Watching Butterflies, West Coast Scenic Spots, and Goats that Surf
I needed an itinerary for today because there are some tour time "hard points" I had to fit in:
9:10 am - Up and gone from the condo.
9:30 am - Arrive at Maui Butterfly Farm for the 10:00 am tour (leave around 10:50 am)
At the following Scenic Stops, plan on about 10 to 15 minutes per stop
11:00 am - Arrive at Launiupoko Beach Park
11:25 am - Stop at Papalaua Wayside Park (stop to skip if running behind)
11:40 am - Stop at the Papawai Scenic Lookout
12:00 pm - Back at the Milowai Resort for lunch
1:00 pm - Leave condo for Surfing Goat Dairy
2:00 pm - Take "Daily Casual Tour" at Surfing Goat Dairy​
