Another winter activity - skating on Maui!

Really? Skating on Maui? You bet! You've got two options.

The first is a brand new ocean-front hybrid skating rink offered by the Westin Ka'anapali. Hybrid? Yes - as in, don't bother bringing your toque and mittens. It's a 1000 sq ft rink with a synthetic polymer surface that is finished with a natural glide so you can use real skates on it. It will be open for a limited time only - starting today (November 29th) til January 1st, Monday to Friday 4-9pm, weekends 1-9pm. The cost is $15/hour and yes, rentals included (just in case you didn't pack yours). Check out this Maui News article for more information.

Your second option is the Maui Inline Skating Rink at Kalama Park in Kihei. This is open to the public Wednesdays 6-8pm and Saturdays 6-9pm. The rink is right next to the ocean, depending on when in the year you go, you could watch sunset from here (in the summer when the sun sets a bit later - our current sunset is about 5:40pm or so). Skate rentals are $4, admission is free.
