Heck yes. Kihei Cafe on Maui has some of the best breakfast/brunch options in the state. It's a great mix of traditional breakfast offerings with options to add some Hawaiian flavoring. We're also big fans of the island's food trucks. As much as we love a nice sit-down restaurant, sometimes you just want a good sandwich with some fries and a coke. The food trucks on Maui offer terrific quality at a fraction of restaurant prices.

100% agree with this. Wife, son and I went to one fancy chain restaurant, bill came to like $200 canadian. Food wasnt bad but wasnt anything to write home about. Food trucks, kono’s, dukes, teds and so many more little restaurants and so many more have much better food for alot less.

My brother lived on Maui before we visited for the first time, here were his best tips: 1. Slow down, leave every stress you have from the Mainland behind, Hawaii can change you 2. Aloha and Mahalo go a long way when paired with a "shaka" 3. Find the small mom and pop spots to eat, shop etc...local business, supports local families 4. Take your time, the speed limit is low for a reason, so many amazing things you will miss if you are in a rush Thanks again for another great video!!

None of that is real nobody has to do any of that. What are you even talking about? You do not want to show up here and start saying Aloha mahalo and throwing shakas it’s weird. Mom and pop spots are pretty lame and will rip you off. There is nothing to see here but rats cockroaches and fat people on disability so there’s no reason to drive slow.

Just to add to learning something about the culture, I think it is really rewarding to consider that the ground you walk on, the trail to a waterfall, the ridge line, the view… everything holds almost a sacred mystique. Please pause and consider the presence of those who were there before you. The land mass is relatively small, so all of those tourist areas of today hold cultural significance, even if there is no sign referencing it.

You guys made planning my Honeymoon (May 2021) to Maui so easy! The wife and I had a lovely time. My biggest tip is to leave some extra time in your schedule because you will find something you want to do that you didnt plan for. We thought that upcountry was only going to be a quick drive through, turns out the wife and I love the breeze/temps/aromas so much that we planned an entire afternoon up there just lounging around. One of my best decisions was to keep a light schedule and take our time soaking it all in.

Hawaii is literally paradise on earth. My wife and I have been visiting Maui the last few years, and are planning on visiting my cousin who is currently living in Kauai this season. Going to Maui was the only time I really didn't want my vacation to end, and highly considered just staying there forever. I fell in love with the island, and found my Aloha on my last night on our first visit there. I can't wait to return again. Mahalo 🤙🏽

We travel to Hawaii a lot from California and we have a 4 year old. The thing I always recommend to people is: consider getting a condo instead of a luxury resort, especially if you are traveling with family. You can get a condo with multiple bedrooms (a must--our daughter needs her own room), a full kitchen, laundry in unit or on site, free parking, free wifi, and no resort fees. The kitchen is another must for us, so we don't always have to wonder where to go to eat. It's nice to just have a bagel, fruit, and coffee for breakfast on the patio facing the ocean, and most condo resorts have BBQ grills by the pools or beach. We always hit up Costco when we land on the islands to stock up on food and drinks for our stay. Having a kitchen to make at least half of our meals during our stays saves us money that we can spend on excursions and activities.

Helpful idea when packing for Hawaii: bring more bags. You’re going to leave with your weight in souvenirs, twice if you’re Asian because your relatives and aunts who actually aren’t related to you gave you vacation allowance. Think of Russian nesting dolls: pack the essentials into a small bag, then pack that into a larger carry-on-and then a larger one if it’ll fit. Yes, you have to pay for extra bags at the airport on the way home, but it beats the shipping rate and the wait.

There are few guarantees in life, but one of them is this: if you want to see humpback whales, go to the leeward side of Maui between January and mid-March. Seemingly every humpback in the Pacific travels through that channel between Maui and Moloka'i/Lanai during this time. Tours during this season often guarantee sightings, or you can even just plant yourself on a west-facing beach and start counting the spouts and occasional breaches that you'll see from the land. (This part is less of a guarantee, but there's even a good chance of seeing mothers and calves during that time of year and in that location.)

We went to Oahu back in August of 2021 and it was amazing! I made sure to only book one or two experiences per day so we’d have time to enjoy everything without being rushed. Also our first stop was the swap meet at the stadium on Saturday. That is one of the best places to go for all your souvenirs in my opinion. We even went back to the swap meet the following Wednesday to get more stuff. They also have fresh fruit and food trucks available

Since 2015 I’ve been to the islands every 6 months September and March/April I usually stay in Waikiki and Island-Hop to one island every visit (not yet to Lanai or Molokai) Stayed in Maui once for a week but rest of my vacations were in Waikiki. Book your car/hotel early for the hop-island and avoid the weekends stay. Stay in Hilo for the fastest Volcanoes trip-I did it once in a single day 5am in 9pm out back to Waikiki… First few visits were staying at beach hotels: Hilton Hawaiian Village, Outrigger Reef then I realized that by staying a block in (on Kuhio) saves you a whole lot of $$$ you can spend on different activities and places…I would only rent a car for a day or two at the most while in Waikiki just to go to the North Shore (Turtle Bay, Sunset Beach, Haleiwa, Banzai etc) or windward side of the Island (Lanikai, Hanauma Bay) or Electric beach on west side (lots of fish, dolphins and turtles to see here). Book a round trip shuttle From-To airport for about $45/person Pack very very light-used to have a check in and a carry on, now I only bring a carry on and a back pack…as I hardly wore most of the clothes and never put on my jeans or pants per se- Ross store in Waikiki is your best friend for some swim trunks and shirts if you need extras! Leonard’s Malasadas is a must try-at least once-go in very very early like 5-5:30am on Kapahulu Ave or if you head on towards Hanauma Bay they have a mobile truck by the Walgreens on the 72 highway Visit the local’s hot spots for freshest Poké and seafood or the Foodland market has great on the go before beach time poke or ahi or tako or smoked ahi etc. can’t type anymore on my cell haha lots more to have though

