@@HawaiiWalkingToursMaybe the ppl can use this & your other videos as "blueprints" to rebuild the town back to the way it was. I've never been there, bit they like to replace quaint buildings with modern ugly, cold, buildings. I hope the ppl have strong leaders, find strong lawyers, because they're going to get screwed by the government. Happens every time. :(
Thoughts and prayers to everyone in Maui battling the massive fires. So glad that this video exists to share the beauty of Front Street before all the devastation and destruction. Thank you for this.
Peace and comfort to you, your friends, neighbors, loved ones and acquaintances. For the millions who can only watch the news in great sadness and horror, we have we have you lifted in prayer. Whether you are religious or not, the loving wishes and vibes are strong your way. Hang tough 🤙🏼
This just makes me so emotional to watch. Maui is so special to me. It was a trip to remember. A trip of a lifetime for me and my husband. The people there are so genuinely nice. And now to see they’ve lost so much just breaks my heart.
As a former resident of Nu’uannu and never been, I’m very hurt for everyone there and I deeply regret not going in time ..God bless you guys there my heart goes out to Maui and everyone displaced 🙏🏾
My prayers and thoughts to everyone in Maui. My heart breaks for the people of Maui and all of Hawaii. Its heartbreaking and a terrible loss. Praying for Maui😢🙏🏻
Thank you for the video. This will sadly be a reminder how beautiful and lovely Lahaina used to be. So many fond memories of this lovely historic town.
Great video! It was made six weeks ago, just on time to preserve the memories of Lahaina. We’ve been there countless times and watching the devastation of that historic town is heart breaking. Watching the video brings some solace knowing that maybe some images can be used to rebuild something similar. Meanwhile, Prayers to all Maui residents and condolence for all the loss souls.
Thank you for capturing the beauty and essence of Historical Lahaina. It is truly heartbreaking to know it no longer looks this way. God willing they will rebuild again ♥️🤙🏽
Our family cannot control our emotion as we watched your video over and over. As I mentioned before, we recognized the beautiful shops, restaurants that we frequented last summer and a few summers ago. The least we could do is to 'round up' our friends and family to donate to the organization that the governor had mentioned. Lahaina town, our hearts are with you😓
Thank you for this video. It helps to see it the way I just did two weeks ago. I was born and raised on Maui and grew up in Lahaina. I remember when there used to be a Red Lobster, Planet Hollywood, & WB store. I remember climbing on the banyan tree and fort as a keiki (back when we were allowed to!). I remember hopping on those stumps in front of the Wharf, and jumping to try to reach every store front sign. I learned to surf right along the harbor at breakwall. I drove my bike down Lahainaluna to work at the Honolulu Cookie Company next to Lapperts. I parked right across from the wharf while working my shift at Crazy Shirts. I remember closing the store for a short break to catch the fireworks from the harbor with my parents. I took the ferry multiple times to Lana'i, and took boat rides out with the Pacific Whale Foundation. We went to the library often. My friends and I would cruise down the street, sometimes in a pickup truck bed or on a skateboard grabbing on the back of cars. I saw many movies at the theater in both the Wharf and at the shopping center that became the outlets. Longhis and Bubba Gumps were thriving, and we would close out the bar at Moose McGillycuddy's. I miss my home so much. It remains in my memories, but I physically can never go back there again. This place was everything to me and now it's gone.
Thanks for the amazing comments. We had no idea the impact this video would have on the community when we filmed it! I worked at crazy shirts front street in 07 and have some many great memories of the area. 😔 take care and Aloha!
I was there just three months ago, in May. I drove through Lahaina twice, along Front St. and this route. I recognize a lot of the businesses/shops. How could I ever know that in just a few months, the old Lahaina would be gone. Now I'm so glad I did get to experience it, but my heart goes out to the locals who have lost so much, and to all of Maui and Hawaii. But the Aloha spirit is strong and Lahaina will again rise from the ashes. We should help in any way we can!
I imagine this video will gains lots of views in years to come. Definitely should preserve a few copies of this video as it will become a historical time capsule. So sad to be saying this. Much love and hope to the beautiful town of Lahaina.
Was planning to go to Maui for a while now. So appreciative for this walking tour. So sad that fires have destroyed so much. Prayers going up for all who have been affected by this tragedy.
I just needed to see what it was again. Thank you. I couldn’t take watching the news anymore tonight. My heart goes out to all residents of Lahaina. Hawaii will always be my place of Ohana.
