Maui Surf/Kayak/Bike Recommendations
Hello fellow FT'ers,
I will be visiting Maui for the first time, and am looking for recommendations on which companies to pick for doing the following activities:
- a beginner surf lesson
- a kayak/snorkel tour
- a sunrise tour of Haleakala (probably with biking down)
I will be traveling by myself; I would prefer to participate in a group format, but don't mind doing a private tour/lesson. My stay is located in Kihei, and can travel with my rental car.
Any past experience and/or company recommendations you may share? Did you book direct or through a third-party? Did you use any coupons/discounts?
Thanks!

I'd look at a couple guide books. I like Lonely Planet and the Hawaii Revealed series at http://www.hawaiirevealed.com/

I can strongly endorse West Maui Cycles for renting bikes. I rented a Specialized Sirrus from them for 4 days (actually parts of 5 days) and put about 105 miles on it while I had it. I felt it was a good bike at a fair price - and probably a good value compromise for about half the cost of a Roubaix or Tarmac. They also provide a helmet, lock, tire repair kit, and pedals with clips or cleats as requested. They also offer Haleakala rides.
