Maui Whale Kayak Trips, January 2017 – Retreat Details
Living Simple: This natural setting is an optimal environment for you to relax and sink deeply into the rejuvenating and inspiring energies of this sacred island and its vibrant ocean. It is an ideal opportunity for you to deepen your connection with the vital forces of the natural world.
Off the Grid: Wifi is available, and I encourage you to use this golden opportunity to turn off your phones and computers and unplug from the internet this week!
Arriving/Departure: Your final airport destination is Kahalui airport on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The airport code for Kahalui is OGG. Please plan to arrive to the Kahalui airport by 3pm on the first day of our trip.
Pre-arranged Airport Shuttles: We have arranged a shuttle from the airport at 3:30pm on the first day of our trip. This is a free shuttle to take you from the airport to our home for the week. We need to know at least two weeks in advance if you wish to be on that shuttle. If you wish to arrive earlier or later, you will need to arrange and pay for your own transportation to the retreat. There are taxis available, the cost is approximately $60 one way. We need to depart our retreat setting in the morning of the last day of our retreat. There will be a free shuttle departing at 11am on the morning of the last day of our trip, Jan 13th or Jan 21st, that you can take to the airport. If you have to depart earlier, or wish to go to another location, you will need to arrange and pay for your own transportation.
Arranging your own transportation: If you are not planning to be on the pre-arranged shuttle and instead are arranging your own transportation to and from the airport, SpeediShuttle is a reliable organization to book your shuttle. And there are also taxis that you can hire right at the curb to take you to our location.
Lodging: We will be sleeping on cots in bunkhouses on the beach, there are up to six people per bunkhouse. You will be provided with a sleeping bag upon arrival.
