Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger is offering his breathtaking 5,000-square-foot estate in Haiku for $4.888 million.

Island Sotheby’s International Realty agents Rob Shelton, R(B) and Cynthia Warner, R(B) are the listing agents for the founding member of the rock band, who chose the home because of its premier oceanfront location nestled in a quiet, private neighborhood.  

The rockstar founded Nickelback in 1995 with his brother, the group’s lead singer. Since then, they’ve produced nine albums, which include hits like “Rockstar” and “How You Remind Me.”

There are sweeping ocean views visible from the open living spaces and breezy lanais of the exquisitely-designed home, while screened in porches add another 866-square-feet to this

It’s summer in Maui, but there’s lots to do on island besides just the usual beach days.

From island’s Friday night town parties to cultural festivals, we’ve got you covered. Here are five activities that are a must do in the summer of 2018:

Waʻa Kiakahi Canoe Festival

From June 1 through June 3, Ka’anapali will be home to the 14th annual Waa Kiakahi, an event celebrating the history and proficiency of crews who sail traditional Hawaiian canoes. Stop by for canoe races, demonstrations and to ride in one yourself.

Friday Night Town Parties

If you’re on Maui and it’s Friday night, that means there’s a party somewhere. Sponsored by Maui County, the island’s town parties are held on four Friday evenings every month in different communities

Sometimes “going green” can seem like it might take a lot of money and work.

But there’s much more you can do that doesn’t involve a hefty price tag that comes with installing photovoltaic panels or buying a hybrid car. Instead, you can reduce waste, limit toxins and make your home healthier just be following a few of these tips:

1. Put down the paper towels: Change up your paper towel habit to reduce waste by using cloth napkins and rags for the dirtier jobs.  

2. Reduce, reuse, recycle:  Make sure you have a system in your kitchen that makes it easier to separate recyclable materials from the non-recyclables. Everyone in your home will be more likely to recycle if they don’t have to walk outside to the recycling bin each time

Maui locals may have noticed something new out of the water. And Island Sotheby’s International Realty agent Karla Aguera’s husband is behind it.

Alex Aguera, a former professional windsurfer, spent years tinkering with designs for hydrofoil boards for water sports ranging from windsurfing to kiting. But no one had ever figured out how to attach a stand-up paddle board, or SUP, to a hydrofoil, which would allow the large board to glide above the water.

“He just kept researching and designing and testing - and it was always something in the back of his head that he couldn't give up,” his wife, Karla, explained.

Whether you happen to be on vacation or live on island, Maui is the perfect place to celebrate and appreciate all the wonderful things moms do.

And fortunately for those on island, simply being on Maui makes it easy to make this Mother’s Day one of the best she’s ever had. From tours of flower farms to luxurious spa days, here are a few of our favorite ways to treat Mom this Mother’s Day.

Kula Lavender Farm

Nestled on the slopes of Haleakala, the Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm hosts an annual Mother's Day event where you can enjoy farm tours and all their delicious treats like lavender scones that they have to offer. Stroll through lush botanical gardens and breath in the relaxing fragrances that exude from every corner of this magical place.

As most of the world knows by now, Mt. Kilauea is certainly on a roll and Madam Pele is not in a very good mood to say the least!  Have you heard of the curse that Mt. Kilauea, our active volcano holds inside of her?  It is compliments of the Goddess of Fire: Pele.  It seems so harmless to want to take home a small bit of lava rock from the volcano on the Big Island, but you may want to read on…

It is said that the Fire Goddess Pele considers all of those rocks her children, and should anyone abduct one of her children, they will suffer any number of maladies.  It is a curse of bad luck, be it health, financial or emotional, some have said it had brought them ruin, and they mail the rocks back to the summit.  Piles of lava continue to arrive

Even if you live on Maui, sometimes you need to get away for awhile.

Fortunately, just 9 miles from Maui’s west coast, there sits an island where it feels like you’re going back in time. On Lana’i, there are no stoplights and just 3,000 residents, many of whom live in picturesque plantation-style homes.

Shipwreck Beach

For those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle, Lana’i is the perfect place to get away. Only 30 miles of Lanai’s roads are paved, but residents also have access to the luxurious Four Seasons Resort and two world-class golf courses — the Manele Golf Course and the Koele Golf Course.

From adventurous off-road trips to visiting historical sites, there are all sorts of unique activities to do while visiting or living
