From September 1 through November 22, Four Seasons’ “Getaway” trips on Maui take you deeper into the island’s history and surroundings, while living in bespoke luxury. Here’s what’s included.

The “Getaway” schedule comes packed with activities like Maui Undersea Adventures, outrigger canoe paddling, oceanside yoga, and more.

The former takes place at the newly reopened Ferraro’s Restaurant & Bar, with Champagne Laurent-Perrier on offer. The latter happens at DUO Steak and Seafood, with Darioush offering several vintage bottles.

Four Seasons Resort Maui General Manager Ben Shank commented: “We look forward to welcoming guests to experience all the extras we have planned this fall. The team has put together a thoughtful calendar that offers something for everyone.” 

He continued, “Whether you’re seeking a deeper connection to the culture, culinary or wine experiences, or a light-hearted game of pickleball, our Getaway experiences provide opportunities for our guests to create lifelong memories, all with the backdrop of world-class Wailea Beach.”

Additional “Getaway” experiences include the following:

Hawaiian Star Stories: Noted navigator Kala Babayan Tanaka describes how Polynesian wayfinders used the stars, currents, and winds to journey around the Hawaiian islands.

Poke Pop-Up: Enjoy Hawaii’s classic dish, poke, paired with Maui Brewing Company’s craft beer. 

Sunrise Photo Walk: Join award-winning fine art landscape photographer Scott Reither for a 90-minute interactive photography class while walking on the Wailea Beach path.

Coral Reefs 101: Maui Undersea Adventures leads an onshore class and snorkeling adventure while teaching you how to protect the ocean ecosystem.

Forget Wailea: Why The Ritz-Carlton Maui Is the Perfect Escape on the Island’s Quieter Side
Ritz Carlton Maui

During my recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, I discovered that some of the best parts of a Maui vacation don’t require a packed itinerary or even leaving the resort. From meaningful learning experiences about how the land connects to the culture to dining experiences highlighting locally sourced ingredients, this luxury property offers a true escape and a reminder of how important it is to slow down.

As “slow travel” rises as a trend, it’s easy to see how resorts like The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua fit right into a slow travel itinerary. Though you may hear more about vibrant resorts in busy tourist hotspots, here’s why an escape at this resort on the island’s quieter side might be in store.

Architecture, Building, Campus

Austin has a way of filling every hour. Breakfast tacos lead to a brewery, which leads to Sixth Street, which leads to you wondering at 1 a.m. why your feet hurt. So when my best friend and I planned a quick getaway, we did things a little backward: we started with two nights of doing gloriously little at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa, then headed into the city.

Best decision of the trip.

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Ranching is a whole lifestyle with its own culture, fashion, and quirks, and it’s the kind of life that’s hard to acclimate to if you haven’t grown up with it. That said, the modern cowboy is incredibly fascinating to me, and it was a real treat to meet the greatest cowboy in the world himself, Dale Brisby, to pick his brain on what life is like on the ranch. 

Representatives from Can-Am invited us all out to dinner, and I was immediately struck by how authentic Dale Brisby was. He shared so much about ranch life and rodeo that it felt like drinking from a firehose. Learning from him brought me up to speed, just in time for the PBR Rattler Days event.
