Day Three: Tropical Plantation and Hiking...With a Side of Shaved Ice
22 July ’14
Distance Walked: 6.9 km
1:38 PM - Maui Tropical Plantation
Our first stop of the day was the Maui Tropical Plantation which was underwhelming, if you didn’t pony up cash for a guided tour…like we did.
The best part about self-guided tours is that they allow you to stray off the beaten path — like walking to the left and eating--OMG WHAT AM I DOING?!
3:33 PM - ʻĪao Valley State Park
At ʻĪao Valley State Park, we made our own parking spot and hiked a bit to see the ʻĪao Needle.
4:17 PM - Sam Sato’s
Anticipating that we will be hungry later without having a chance to head back to the condo, we check out a place called Sam Sato’s where we grab some fried noodles to go, as well as a tanktop.
5:08 PM - Kanaha Beach Park
We head over to Kanaha Beach Park to feast on the “okay” noodles, then play around on the beach.
9:14 PM - S&Q’s Coffee & Shave Ice Shack
Near the end of the day, a few of us went to go check out what this “shaved ice” was that we kept seeing everywhere. Thanks to Urbanspoon, we found S&Q’s Coffee & Shave Ice Shack which became a favourite.
