Biggest mistake I made was on our second trip to Maui. Do not plan TOO many activities that will take up a bunch of "windshield time". Do enough activities to make it worthwhile but be sure to enjoy the relaxing island vibe. Too much driving is less time for relaxing.

My wife is incapable of planning a relaxed vacation. She *thinks* she is planning a relaxed vacation, and then we end up with 2 activities a day every day. Last time we went to Maui, I made her not schedule anything half the days, and that worked out perfectly. One day, we just played at the beach and got lunch at Okazuya Deli. That was all. It was the best day of the vacation.

I'm a concierge on the big island and the top two mistakes I see guests make are over scheduling themselves, and not leaving time to travel to the sites they want to visit. When people have three days of tours booked in a row, why are you staying at a luxury resort with a resort fee? When they ask to see a waterfall or the volcano, but are unwilling to drive 1.5 to 2 hours one way from the Leeward side...it's a big island, it takes time to reach the tropical side. The happiest travelers enjoy the resort and nearby beaches for 2/3 of their time, and execute a well planned daytrip, manta tour, our scenic drive for the other 1/3.

Our biggest mistake on our last trip was underestimating the power of the ocean. My husband took my two kids (10 and 7 years old) out with a boogie board. They were quickly swept out and could not get back to shore. Thankfully a kind man with a surfboard jumped into the water and rescued them one by one as I stood helplessly on shore watching. It was terrifying! We’ve been to Hawaii several times before on vacations and haven’t had any problems. I think it gave us a false sense of security. Lesson learned for sure.

I'm a frequent world traveler. My advice on the jet lag is to pre-adjust yourself. You want maximum productivity (or relaxation time) away. If you start 3-5 days beforehand on the destination time you can greatly reduce the acclimation time.

Good timp! I have trouble adjusting, but I figured out that I can make up for it by taking lots of little naps, and eventually I even out.

@@glittykitty1 Move yourself towards the new time zone before you depart. For example, if going east, start getting up and going to bed earlier and earlier until you're on the new time zone time for about 3 days before you go. Do the opposite for going west. That way your internal clock is on the destination time zone before you go. Jet lag will be far less bad.

Parking at beaches can be painful, so start your day early - thinking you can have a sit-down breakfast and hit the road at 10 am and drive to the beach will not be beneficial, besides, you may have to pay for parking and you may have to try and retry a beach. My favorite is 69 Beach Big Island, early morning or around lunch - great for snorkeling and swimming - quiet black sand beach.

These are all amazing tips. My wife and I got back from our honeymoon in Maui about three months ago. From the moment she said “yes” to my proposal, I started researching various honeymoon destinations. A month later, after watching a few of your videos, we decided on Maui-the activities and vibes from your videos matched what we wanted our honeymoon to be like-particularly the overnight trip to Hana (we love a good road trip!). I then sorted through all of your videos and watched everything related to Maui in great detail-multiple times! I think 90% of our honeymoon activities and restaurants came from suggestions in your videos. I’m sure you hear it all of the time, but THANK YOU, thank you, thank you! You guys have amazing and wonderful suggestions! I don’t think our honeymoon would have been half as memorable without so many amazing suggestions! Now, for what we learned… a mistake to avoid. Take some time to relax! We were coming from the east coast, so to get the most out of our visit to Maui, we took the earliest flight out of Savannah to Maui and the latest flight back home. In all, we had 7 full days, a half day after arriving, and a half day before leaving. Because we thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I crammed many of the amazing things your videos have covered into our visit. I didn’t want to regret missing something amazing. Sunrise on Haleakala, a day and a half roadtrip to Hana (with highlights at Twin Falls, Wai’anapanapa State Park, and the Pipiwai Trail), sunrise snorkeling at Molikini Crater, a sunset dinner cruise, a luau at the Feast at Lele, checking out the shops in historical Lahaina, farm tours (pineapple, coconut, chocolate), a special dinner at Mama’s Fishhouse, a doors off helicopter tour with Air Maui, lunch at Duke’s Beach House, shakes at the Burger Shack, seeing the Nakalele Blowhole up close, jumping off of Black Rock, ziplining at Kapalua Ziplines, visited beautiful Kepaniwai Park, had a Mai Tai at Monkeypod, used the GyPSy Guide app across the entire island (it was a lot of fun and very informative)… oh goodness, there’s even more, but those were the highlights! I even built in a “makeup” day in case weather forced us to reschedule or if we wanted to do something we didn’t account for. I spent the better part of 6 months planning everything-researched AirBnBs/hotels and car rentals (we went through Turo), made reservations for everything (as suggested), and used Google Maps to calculate drive times between activities and meals to ensure we had enough time to commute to everything. And in the end, we did a LOT, and we had an amazing, memorable time. But with everything we did, I think we forgot to relax! Quite frankly, I’m surprised we were able to fit in as much as we did. Luckily, the weather was very cooperative-barely a drop of rain, even on the Road to Hana. We have since vowed to come back to Maui (maybe as a major anniversary trip) and make it a bit more relaxing. We want to visit Kauai too (that was our runner-up honeymoon destination), so I’ll have to take my own advice when we visit that island. So our lesson-a mistake to avoid-is don’t over-do it. Relax. Soak in the Hawaiian vibes. If you want to do as much as possible, plan a longer trip. If you can’t afford a long trip just yet in your life, plan to come back (like an anniversary trip). There’s too much to see and do in a short visit. I’m glad that I was able to convince my wife to stay more than 5 nights, but even 8 nights wasn’t enough. I blame you guys-your videos are far too informative-you make everything look too enticing! LOL Thank you Erica and Jordan for your amazing work!

