Matt's Unofficial
Maui Adventure

He lived here for 15 years. He knows the secret spots.
And somehow he volunteered to show us around. πŸ˜‚

Unofficial, spontaneous, and absolutely not a commercial tour.

Chapter One

How This Happened…

The official tour we were looking at?

Sold out.

Then Matt dropped this little sentence into the chat:

"I used to live in Maui for 15 years and know some of the secret spots."

Well.

The meaning Petra chose to give that message was obviously that Matt had just volunteered to organize our own adventure. πŸ˜‚

And apparently Matt agrees.

So here we are.

No giant tour bus.

No overly orchestrated tourist experience.

Just a group of us exploring Maui with someone who actually called this island home for 15 years.

Chapter Two

So… What Are We Doing?

That's what we're figuring out together. Matt mentioned the Road to Hana, and we've also been talking about hiking, biking and exploring some of the places most visitors never discover.

Road to Hana

A day exploring one of Maui's most iconic drives β€” hopefully with a few Matt-approved stops along the way.

Hike

Beautiful scenery, fresh air and something that earns us dinner later.

Bike

For the people who hear 'vacation' and somehow think physical activity sounds fun. πŸ˜‚

Secret-Spot Adventure

Matt lived in Maui for 15 years. We're trusting the man.

These are ideas, not a confirmed itinerary. Nothing is locked in until Matt and the group figure it out together.

A friendly heads-up: some of these adventures can be physically demanding. We'll shape the final plan around whoever's in the crew so everyone has a great (and safe) day.

Chapter Three

Want In?

If you'll already be in Maui on October 2 and this sounds like your kind of day, add your name below. Tell us what you'd most love to do and we'll pull everybody into one WhatsApp group to figure out the final plan.

Who's coming with you? (so we know the real head-count β€” partners, kids, the whole crew)

Heads up β€” some of these adventures (hiking, biking, parts of the Road to Hana) can be physically demanding. We'll tailor the final plan to the group, but tell us below how you're feeling so Matt can keep everyone happy and safe.

What are you most interested in? (tick as many as you like)
How adventurous are you feeling?

We'll pull everyone into one WhatsApp group to figure out the final plan. No spam, no tour bus β€” just friends.

You're in! 🌴 We're putting together Matt's unofficial Maui Adventure for October 2. We'll get everyone into the group and work out the final adventure together. More soon!

One small thing before you go…

Share a little kindness or a moment of gratitude with someone today. It costs nothing, and somehow it always comes back around. 🌴