This is the first time I am viewing the landscapes of Hawaii. My heart goes out to the people of Hawaii. Praying for all who have been devastated by this tragedy. 🙏
Want to remember Lahaina just like this. Such a beautiful and special place. Got married here and celebrated at the Lahaina Grill. Love from California to all the natives and locals. xo
Sitting under the big Banyan tree, enjoying the shave ice I got from Down the Hatch across the street. All the while, roosters are cockadoodling around me. Thank you for the memories Lahaina town.
"One of those structures was longtime resident Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood‘s Maui restaurant Fleetwood’s. “MAUl and The Lahaina community have been my home for several decades,” the band co-founder wrote on Instagram on Thursday. “This is a devastating moment for MAUl and many are suffering unimaginable loss. Fleetwoods on front Street has been lost and while we are heartbroken our main priority is the safety of our dear staff and team members. On behalf of myself and my family I share my heartfelt thoughts and prayers for the people of MAUI. We are committed to supporting the community and those affected by this disaster in the days month and years to come.” "
Never having visited Lahaina (nor Hawaii), it makes me sad to see how beautiful this town was before it was devastated by fire. Thank you for showing us.
I was literally eating at Fleetwoods on Front St on the 4th of August. Then went back home to Australia on the 7th. It really blows my mind how lucky I was and to never take life for granted. If i had my vacation 1 week later instead, I would be caught in it and possibly dead.
Wow....this is how I'll always remember it. It's going to be so hard to recover from this tragedy. I mean, this was the tourist heartbeat of Maui. It's almost the same as if all of South Beach in Miami Beach caught fire and was destroyed. I'm sure that it can be rebuilt but it'll never be the same with the massive loss of all of those historic buildings.
Not easy to rebuild and older people usually can't afford it or have the emotional strength or physical strength to start over. When this happened in Oakland it changed the neighborhood because the old timers move on it took years to clear reinstall infrastructure and rebuild. Traditions are lost.
@@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd I imagine most people will sell out to developers. Those are really the only ones that have the deep pockets and staying power to put this back together again. I sincerely doubt that 10-20 years from now, Lahaina will look anything like what it did just a week ago.
Thank you for this tour. It's been years since I lived there. I had become large, and sophisticated looking. I am horrified over the destruction and loss of life.
This is a very special video. We have walked this many times as a tourist, but did not video.Thank You for sharing this wonderful video. Hope it will be returned to its original beauty. Praying for all the people and landscape to be returned as soon as possible.😢
Thank God you have this. I went in 1968 when none of the shops or restaurants were there. And a couple times in 1969. The Pioneer Inn was the place that had food and a little lodging. I was living on Oahu. Last time in Hawaii and Lahaina Lahaina was 1989. Like you I have the memories forever. And they will be passed down the generations. Get old pictures and put them in a place the locals can see. Praying for all of you and sending strength 💪 and love 💕🙏🤙
Prayers for all the people who have lost their loved ones, their homes, their businesses, their jobs. I just hope that they will be able to rebuild soon and bring back the glory of their beautiful place.
We are praying for you all, our hearts are broken for you.😢💔 We have many wonderful memories there and can only imagine the loss you are feeling. God be with you. Thank you for this video.
I will be back this is the place I love ❤ the people, lifestyle and all the shops the food, water trees, hotels, sand and the smells of the flowers. The Inn with bird at the restaurant. 🦜
It is very beautiful. The sea views will always be beautiful. I didn't know it was so beautiful. They have a chance to build even better and with fire breaks so that it doesn't spread like this fire. So sorry for all the lives lost. May they RIP.
We were in Hawaii for a month visiting all the 4 Islands last Dec 2022.We spent one week in Maui .Feeling so Sad . My prayers for all the People on Maui and Condolence for the families who lost their loved ones.Thanks for uploading this the video .This video is really a memory for every one.
Feeling heartbroken 💔 from Toronto . We were also in Lahaina last December, 2022 . It was a magical place . Thank you for this video . God bless the people of Maui , keep strong ! I hope you can rebuild soon .
So many familiar sights, sounds and memories, now gone forever. So sad. Thank you for sharing this awesome video and preserving a small piece of this lovely paradise for us to visit. Such a tragic loss. Prayers for all residents and especially for those families who lost loved ones. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
