Distilled and carefully blended with raw turbinado sugar, Kona coffee distillate, Madagascar vanilla, cocoa essence, clove, cinnamon and citrus oils it adds a complex layer of flavors that is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
Fid Street Gin
The first gin ever created on Maui. Crafted with eleven botanicals, Fid Street is reminiscent of an aromatic fresh-cut floral bouquet with citrus dancing on the nose and a hint of forest air.

Shopping and Exploring Paia and Makawao and Upcountry Maui
With our Not Pau TourTM option, your tour ends when you say so, not when the schedule dictates. Go exploring for the day in historic Makawao Town, the birth place of the Makawao Rodeo and the Paniolo Cowboy. Our driver will stand by at your direction or accompany your group as your personal tour guide. There’s lots to see, from a glass blowing studio, to unique shops and boutiques, saddled by some of Maui’s best hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Perhaps you’ll want to drive down the coast to see the windsurfers and kite surfers in action skimming the surface of the waves like butterflies on shimmering glass, or head another 5 miles down the coast to Peahi to witness the power of “Jaws”, one of the world’s biggest waves.
