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/
Good advice 👍
Thank you!
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! Andy McKane, 23 February 2024, Maunaloa, Hawaii.
Thanks for the comment Andy. We appreciate that from a Molokai resident.
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
Much love from the east coast of the mainland. Best of luck.
Thanks for the recommendation for Kehei Car Rentals. Love that additional way to support locally owned businesses.
They have good cars and good prices. I'm glad you are looking at renting local. Have a great trip!
Traveling to Maui for the first time with my sister in May! Can't wait to go and celebrate my 29th birthday 😊 Staying at the Ritz and Marriott resort hotels
Those are wonderful places to stay! Have a great time with your family!
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 just booked the sailing canoe for our honeymoon in October, thanks for the info!!!
Have a great trip out with Sage and crew!
Thx for sharing.
You guys put in a lot of time and effort in making the video.
WE LOVE MAUI! WE LOVE HAWAII so much we named our hotel in relation to Hawaii! LETS GOOOO!!!🤙❤️🏝️
I'm so happy that I found your channel! I can't tell you how much much I appreciate the geography lessons/maps in your videos! That's the way my brains operates when I'm planning a vacation so your videos hit the mark!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad the maps help. I'm the same way, I need to know how I"m oriented and where things are located.
Yes,
But I'm still overwhelmed, I knew nothing about Hawaii & just booked in Kauai.
I'm thinking I should have picked Maui 😢 a bigger island with more to do....
You guys are the best! Using the Wayfinder guide to plan our Maui trip in April!
Thanks for grabbing the itinerary!! Have a wonderful trip in April.
I’m so happy you guys made this video I’m going to Maui next month!!!
that is great to hear! Have a lovely trip to Maui.
Excellent video! Love how you break it all down! Thanks
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I love watching your videos. You both are always so sunny and full of great information. I purchased several of your Itinerary Guides and plan to put the Maui one to use this April. The others will have to wait till another trip, unfortunately, as we're only going to Maui. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and recommendations! 🥰
Thanks for grabbing our itinerary Anne! Have a wonderful trip in April to Maui! we have a lot more Maui videos coming out be then.
I’m really enjoying these videos and getting great information ❤
thanks so much Andrea!
Just had a wonderful Maui trip in early December 2023. Great tips to remember for 2024 and onward. Mahalo
Glad to hear you had a great trip. Thanks for supporting the local economy.
We did the Road to Hana all the way to Haleakala National Park this month (January) and loved it! We did Twin Falls on a separate trip and would advise people to get there late afternoon (midweek) and text them beforehand to check if all the trails are open. 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!
Thanks for sharing your experience! We also recommend Twin Falls as its own trip. They are great at communicating what is open at Twin Falls. Thanks for sharing that one!
Thank you so much for these reccs! I’m in Maui right now with some unstructured days during my trip and you put me on to the hula show at the south Maui gardens, sounds perfect!! Just got my ticket. Can’t wait to go!
That’s great to hear! Enjoy the show and the food trucks!
I was moving to Maui last January but my plans got set aside when my son landed in the hospital for seven months. I'm patient . My son is more importantthan my happiness b
😢hope he's better man
Dude, I love that shirt!