We just got back from Maui, to the cold and snow in Toronto a week and a half ago. I'm not a happy camper. Experienced the Kona, wow that was something! Luckily we were in Kapalua, so not as much damage. This was our third trip and definitely not our last. Tips use, the local rental car companies. Not pretty, but they work, have AC and if you get in with your sand and wet bathing suit, it doesn't matter. Plus, your car doesn't look like a tourist car. Kimos is the one we always use. If you are coming from the east coast, you need two weeks minimum. Do not miss upcountry in Maui, beauty like I have never seen before, and cool towns. Local restaurants are the best! I agree, you need to book ahead. We booked our restaurant reservations and day trips a month ahead. Make sure you don't do back-to-back excursions. Leave a day in between just to chill. The ABC stores have cheaper, tasty food. Great for taking to the beach. We did Oahu as a day trip last time. I agree it's a good way to see Pearl Harbour and Honolulu. Whale watching is so worth it. I was in awe. We could see them breaching from DT Flemming beach, which is by Kapalua. If you want quieter and save some money, rent a condo. We prefer it. If you are Canadian, make sure you book your covid test before you arrive or soon after. I found it difficult to find a clinic to do it within the 72 hours before we left. It's an island, so not as many choices as the mainland.

Aloha! You pretty much nailed it….again. The best thing you can do is research each island and plan your trip accordingly. I used other KZfaq channels like On Hawaii Time for Kauai and 365 Hawaii for The Big Island. When on the island I like to use the Shaka Guide when driving around the islands. It’s like having a tour guide with you. Thanks for another great video and hope to see the new addition to the family soon, mahalo!
@TheHawaiiVacationGuide2 жыл бұрын
Mahalo for sharing the tips! Shaka Guide does a good job at staying up to date and doing respectful travel around the islands. A local tour guide is great too! The baby will be out and about soon! She enjoys the beach but needs a lot of shade.

I'm gonna take some time to address something I'm very familiar with, hiking. Actually, I should say I'm actually more familiar with rescuing stranded/injured hikers. I can't stress these things enough: Find out from someone in Hawaii which trails are even legal to hike. Also, find out from the locals which trails are considered easy and which are considered difficult. If you plan to hike, make sure you let someone know which trail you are on and where you parked your car, and what time you plan to finish. Bring more than one cell phone if you have it (at least one per person in your party), fully charged. Make sure you have water/snacks. Stay hydrated. Wear comfortable/functional attire. Don't try to hike with high heels or in a dress. Yes, we've had to rescue people dressed like this SMH. Know what time it gets dark. Don't start a hike late in the afternoon and not expect the sunlight to run out on you. This is a very common mistake. Bring along signaling devices such as a flashlight or whistle, just in case. Stay on marked trails. Don't wander off and get lost. Respect the land, the locals, and the customs.

I made the mistake of trying to do too much in a 3 days 4 nights stay. It was only in oahu but me and my girlfriend booked something to do everyday we were there and it was exhausting!! Going again in 1 month to maui for 6 nights and and this time i intend to try to not do something everyday, i plan to have some days of relaxation and taking it easy in the resort and beaches (and shop around the area where the resort is)

This may be a dumb question but what do you do with your stuff (Wallet, phone, and car keys) while you’re at the beach and in the ocean snorkelling and swimming? I just don’t want my stuff to get stolen!
@TheHawaiiVacationGuide2 жыл бұрын
we get asked that a lot. You can get a lockbox for your car key, dry bag for valuables, or have your neighbor watch your stuff. Theft isn't as bad as the articles say it is but can happen at the popular beaches.

Love this video! I have been a subscriber for about a year... And you all have helped so much in planning our trip. We are spending 7 nights on Maui and 6 on Oahu mid March. My biggest bucket list item is the whales so the entire trip has been planned around that. I do have a question that hopefully you guys can help with. I am a large girl with somewhat limited mobility. I'd love to swim in a waterfall but haven't been able to figure out the one with the easiest access. I've watched all your videos plus countless others... And am leading towards Waimea Falls on Oahu or Twin Falls on Maui. Which of those do you think is the easiest access or are there any nice places with easier access you would recommend? Anyone familiar can chime in! I'd greatly appreciate any advice!!
@TheHawaiiVacationGuide2 жыл бұрын
Aloha Chrissy, thanks for subscribing for the past year and following along on our adventures! You have picked two good options. Erica and I think Waimea Valley is your best option. They will provide a life jacket and have people there to help. There are walks to climb over when entering but take your time. It is a picturesque place to go for a swim. Plus Waimea Valley is an experience and is a Hawaiian non-profit. Stay for the Tao luau as it is the best luau on Oahu. The farthest falls, the actual Twin Falls, is also easy access but the walk there can be slippery and muddy.