An amazing video and a beautiful tribute to the memory of Lahaina Town. Praying it will come back stronger and be rebuilt the way the people of Maui want it.
This video has become priceless now. My heart is broken for Maui and its people. If you been to Maui you know how special this island is. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish you all the best,p and lots of strength. Mahalo❤
My heart is breaking- I feel for the locals still remaining. I lived there on Luakini st behind the ABC STORE in 2002-3 .. it looked the same in the this video even tho I haven’t been back in 20 years- hard to believe it’s all gone. ❤🙏🌺
I keep rewinding parts of this great video and freezing frames along the tour of Front St, in an attempt to capture my memories of this wondrous place, and reminisce the time when I visited Lahaina back in May of 2018. I can’t believe it’s sadly gone now, like a beautiful fleeting dream. Thank you for sharing.
So sad, the fire that has destroyed this beautiful spot and taken so many lives. Thank you for this lovely film. Sending best wishes to you all at this difficult time.
I’m so happy that you shared this video. I have been watching through my tears grieving for what has been lost. In the end it’s buildings that can be replaced in a fashion but my heart goes out to those who lost their lives: they can never be replaced. Love and peace to Maui.
This is the most beautiful area I’ve ever seen. I took my wife to dinner for our anniversary years ago to Fleetwood’s on front Street and we are heartbroken that everything is now gone. We are praying for the families and souls of all those affected. 😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾
I lived there, right on Front Street, right next to Wharf Cinema Center and a couple other spots right behind Front Street, for all of 1998. An amazing year, one of the times of my life for sure. I had jobs at Wharf Cinema Center, Cheeseburger In Paradise, Moose McGillicuddy's, Kimo's, Lahaina Fish Co., Lahaina and Maui Princess dinner cruise boats, and Westin Kaanapaali Resort and O'Reilly's Steakhouse at Kaanapaali Golf Course. I was always busy and on-call and was able to work as much or little as I wanted My brother has lived there for 35 years and has been staying in Napili and working in Kaanapaali for the past 2 years so he and his areas are fine except for still being without power and internet. He undoubtedly lost some people in the fires that we both know but this is devastating for him and all the people there and everyone in the world who ever visited. My mom visited for a month every year for the past 20 years, right in Old Town, at Lahaina Shores resort. It wasnt damaged too much at all as it's made from brick and cement. My bro says to mail gently-used clothing to Lahaina Goodwill. I'm sending a couple of boxes to him directly and he will deliver and help disribute them, as well as staying put on the island to help any other way he can. He knows a ton of people and has been a construction worker for over 30 years as well as a star in local hospitality. I've never seen something like this happen to a world-class, world-famous vacation spot as well as a sacred historical area. And Ive never seen a place Ive lived at be destroyed. Unreal.
I have never heard of this town, but then again I only know so much about Hawaii. Although Chicago does have small Polynesian communities dotted around the city and suburbs. Prayers to Maui.
God bless, thank you for sharing the beautiful aloha spirit. I weep and appreciate this video more than words can express. Sending prayers of love and comfort, 🙏🏼✨🌈🌺🐬❤️
Born and raised on Maui, moved to Honolulu for high school, visited Lahaina many times. My heart just aches for this loss, and for the people who lived there, like my brother and his wife. Grief sucks!
Thank you for reminding us of this wonderful place. Hopefully they’ll be able to build back better, even tho, I know your hearts are gonna be hurting for years for the loved ones that you’ve lost. Prayers and blessings as you rebuild and keep moving forward. Don’t give up on life. You can make it!!!❤❤❤💔💖
Thank you for making this video. I watched all of it. It was a beautiful island town. Prayers to all the locals in Lahaina to hopefully rebuild their homes and businesses. God Bless them all. I’ve never been to Hawaii but i felt I did in your walk.
🙏💔 Soooooo Devastating!!!!!!!! Our Hearts, Love, Thoughts, Prayers, Hope, Comfort, Strength And Blessings Go To All That Were Affected By This Tragic, Devastating, Heartbreaking Loss Of Human Life, Loss Of One Of The Most Heartwarming & Beautiful Places, *LAHAINA*!!!!!!!! People Are Suffering In *MAUI*!!!!!!!! Thank You For This Video Of Front Street, Wow, Memories And Oh Such Beauty That Once Was But Always Will Be In Heart & Spirit... 💙In Loving Memory For All The Lost Souls who Perished... 💔🙏
What a nice place! So welcoming, relaxing and homely. It's sad that future tourists will not be able to see this anymore. Thank you for sharing. Love and prayers.
Thank you for helping to preserve this history. Your video may help in rebuilding. My thoughts are with those who have lost everything including loved ones.

