Destination Resorts Hawaii, the largest provider of luxury vacation rentals in the prestigious Wailea and Makena resorts on Maui, is offering the Honua Makuahine (Mother Earth) package that includes:

• five nights lodging
• a complimentary Dollar rental car
• free parking and a $250 carbon offset per booking

*The offer is valid April 1 through June 15, 2008.

**Package rates begin at $1,080 based on lodging in a one bedroom condominium. Prices vary depending on the unit size and guests can choose up to a three bedroom vacation rental.

***Carbon offsets lower the carbon footprint (or emission) of travelers. In part, carbon emissions are blamed for global warming. To help balance the carbon emission of a trip to Maui, DHR is purchasing a $250 carbon offset for each Honua Makuahine vacation package purchased. The $250 credit offsets the equivalent carbon emissions of three roundtrip flights from the West Coast to Maui. The credit is purchased through a non-profit organization called Rainforest 2 Reef that will plant $250 worth of trees. A carbon offset certificate will be issued upon arrival.
