I was driving to work last Friday, early before the sun was up, but from the clouds, I could see it was going to be one of those lucky days to be one of the ones at the top of Haleakala that day.  I texted to Phil (hands free of course) to go out and…

People often ask me what the best time to visit Maui is.  The correct answer, like many other questions, depends on who is asking, and what their interests might be.  If you are interested in seeing whales, then the answer is definitely winter.  The whales begin arriving around early December and whale season officially starts…

https://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lava2.htm We are having many inquiries about traveling conditions in Hawaii during the current volcanic activity on Hawaii Island. As it stands today, most of the Volcano National Park is closed.  All commercial air tours are cancelled, as are the van, biking and hiking tours. The remainder of the island is completely open and safe…

Now that we have the van on the road, I have been working on an itinerary of things to do here on Maui that are accessible for you.  Keeping in mind that there are variations in abilities, I have compiled a list of activities that are also of premium quality and that give everyone the…

We had the great fortune to meet Shauna Petrie and Dave Krook as our first guests of Boogie on Wheelchair Vans! They are a delightful couple and allowed me to tag along for a full day adventure so that I could just make sure everything worked correctly, and of course to get some great photos…

We got to pick up our new Toyota Sienna Genesis today!  It’s all shiny, and it looks kinda macho because of the upfit for the power ramp. The beefed up suspension gives it a more muscular appearance, compared to the standard van. So we are getting it washed up, geared up, inspected and registered! But first,…
