OK so we are actually going to Maui.
Anyone have any tips / recommendations for things to do / see / eat? Also, how hard it is it to find
?
My fiancé and I are eloping to Maui in April. Planning the trip now. Any tips, recommendations, cheaper package deals etc. Thanks
Doing Maui in June. Hotel already taken care of but definitely gonna need some recommendations for food, nightlife, and things to do/see.
- Preciate it.
Snorkeling - I recommend renting gear for the entirety of your stay. There’s little shops all over the island which are all similarly priced. We booked a snorkel tour through our snorkel shop to visit Molokini. This was our boat:
http://mauisnorkeling.com/. The crew and captain were all laid back and knowledgeable. Free breakfast, lunch, and booze, and there were restrooms on board. It's a smaller tour which IMO is better since it's not as crowded. They have free scuba gear to use if you don't bring yours and they offered SNUBA for extra $ if you're into that.
Little Beach on a Sunday evening - watch the sunset with a bunch of hippies. It's a nude beach so be prepared to be exposed to a bunch of old dudes with their junk out.
@turbospartan you can find the
that you're looking for here and much more lol. Dude was walking down the beach with a basket full of magic
while I was there. Cops will post up near the parking lot as you walk back to your cars and give you the death stare, but I didn't see them stopping anyone.
Road to Hana - gas up and head out early. Tons of stops along the way for food, snacks, beaches, waterfalls, etc. We drove past the town of Hana to the Seven Sacred Pools as our last stop before turning around and heading back. Highly recommended. Take some Dramamine before if you get car sick.
Lahaina downtown - shopping, restaurants, tourist stuff, etc
Whaler's Village - shopping and restaurants. We went to Leilani's 2-3 times during our stay. The mahi mahi tacos were on point and hula pie is good if you like dessert. Hula grill next door to Leilani's was basically the same food.
Luau, zip lines, ATVs, scuba, golfing,
Nakalele blowhole/heart shaped rock, tons of hiking trails, cliff jumping @ Black Rock Beach.
Food:
808 Grindz Cafe - breakfast. Small restaurant so there's a strong possibility that there will be a wait. Definitely worth it.
Slappy Cakes - breakfast. Good food and a lot bigger than 808 Grindz so easier to get a table.
Miso Phat sushi - incredible sushi. Super busy at dinnertime. The restaurant allows and insists that you go next door to the liquor store and buy some beer/drinks to bring back and sip on while waiting for a table. Buy extra beer for the sushi chefs, they will appreciate it.
The Fish Market Maui - if you enjoy fresh fish this place is heaven on Earth. The seared ahi sandwich is
Teppanyaki 2 Go By 808 Afternoons - dude set up his own Benihana on the side of the road
Olowalu juice stand - juice spot, fresh fruit, general store, snow cone/ice cream on the side of the highway. I think there's a restaurant there too, but didn't check it out.
fortunately we both been there before so we know what to expect
