You all made my LIFE! I am a solar panel. The respect for wildlife, flamingo feeding, and teal ocean, oh and whales! Holy sea turtle batman! Air that's breathable! Thank you fam! Mahalo! Best fruit ever!

[@Tangent360]

It should be noted that there are some places in Lahaina that survived and are open again! Mala Ocean Tavern, Old Lahaina Luau (Reopening March 12), the Lahaina Cannery Mall, and others are open and could use the support.

[@l.gabriellearboleda8495]

I just came back from Maui. Nothing replaces Lahaina. Yes, there are other places to go to, things to see and nature is amazing. This was my 15th time there. Lahaina was the heart of Maui. No heart left. It felt really different.

[@Befree-protectyourrightsToday]

Yes, they are DEWing a lot to change the island. What do we DEW now?

[@camsak8713]

I have been a number of times but not since the fire. With so many restaurants gone…Kimos, Lahaina Grill, Fleetwoods…we always stayed at Westin Hyatt or Sheraton…and went into Lahaina for dinner…maybe Whalers village the day we arrived….where do you go now?

[@l.gabriellearboleda8495]

@@camsak8713 last time I was there, 2 months ago, I stayed on the west side of the island, a house, in Kula. That side is still wonderful.

[@DerekRabanal]

Saw you guys and your beautiful family in Waikiki this past week while I was on vacation! I was too nervous to say hi to you guys but I just wanted to say I’m soo thankful for your videos! They helped soo much during my vacation !

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for watching Derek! We hope you had a good vacation. We had a great time in Waikiki. Say hi next time!

[@mikeferretti7422]

Went to The Gazebo this morning and WOW awesome breakfast place. Highly recommend thanks for the recommendation.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Glad you liked it. They do a great job.

[@yvonneeatley3091]

You guys are lifesavers! I would be lost if I didn't watch your video. This is my first time traveling to Maui, and I can't wait! My heart goes out to all the people who suffered from the fire. May god bless you all!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Have a wonderful first trip! Thanks for watching, I'm glad we can help with your planning.

[@vanialawrence5233]

Used your itinerary in May 2023 and it made our first ever trip to Maui an amazing adventure. Thank you! Can't wait for my next trip to another island using your itineraries!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We're so glad our itinerary worked out well for you! We are proud of them! We hope you can make it back to Maui soon. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@annedesiderio2352]

This channel is God sent! We just came back from Maui and we used their videos as a guide for activity ideas such as Whale watching, hike to Iao Valley and our sunset drive to Haleakala! Thank you! xoxo

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

That is wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@Jason9612]

Really wish you guys had posted this before I was in Maui a few weeks ago! We used your itinerary and it was super helpful, though. We will be back for sure. Keep up the great content, guys!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for grabbing our itinerary! Great to hear you had a good trip.

[@rcoplien]

We did that awesome zip line as well. We stayed in Kaanapoli and it was awesome. Glad we got to tour Lahaina before the fire.

[@christinecamley]

I adore Kaanapali, Napili and Kapalua. Fab video. My heart is with everyone impacted by the fire. Horrific. Much care.

[@makeshiftvirus6494]

Just came back from west Maui best trip ever followed your advice about the snorkel store ocean report and the food was amazing thank you soooo much

[@daltonricketts6799]

WE LOVE WEST MAUI. it our favorite. Honoloua bay is my happy place. we also like the blow hole north of kapalua.

[@kmontagna1]

You guys are amazing! Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@joerampley1562]

Such great suggestions. Thanks.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for watching and the comment! Enjoy your trip, Joe

[@bilguana11]

The Kapalua Resort used to offer a free shuttle, with reservations, to the top of their Mahana Ridge Trail, but I see now that it is a 20-mile roundtrip hike. It was difficult enough just going downhill for 10 miles into the heat.

[@joerampley1562]

Enjoyed this video.

[@traceypolden3021]

You just summerize my Maui vacation in February 24. So good. So sad about Lahaina and the people of Maui. I had a beautiful condo. I went because my Aunty's retired there and always invited me.❤

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I’m so glad you made it to West Maui to see your Auntie! Thanks for watching

[@juliemaui]

You don’t have to wait in line at the Gazebo Restaurant. Walk up to the front of the line and order to go. Sit at the tables by the pool or sit on the wall and watch enjoy the view.