my fiancé and i are planning our honeymoon now and we’re also choosing hawaii. we’re lucky to be able to do 14 days so we decided on 7 days on o’ahu and then a 7 day cruise to visit all the other islands. hawaii has always been our bucket list vacation and since we’re coming from the east coast as well idk if we’ll ever get to go back so my plan is to use the days we’re in o’ahu as our relaxation days since we have a full 7 days there so we have time to just chill and then the more activity driven part of our trip will be the cruise portion, we are going to be up early for the road to hana but luckily the ship overnights in maui so we won’t have to rush through it. i felt like doing 1/2 on land and 1/2 by cruise is a good way to get the most out of our trip bc we might never be able to make it back again

@@Maggy776 I did use AirBnB. I did a lot of research, compared prices, compared amenities and other nice-to-haves (was it oceanfront, did it have air conditioning, was there a washer and dryer, etc.), and I think my biggest lesson that I learned (or wished I had known when I was planning) was to book a place closest to where you are planning most of your activities. I had no regrets about the place I chose... It was an amazing price, the hosts were very accommodating, it was beautifully decorated with island decor... But it was in south Kihei, and while that is a pretty nice area (very close to the ritzy resort area of Wailea without the resort prices), we spent over half of our time on the northwest coast (up around Lahaina, Ka'anapali, and Kapalua), so we wasted a lot of time driving. I knew we would be all over the island, and I thought Kihei would be a good compromise. Ma'alaea might have been the most centrally located place, but it seemed like a very quiet town, and other than a sunset dinner cruise, we had no plans there. We had a sunrise snorkel adventure out to Molikini Crater, snorkeling around Turtle Town, and some dining around the Wailea area, but we were far busier on the northwest side of the island. We had a luau, several farm tours, zip lining, and many lunch and dinner plans all on the northwest coast, so we should have stayed up there. We went in late October when travel is usually the lightest, and we still spent about 30 minutes driving one way from south Kihei to Ka'anapali. The only other piece of advice... Book your dining at least a month out. We used OpenTable to book tables at oceanfront restaurants around sunset almost every night, and it never got old! It's so beautiful! Many of the places The Hawaiian Vacation Guide recommends are on OpenTable. We saw a lot of people putting their names on the waiting list for tables, and we walked right up and got great tables with great views at amazing restaurants. A bit of planning goes a long way!

My wife and I generally spend about half of our Hawaiian vacations relaxing (we're currently on our third trip this year). Since we're both in our sixties, we need recovery time after our excursions. We know that whatever we miss out on during a given trip can be done instead on the next trip (living in L.A. is convenient for hopping over to the islands).

Jet lag is a huuuuugggge advantage. Honestly it helps you get out and enjoy everything while tons of others chill in their resort or condo. One thing in our many trips to the Islands is that we have packed less and less. We are generally in a few bathing suits, maybe something nice for a luau or dinner. Anything else, if we need it...we can find it there. The benefit of Hawaii, though it might be a bit more expensive...they have everything there that you have at home, and some things even better like tons of reef safe sunscreen, beach toys, towels etc. Many times if you are doing an Airbnb, they have all that stuff at the condo or house. Another thing is recognize what type of vacationer you are. Many people love the resort life, shopping and eating with a bit of beach time. Others want to be out all day, hiking, snorkeling, biking, sightseeing etc. Each Island kind of lends it's self to the kind of vacationer you are. Kauai more outdoorsy and adventure as well as very tropical. Oahu Tropical, but alot more amenities, shows, cultural things, shopping, city type life. Maui, a good mix of the two, shopping, dining, adventure. A lot drier in major areas than you'd think...other than the Mountains, Iao Valley and the Road to Hana. I have yet to do the Big Island, but realize it's very big, so more driving...but every climate zone you can think of is there. Volcanos and newer reef is there as well. Love Hawaii....it's my favorite spot. I just got back from the Yucatan, Cancun, and Cozumel...and it was amazing. Stuff there I don't get in Hawaii...but I never felt relaxed, never quite got the Island vibe. Hawaii is till my spot.

