Queen’s Bath Kauai!

December 14, 2020 By Marvelous Mouse Travels

Queen’s Bath is on the North Shore of Kauai, near Princeville.

This is a beautiful and somewhat hidden spot that’s worth the hike! It’s a short, steep and sometimes muddy, hike to the bath. Once you’re over the bluff, go left over the volcanic rock and you’ll see the bath.

There’s limited street parking so very early, or sometimes very late, in the day may be best. If possible,
though, also try for low tide. Once you reach the baths, you’ll understand why. At high tide, and in some weather, the water could be crashing over the rocks of the bath, making it dangerous. Pay attention while walking on the rocks as unexpected large waves and/or currents have carried people
away!

Summer is a more calm and better time of year to visit, where Winter can be more dangerous.
Once you are there, it’s a beautiful place and well worth the journey.

Thank you to our Marvelous Mouse agent Karen Fitting for this unique look at Hawaii! When you are ready to plan your Hawaiian vacation reach out to be connected to one of our vacation experts!

Visiting Haleakala National Park

August 13, 2020 By Marvelous Mouse Travels

Haleakala means House of the Sun and has been a sunrise visitor attraction since Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) wrote “It was the sublimest spectacle I ever witnessed, and I think the memory of it will remain with me always”.

Sunrise and Sunset are extremely popular and beautiful times to visit.    A sunrise visit requires a reservation 60 days before you arrive.  Sunset does not require reservations.  These can also be the busiest times at the park.

The weather is highly unpredictable, especially at Sunrise.  Dressing in layers is suggested.  When I went, it was the middle of the day, however we did see the temperature change from the base to the summit as we drove.

We enjoyed the drive to the summit, stopping many times to take short hikes/walks and to see the landscape.  The summit (over 10,000 feet) was amazing and the view were spectacular!  It was mid-afternoon and quite warm on the day in late October, when we visited.  Thankfully there was parking, as it can be limited during peak seasons and times.

This is part of the US National Park system and the entrance fees work like many other parks.  Typically, it’s a single fee per vehicle.  However, the entrance has limited staffing so there are self-pay machines which accept credit card only.

The park typically offers free fee days a couple of time a year! Check the website for more information.

Official National Parks Website: https://www.nps.gov/hale/

There are many tours that include Haleakala such as a Sunrise Bike Tour or Helicopter tour.  Your Marvelous Mouse Travels Planner can assist with planning your Hawaii vacation!

Thank you to our Marvelous Mouse agent Karen Fitting for sharing her experience at Haleakala National Park!

Aulani ~ A Disney Resort & Spa

November 1, 2019 By Marvelous Mouse Travels

Thank you Nikki Kennedy for this post on Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa!

When you get to Hawaii you are exhausted, and even though you just want to sleep the 4-6-hour time change just doesn’t let you! When we stayed at Disney’s Aulani we used this extra couple hour of being awake the best way possible, with a delicious meal overlooking the sunrise over the ocean at ‘AMA ‘AMA! Could there be anything more gorgeous? 

I ordered the Captain Crunch French Toast – It’s vacation right? Calories don’t count?  It was so dang good I actually tried to make it when we got home! 

Of course, since we were in Hawaii we had to order the pineapple as well, soooo yummy! Be sure to schedule your reservations before you arrive on the Aulani website! These reservations go quick! Of course, if you book with me, I will take care of all of that for you!