Please don't ever take down this video. This place deserves to be remembered at its best.
Mahalo, it won't ever be taken down. In fact we want to post more videos to show the rebirth of this resilient town when the time is right !

I agree. Saving this.
The fire department didn’t respond to these fires..
@@robertlangen25 the firetruck was burnt to a crisp.
So horrifically sad that Lahaina and most of these buildings have burnt down. Thank you for sharing this memory!!
Thanks for watching. We are devastated. 😔
I was going to say the same thing. A real tragedy.
@@HawaiiWalkingTours So sorry!
Loved this town. Our hearts go out to all residents. Such a loss! I thank you for sharing.
So sad!
As a long time resident of Lahaina, thank you for documenting this brought back so many loving memories we all thank you for…🙏❤️

This just makes me so emotional to watch. Maui is so special to me. It was a trip to remember. A trip of a lifetime for me and my husband. The people there are so genuinely nice. And now to see they’ve lost so much just breaks my heart.
Mahalo for you comment 🤙
If you change the words to "me and my wife," these could easily be my exact thoughts. So sad.
Wow what a large place beautiful fantastic. Brings tears to my eyes to think it is all gone
💔😭
Praying for the people of Lahaina and West Maui. This video is priceless.
Mahalo
What a tragedy, my heart breaks for the people of Maui and all Hawaii, Prayers for you all

OBAMA WAS BORN THERE.
END OF PERIOD
What a heartbreaking, tragic loss, but I'm so grateful to have this video to remind me of how beautiful it was.
Mahalo. We are devastated.
So many are so sad for you all there and will be praying for you
As a former resident of Nu’uannu and never been, I’m very hurt for everyone there and I deeply regret not going in time ..God bless you guys there my heart goes out to Maui and everyone displaced 🙏🏾

I know it makes us want to cry ! ❤️
I'm glad that you recorded this when you did....now...it's just memories. :(
I know, it's so sad . I have so many memories of this place that will just be that.. memories that we will cherish forever. Mahalo ❤️

I was there just three months ago, in May. I drove through Lahaina twice, along Front St. and this route. I recognize a lot of the businesses/shops. How could I ever know that in just a few months, the old Lahaina would be gone. Now I'm so glad I did get to experience it, but my heart goes out to the locals who have lost so much, and to all of Maui and Hawaii.

My family has spent many happy days on Maui and in Lahaina . Heart breaking to see this awful fire and sadly the loss of life .
We are devastated. 😔

Not easy to rebuild and older people usually can't afford it or have the emotional strength or physical strength to start over. When this happened in Oakland it changed the neighborhood because the old timers move on it took years to clear reinstall infrastructure and rebuild. Traditions are lost.

Mahalo for the kind words!
Very sad 😔🌺RIP to Lahaina and the beautiful people who sadly lost there lives 🤙🌺💙
God has a beautiful plan for Lahaina..we pray that it can be rebuilt soon.🙏🙏
This video has become priceless now. My heart is broken for Maui and its people. If you been to Maui you know how special this island is. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish you all the best,p and lots of strength. Mahalo❤
Our hearts are broken as well. Mahalo for the kind words.
Mahalo for the beautiful tour🤙 Blessings to the families in Lahaina and West Maui🙏🙏🤙 We Will Rebuild and Keep Our Land🌺🤙
My heart is breaking- I feel for the locals still remaining. I lived there on Luakini st behind the ABC STORE in 2002-3 .. it looked the same in the this video even tho I haven’t been back in 20 years- hard to believe it’s all gone. ❤🙏🌺
Mahalo for documenting this wonderful walk. So wonderful to have these great memories.