@@Jesuschristismysavior7 Yes
So happy I found your channel. Starting to plan our 25th anniversary and we want to go to Hawaii.
I'm glad you found us too! Explore our website for more info: thehawaiivacationguide.com/maui-travel-guide/
Excellent info.
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!!!
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.
Enjoyed so much watching this even before going to Maui!! I wish you guys went to other states/countries and made trip videos and shared your joy and passion like you do for Hawai :) Thank you!
Thanks so much! That means a lot. Check out this channel for helpful planning to other destinations: www.youtube.com/@YourGuidesAbroad
We are headed back to Maui in less than 3 weeks! Thanks for the tips!
Have a wonderful trip to Maui!
Aloha Jordan and Erica. Mahalo for sharing. Love videos.
Thanks for watching and for the lovely comment Joel!
So great.
most beautiful place to visit but the accommodation costs are insane
That’s my favorite to visit Maui
Traveling to Maui in 2 weeks. Great tips
Have a great trip!!
We discovered the Leilani Farm Sanctuary in Haiku. Loved it.
Thanks for sharing! We always go to Maui Animal Sanctuary in West Maui. We have heard good things about Leilani's.
Traveling tomorrow to Oahu and Maui from the east coast. Excited!! Following your tips n tricks
Have a wonderful trip to Oahu and Maui! Glad we could help with your trip planning!
Both islands are beautiful! Like maui more. First time?
@@natetruth6828 Yup 😃
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Thank you ❤️
@ruchikadutta8353 awesome you will not be disappointed! Wife and I are going to Maui January 25- February 2 again. Kaua'i is a cool island also really laid back grand canyon of the Pacific is cool. Suggestion don't do what we did the first time. We tried to see to much and was go go go. Supposed to be vacation. Now we pick 1 thing a day and go slow. Peace love and God bless 🙌 🙏
QUE BONITA PAREJA Y HASEN UNA MUY BONITA FAMILIA QUE ❤❤❤❤
Can you make a Gourmet food video for the big island? I’m going march 5th!
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.
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!
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/
You went at the same time as me lol
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.
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/
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Thank you so much for the info! I'll take a look at your article as well!
Hi!
Thoughts about a Helicopter tour? Have you ever done one?best affordable one? Open door? TIA!❤
Make sure you find a company with a good record. We talk about that here and provide recommendations: thehawaiivacationguide.com/best-hawaii-helicopter-tours/
You will almost definitely get car sick going around the curves on the road to Hana. Make sure to pick some white ginger to fix that.
I need to find another island similar to Maui tbh Lahaina being gone is such ass. Any suggestions?
Hello ~!
Is it easy to film whales with a drone?
Can you recommend spots for it? :) :) :) Thank you!
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.
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.
Heading to Maui last week of May with family of four two teenagers , we want to go sailing if possible, any recommendations? Staying in Napili
We do! Here is a performance sailing tour with 10% off. You can explore our tours section for more options on sailing and snorkeling. thehawaiivacationguide.com/activities/maui-sailing-tour/
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide thank you
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.
Thanks for watching. You can find huli huli chicken along the Road to Hana. We share other food experiences in this video th-cam.com/video/bEp-2M4K7Lw/w-d-xo.html
What is the weather like in April? Is it hot And good season to visit?
We have an article on that! thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaii-in-april/
We went to Maui in August and stayed in Kehei and it was amazing, we are headed back this November. We also hit Honolulu to visit Pearl Harbor. We hated Honolulu itself and won’t go back, this time we are taking a side trip to Kauai.
Enjoy our Kauai videos, we have a Kauai 2024 one coming out soon. We also have a things to do in Kihei video coming out too. Thanks for subscribing!

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?
Congrats on the wedding and honeymoon. We share West Maui travel updates below. Everything is open except Lahaina. We list sunset tours leaving from Kaanapali Beach on our site. We have West Maui things to do video coming out soon. If you want to explore Maui, then a car rental is your best bet. See our Free Maui Travel Guide article in our menu for more information thehawaiivacationguide.com/lahaina-maui-fire-update/

💥🤩
maybe ill return some day
Forgive me if this is a dumb question but planning a trip to Maui and I was wondering if through traffic is blocked at Lahaina. Thank you
That is a logical question. You will take the Lahaina bypass to go around most of Lahaina. You won't drive through Lahaina. The bypass opened around 2017 to relieve traffic through town.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide ok thank you...I really appreciate it.
Can you take the main highway from Wailea to kaanapali Beach?
Yes, the Lahaina Bypass takes you around most of Lahaina Town.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide thank you!
Have you guys seen the missing sand on Wailea beaches of late?
We’ve seen pictures! Kam beaches too. We are hoping it comes back soon.
We are going to Oahu this year instead of Maui... I just cant justify the money without Lahaina and the ripple effects :(
what about swimming at night with mantarays?
That’s only in the Big Island. See here thehawaiivacationguide.com/best-manta-ray-night-snorkel-kona/
Is it safe to drink the water in Maui and eat their food? after the fires messing up the pipes and infrastructure
Yes, everything is safe.

Why is it closed to travelers.its been mths & mths since the "fires" any chance in yr holiday you could find that out just for us humans that care..?
It’s not closed. Maui opened visitors as soon as a few days after the fires. Hence we started the video saying maui is open. See our maui travel update thehawaiivacationguide.com/lahaina-maui-fire-update/
HAWAII me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/ please i want to know Hawaii hahaha Im serius