We were on Hawaii back in May of 22. We crossed the Saddle road and saw a car flipped upside down off the side of the road. Nobody was in it so it had been there a little while. I wondered how that happened. A few days later, we were on our way back to Kona from Volcanoes National Park via Hilo, so we crossed the Saddle road again. All of a sudden a wave of extreme sleepiness came over me and it was a genuine struggle. I thought of the overturned car and had a pretty good idea how it happened. Jet lag can affect you for many days so be very careful about being out late.

Hi calista. Just saw your message and wanted to offer any help from someone who has lived on Kauai for nearly 20 years but traveled to Hawaii some 40 times prior. I then worked in tourism for over 10 years. So I have a pretty good perspective. Not sure how much you know of Kauai, but it’s nothing like Maui. I don’t get in the ocean here as I’m not a strong swimmer and unless in an area with a lifeguard, no one should get in the ocean here in my opinion. Anyway, enjoy the island! Aloha!

I love Hawai'i, and I have been there maybe 8 times in the last 10 years and have learned some things along the way to help my experience. I usually go between 2-4 weeks and divide my time between two islands. I've learned to check if where I'm staying has laundry facilities because that will cut down on how much clothing I need to bring. I also like to buy coffee over there, mostly from the Big Island, so I always go there last. I don't want to lug extra weight around any more than necessary. I also don't have to worry about going over budget on coffee and not being able to enjoy activities on another island.

I think a mistake is to underestimate how long it takes to get from place to place. Most of the roads are 2 lane, and can back up. Plan for that so you’re not feeling rushed and anxious! The first time I went up Haleakala, it was rainy/sleet and cloudy. The next time I went up, I almost didn’t go because of the clouds - but did. It was clear above the clouds and amazing. And 2 weeks ago, got to do the night time manta ray snorkel - it was amazing. :)

Watching this while traveling back from our first trip to Maui. Your videos and blog helped so much with planning. Thanks! Biggest mistake was try to save money on a rental car by reserving an older model “well maintained “ car from Aloha Rental. We were afraid it would fall apart. They gave us our money back though and we were able to get one from Hertz. If you plan on doing more than just chilling on the beach near your hotel you will do a lot of driving so it matters. Also I had a pretty balanced itinerary planned but we sadly had a lot of rain and mostly poor snorkeling conditions. We had to rearrange some plans to make things work better with the weather so I advise flexibility while planning. My husband lost his mask in the surf when trying to exit where there was a 5 foot shore break. Save snorkeling for calm waters! All in all it was a great trip though.

Great tutorial! Helpful Hawaiian words as far as correct pronunciation goes: HONO lulu, not HANA lulu. Hana is a very beautiful town on the island of Maui.....The 4 string instrument, (Ukulele) pronounced, OOH KOO Leh Leh, not You-Kah-Lel-Lee. This instrument was introduced to Hawaii by the very first wave of Portuguese immigrants in 1878. This word means, Jumping Flea, because of the fast fingering movements upon the fret board and plucking of the strings when played. Original Portuguese name for this instrument, Braguinha......Factoids: You know them as Flip Flops, in Hawaii we call them Slippers....Hawaii and Arizona the only two states with no daylight savings time.....Hawaii and Utah, the only two states with no form of legalized gambling not even lottery tickets.....Hawaii Five-O, Five-O meaning the 50th State and not just the detectives call numbers......Motorcycle enthusiasts, no helmet laws in Hawaii......In our many local restaurants, Saimin is actually Ramen, but in Hawaii we call it Saimin.....And please, do not turn your back on ocean waves, heed lifeguard warning signs, watch for rip currents, and the occasional sharks, especially around Maui waters. Sadly, the highest percentage of drownings are tourists related. BE CAREFUL! And most of all, Mahalo (thanks) for supporting our number one economy, the Visitor Industry. Visitors like yourselves are helping to keep our economy strong. So while here, please spend spend spend!..........Aloooooooooha!

Thanks again for another cool info video. I do all the planning and research for our trips to the islands 🏝. We rarely do tours unless it's the only way, like going to Halawa Valley on Moloka‘i or snorkeling at Napali coast. We bring our own snorkle gear and camelbacks with us. Also first aid kit. It's really expensive eating out all the time so getting a vrbo rental with kitchen is cheaper.

On Oahu, be sure to take traffic into consideration when trying to get to the sites you are going to see. It can take a very long time to get from Waikiki to Pearl Harbor during morning rush hour. Check traffic reports, leave early, get there with time to spare so you can walk around to see the historic displays. This holds true for getting anywhere that requires an appointed time for your visit.

I'm now close to 40 and heading back for the first time since with hubby and our 6 kids ages 3-15. Outside of what I typically know, I want to be careful being a large family. I debated staying at a resort or airbnb. Any recommendations for large families outside of Polynesian cultural center & pearl harbor(that's where we would take people when they visited us). I did a band trip in middle school to the big island so I'd like to go there as well, and wondering if the chocolate farm is worth traveling too if we do the other side of the island, seahorse farm and volcanoes park tour. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've reached out to a few friends still living there but none have kids hahaha so they aren't a huge help lol. I will be showing them where I grew up though!
