Mama’s Fish House

Mama’s – as the locals call it – is one of the most picturesque dining hot spots on Maui. Formerly an old Coconut grove by the ocean, Mama’s Fish House offers the freshest fish on the island. You can see fisherman deliver their freshest catch daily. The ambiance is great complimented by their uniquely eclectic  restaurant design. The exterior looks like a self made island thatch hut with intricate rain gutters throughout the restaurant. The interior is a cozy eclectic mixture of exotic wood furniture, oriental rugs, beautiful flower arrangements, local island art and varnished bamboo tiki bars. The food is “ONO” – DELICIOUS, although it might be a bit pricey. 

 Also, don’t forget to bring your camera as the coconut grove offers great memorable pictures. It is amazing how natural light gets the right amount of filtering so that beautiful pictures of Maui’s north shore can be captured, time after time.

 

Visit Mama’s and experience their Aloha spirit, fine island dining and take back beautiful pictures of your visit to Maui’s north shore.

Visit them to see what clean living brings to creativity and art.

Kihei, Maui

Kihei is a town located in the southwest edge of Maui. There are a lot of development occurring in Kihei. I vividly remember when roads compressed rough/rocks and that driving through Kihei took a long time. Now, Kihei is surrounded with shops, dining and mini malls. 
If you are in Kihei and would like to learn more about the marine life in the Hawaiian islands, visit Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, 726 South Kihei Road (808)879-2828. This facility provides education and promotes research about local humpback whale population. The sanctuary is also home to a unique array of marine plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.  
During February, Maui Whale Day is celebrated. This is a free, all-day festival in the Kalama Park in Kihei. This is Maui’s biggest and longest running celebration. A parade is also accompanied with this celebration.
