Noelani Condo 218

The beautiful creatures of Maui! #mauivacation #hawaiivacation #mauicondo @noelanicondo218 #noelanicondo218

Hawaiian Sea Turtles under a full moon. Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, Honu, are one of the most ancient species of the world and existed before dinosaurs. They live close to the shores of our Hawaiian Islands, feed primarily on seaweed, and swim up to 35 mph. And yes, you can see them at Noelani! Observation Guidelines: Treat this endangered species with respect. Turtles are generally not afraid of people. They are protected by law and it’s illegal to touch them. The best... recommendation is to stay back about 20 feet and not chase, scare, or hinder their movement. Thank you to Beat of Hawaii and Images by Liz for sharing.

Last evening’s sunset from lanai of Noelani 218! Special!

Beautiful garden snails and double rainbows.

Signs posted on Maui beaches. Information to seriously consider when purchasing sunscreen. This is affecting oceans everywhere.

To our friends of Noelani 218: Happy New Year! May 2019 evoke tenderness for the past, courage for the present and hope for the future.

The sky put on a magnificent show the other night. Thanks, Peter Crawford, for capturing nature at its finest.

Nice surprise at our cove. A beautiful Hawaiian Monk Seal (endangered species) and a Green Sea Turtle hangin’ loose on da beach!

Last evening the turtles enjoyed the sunset at Noelani 218 with us.

We had fun visiting Surfing Goat Dairy at the foothills of Haleakala and sampled a variety of very tasty goat cheeses and chocolate truffles.

We don't post much, but please know you are important to us. Please stay safe and healthy! This, too, shall pass and we will be here for you. And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, i...n the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed. -Kitty O’Meara See more

Hawaii is literally banning sunscreens to protect its coral reefs.
