Most hotels have them available to rent along with cabanas

We have personally not seen this. However. U need to find a section of beach that has sand in the water instead of a rocky bottom. I recommend the water shoes.

We used CVS but it did not arrive on time so we used the United Airlines service at the SFO airport. Pricey but fast and efficient - we will use them again this year if still required. We live on the East Coast so options are limited.

Hi sorry I am just seeing this. If you havent cruised yet we just took a cab to Ka'anapali beach and rented beach chairs umbrellas. Taxis are readily avalable to take you back to the port. Ka’anapali Beach – 3 Miles north of pier. You can also take Maui bus #25 ($4 all day pass) or a cab ($20 one way) to Whalers Village for shopping and restaurants. (Suggested: lunch at Hulu Grill or lunch at Leilani’s and their Hulu Pie, both restaurants are in Whaler’s Village) Walk thru Whalers Village to the Beachwalk and walk north towards Black Rock for beach and snorkeling. Rent cabana/beach chairs from Hal Huaka’I water activity center at Ka’anapali Beach Hotel for $45 includes 2 beach chairs and 1 umbrella. Then go further north to snorkel at Black Rock.

i stayed at hotel RESORT KAANAPALI ALI parking garage for their guest.

If you're going to be a black rock most restaurants and shops in Whaler's Village will validate...so park in the mall parking.

Honestly, I’ve taken a snorkeling trip and I didn’t enjoy it.... I felt like most of the tour was just time spent on the boat and the actual snorkeling was minimal. I found we saw everything right off the beach! Try Kapalua Bay or Kameole III! Loved both of these and saw huge turtles!

Only one road and I'd highly recommend leaving early, taking drinks/snacks (or even pack a lunch), and stopping when you can. My husband suffers from motion sickness and he drove. We took our time and stopped occasionally to sight-see. It helped that he was driving also, rather than riding. Go slowly (for safety reasons as well). We got to Charles Lindberg's grave-site where most people turn and go back because the road gets tighter and rougher in places, but we continued on around the southern end of the island. We did not have any problems but drove cautiously especially around corners. It was beautiful. I recommend that you give it a try. If it bothers you, you can always stop and go back. But again, if you drive slowly (which you really have to anyway) and stop frequently, get out and walk a bit from time to time, you should be fine.

We saw one while just sitting on the beach as it swam by. They aren’t plentiful is it is more a luck of the draw. Good luck!

If you stay at the Maui Eldorado, beach chairs are provided. Not sure about umbrellas.. they also have a cabana with kitchen facilities so you can put your lunch to chill while you swim.
