maui. We also saw some lovely waterfalls. It was a great day.
