Tip #10 for traveling to Maui: We heard this often from local residents. Refrain from asking your servers, your bell men, or anyone you interact with about the fires, if they lost a home, or a loved one. Assume everyone you interact with on West Maui, and all of Maui, were affected. As you are headed to Maui, start with our FREE Maui Travel Guide: thehawaiivacationguide.com/maui-travel-guide/

My wife's sister used to live on Moui....their first house burned in the Lanina fire. Me, I sailed there once from San Diego on my schooner and spend a month in the roadstead and two months in the harbor....a rare acheivement in the 70's as a cruising boat was only allowed a month per year on any particular island. So I got December in '75 and Janurary in '76. Everything I enjoyed about Lahina Town burned to the ground....except the Banyon tree. I used to be a fireman.....the first fire that threatened Lahina was extinguished...but the officers did not post a fire watch, returned to the station and the Town is history. Shamefull. -Veteran '66-68

Excellent video! I'm a Molokai resident who spent three nights early this week at the Sheraton in Ka'anapali. All of us who love Maui and love Hawaii need to do all we can to help Maui recover from last year's Lahaina fires. Thank you for being such fabulous cheerleaders for our beloved Maui!

Awesome video guys, we appreciate all the support and awareness you bring for folks to visit. All (4) local commercial shopping centers I use to manage in Lahaina are burned down, gone, but not our aloha spirit. Our small businesses definitly need all the help we can get from tourists to inject capital in our society that is slowly but surely rebuilding; our families depend on it. Your video makes me want to visit Maui and I live here. Aloha and Maui No Ka Oi.

We had the upper falls all to ourselves! Thanks for all your wonderful Maui suggestions! They were SO helpful. We will definitely get your itineraries for own our next island adventure!

My husband and I have been to Maui with my parents and stayed at The Fairmont. I had also been to the Fairmont another time before that. We want to go back just the two of us, but the Wailea resorts are just too expensive for us. We have found a lovely condo in Kihei near Kam beaches and another one in the Napili area. We are torn on where to stay!!!

@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Месяц назад

We love Napili and it is a good way to support West Maui right now by staying up there. Kihei is more walkable which is nice. Yes, Wailea resorts are not dropping prices even with less folks visiting the island.

I don't "do" water submersion in deep water haha, so what are the options to see some of the water features without snorkeling? Kayaking allow to see at least some of the ocean wildlife? Looks like the glass-bottom boat tours are closed during fire covering, so not sure of my options. Thanks for all the great info!

@TheHawaiiVacationGuide 4 месяца назад

Yes, the Atlantis and ReefDancer were lost during the fire. You can do an Atlantis tour on the Big Island and Oahu. A kayak trip is a good option for you. This one is our favorite as it is whale watching and there are a lot of turtles. thehawaiivacationguide.com/activities/maui-kayak-snorkeling-and-whale-watching-tour/

Love your Hawaii content, it's helped us plan a friends trip to Maui in 2 weeks! I was hoping you could settle our debate we have going on with how early we need to leave for the sun rise at Haleakala. We are staying in Kaanapali North Beach area, and I was thinking around 3:30am. What would you recommend? Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.

@TheHawaiiVacationGuide 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! Sunrise is at 7am, you need to get there an hour before or more, 2 hour drive, a friend wakes up slow, so 3:30 is a good target for departure. Here is our article on it: thehawaiivacationguide.com/haleakala-sunrise-or-sunset-when-should-you-go/

Be nice. When driving here, slow down and then slow down some more. Speeding and lane changes frowned upon. The Best Beach for Learning to Surf in Hawaii is Kalama Park in Kihei. Surf trucks or Surf school open daily. Best Early. Afterward surfing, try Kihei Cafe across the street for good breakfast. And only if you happen to have a death wish, take the back road to Hana or the back road to Kapalua. Be nice.

Hey! Do you have any videos specifically about places to eat? I once saw something called huli huli chicken (I may not have spelled it correctly) being sold roadside on a show and I'd love to try it. Do you know a specific road where it might be found? I'd love to try authentic Hawaiian foods and local favorites if possible. Also curious if there's farmer's markets or any good local farms to visit.

I used your guide when we went to Maui in July. Going back in October for a girls week and will try everything we didn't get to do the family. We stayed more north in Kihei, this time we will stay more near Wailea so we can walk to more places. We drove the road to Hana in July, I would suggest taking a tour instead. The drive is not enjoyable for the driver.

@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Месяц назад

Have a great girls week in October! That sounds like a perfect getaway. We like the area closer to Wailea, better beaches. Try to go out to Molokini Crater as some great tour companies leave from Kihei and Wailea.

Hey, I’m getting married in Hawaii through weddings of Hawaii and we’re doing a minimoon in Maui. We already have things booked, like flight and hotels, but we want to know more information about the west side of the island. Like what attractions are available, sunsets and more. If I can contact you for more information please let me know as our wedding is in June and if we need to make adjustments we will. Also I noticed some places are about an hour away(hotel 45mins from airport) would a rental car be needed?