I keep rewinding parts of this great video and freezing frames along the tour of Front St, in an attempt to capture my memories of this wondrous place, and reminisce the time when I visited Lahaina back in May of 2018. I can’t believe it’s sadly gone now, like a beautiful fleeting dream. Thank you for sharing.
So sad, the fire that has destroyed this beautiful spot and taken so many lives. Thank you for this lovely film. Sending best wishes to you all at this difficult time.
Mahalo 🙏
I’m so happy that you shared this video. I have been watching through my tears grieving for what has been lost. In the end it’s buildings that can be replaced in a fashion but my heart goes out to those who lost their lives: they can never be replaced. Love and peace to Maui.
Mahalo for your kind words. We shed countless tears with you.
This is the most beautiful area I’ve ever seen. I took my wife to dinner for our anniversary years ago to Fleetwood’s on front Street and we are heartbroken that everything is now gone.
We are praying for the families and souls of all those affected. 😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾
I lived there, right on Front Street, right next to Wharf Cinema Center and a couple other spots right behind Front Street, for all of 1998. An amazing year, one of the times of my life for sure. I had jobs at Wharf Cinema Center, Cheeseburger In Paradise, Moose McGillicuddy's, Kimo's, Lahaina Fish Co., Lahaina and Maui Princess dinner cruise boats, and Westin Kaanapaali Resort and O'Reilly's Steakhouse at Kaanapaali Golf Course. I was always busy and on-call and was able to work as much or little as I wanted My brother has lived there for 35 years and has been staying in Napili and working in Kaanapaali for the past 2 years so he and his areas are fine except for still being without power and internet. He undoubtedly lost some people in the fires that we both know but this is devastating for him and all the people there and everyone in the world who ever visited. My mom visited for a month every year for the past 20 years, right in Old Town, at Lahaina Shores resort. It wasnt damaged too much at all as it's made from brick and cement. My bro says to mail gently-used clothing to Lahaina Goodwill. I'm sending a couple of boxes to him directly and he will deliver and help disribute them, as well as staying put on the island to help any other way he can. He knows a ton of people and has been a construction worker for over 30 years as well as a star in local hospitality. I've never seen something like this happen to a world-class, world-famous vacation spot as well as a sacred historical area. And Ive never seen a place Ive lived at be destroyed. Unreal.
I have never heard of this town, but then again I only know so much about Hawaii. Although Chicago does have small Polynesian communities dotted around the city and suburbs. Prayers to Maui.
God bless, thank you for sharing the beautiful aloha spirit. I weep and appreciate this video more than words can express.
Sending prayers of love and comfort,
🙏🏼✨🌈🌺🐬❤️
Mahalo.
My heart breaks, again. So sorry. This will serve as a memory for us all.
Such a very valuable video, will never be this again. Thanks for sharing.
I was there in Feb. '22 and remember most of the shops/restaurants shown here.
Born and raised on Maui, moved to Honolulu for high school, visited Lahaina many times. My heart just aches for this loss, and for the people who lived there, like my brother and his wife. Grief sucks!
Grief does suck. I hope your ohana is doing okay.
Thank you for reminding us of this wonderful place. Hopefully they’ll be able to build back better, even tho, I know your hearts are gonna be hurting for years for the loved ones that you’ve lost. Prayers and blessings as you rebuild and keep moving forward. Don’t give up on life. You can make it!!!❤❤❤💔💖
Mahalo ❤️
Banyan trees make lovely shade and they’re beautiful
What a treasure this video will be to so many people.
We will cherish this video forever ❤️
Thank you for making this video. I watched all of it. It was a beautiful island town.
Prayers to all the locals in Lahaina to hopefully rebuild their homes and businesses. God Bless them all.
I’ve never been to Hawaii but i felt I did in your walk.
Mahalo! 🙏
Praying for Lahaina and all Maui ❤
