HOW MUCH MONEY???
 

We are a few days out before we leave for Maui for 7 days — Kannanpali Beach to be specific — and was curious to know how much money I should plan on spending. I know it is a very general question and could depend on a lot of variables, but I like estimates. I plan on taking $2,000. (some in cash). We have things planned (or plan on doing) snorkeling, Atlantis sub, Maui Ocean Center, the Old Lahaina, a massage, some free hiking and free beach stuff. We may be brave and do a helicopter ride or even ATV adventure. We don't eat at fancy restaurants - and we have a condo so I bet we will only eat out for a one or two meals a day. Any opinions?
ALSO - Is there a must see/do attraction that I am missing. We are busy bodies and don't really like to sit around very much. thanks!

Why take a lot of cash? A credit card is safer, and of use in almost any business place. I would think $200, cash would be plenty if you have one or two credit cards.

Here's a great sight for planning anything on Maui:

Just to give you some ideas:

Atlantis submarine - $80 per adult, $42 per child plus 6% tax

I don't know about the Maui Ocean Center, but the Sea Life Park on Oahu is $25 per adult and $13 per child.

Helicopter tours - ~$150 for 30 minute rides and $200 plus for longer rides.

Hope this helps.

Have a wonderful trip!