[@Pract1cal]

Love the Saturday morning vid drops! We just booked a week at Aulani for October. Going through some of your videos and rewatching the Ko Olina ones and Oahu ones. Will probably buy the Oahu guide soon as well!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

That is great to hear. We will be stopping by Ko Olina in a few days to see friends. Make sure you watch our 2023 Ko Olina guide video. The 2021 video is a classic but a little out of date.

[@Pract1cal]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide I definitely will! I've watched it before but will be watching and paying extra attention now that we are booked to go lol

[@WSAnderson]

100% recommend that snorkel store. Lisa there was fantastic and knowledgeable. Also, Sail Maui is an amazing team for a catamaran trip. During the fire aftermath they turned 100% to relief transportation and relied on go fund me to be able to do it without charging people.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for sharing! It was great to see the tour boats helping with the relief effort. It really showed the strong community in West Maui.

[@jxudan]

Wow. This is really a comprehensive coverage of West Maui! Old Lahaina Luau will be reaping March 14th! call for your reservations now!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We are excited to see Old Lahaina Luau opening again. They had an opening ceremony last week, looked real special.

[@lizp5098]

We are staying on Napili Bay right now. Fantastic beach. I enjoy your videos and used your link to book with Sail Maui and Redline Rafting. Mahalo!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Have a great time in Napili! Thanks for using our links!

[@woodywood3939]

Awesome video!! we were just there, this is everywhere we go every year! miss it already 😎

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I'm glad to hear that! West Maui isn't a big place so it is easy to hit up all these spots. I hope the video isn't confusing for first time visitors.

[@CaitG-l4v]

Highly recommend the Alii Maui Outriggers in Ka'anapali. We go to West Maui yearly and wouldn't miss it!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Steve_in_NJ]

We have a timeshare in Kahana Falls. Was last there in late April 2021 (and in 2009, 2006, 2003, and 1999 before that). As we live in NJ, and our timeshare usage is bi-annual, we may be able to return to Maui in 2027 at the earliest. We've been to The Gazebo for breakfast many times, dinners at several restaurants in Kaanapali, Napili and Kapalua, but our fondest memories are in Lahaina. We loved Hula Grill, but didn't like Sea House for after sunset dinner (food was just meh).

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We hope you can return in 2027! Kahana is a lovely area in West Maui.

[@allanbacon2977]

I could spend a month on Maui and I would still feel like I had an incomplete vacation because THEY destroyed Lahaina. Lahaina was magical with the restaurants the music and the early DEW in the morning times.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

we miss it too. They will rebuild it better, especially by bringing back the sacred wetlands area.

[@allanbacon2977]

@ Everyone in Lahaina needs another 700.00 to help rebuild.

[@anthonyc6310]

Gotta say first of all love the videos especially for a first timer, so many of my questions answered just by watching your videos/website and buying the Maui guide. Thank you for that. Going to Maui in march with my partner and 15month old. Just wondering of anything kid friendly to do? I’m definitely gonna be searching through your videos, but any comments from other people that have been there with a little one would be lovely thank you again!

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide many thanks for your prompt response and very useful information, very impressed by the friendly, devoted , comprehensive and details information you given here on Haiwaii. Like to watch your video plus you both with very good smile too. Sure I will also take your comments to take every opportunity to support the local when I visit there. By the way, I have one more questions to ask : is it easy to drive from OGG airport to sands of Kahana and also drive around in west Maui between Kapalua, Kaanaplati, Olowalu Maalaea and Kihei as I want to rent a car ? Sorry to brother you again, best wishes to you and your family.

[@brianbarnard6823]

We have 3 teenage boys, we are looking for a Maui beach with some good surf for boogie boarding. We’re not talking world class 20 foot professional surfer waves, but something that you can get a nice boogie board ride. Any suggestions??

[@paulonunard6130]

Hi. Love your videos and guides! Planning to go to Maui in June after visiting Kauai. Really struggling with where to stay. Looking at West Maui but am a bit reluctant as we don’t want to be a burden to the community there after the fires, don’t want to come across as a ‘disaster tourist’ (not sure if that is the right term in English) and to be completely honest just want to make sure we don’t get depressed… what would you advice West Maui or Kihei? Warm regards from Amsterdam Netherlands

We are coming to Maui for a short 3 day stay prior to our cruise departing from Honolulu in May 2025. What are your top 5 things you recommend we do in Maui? We will be renting a car. We were hoping on finding an ABNB so we can do laundry before our cruise. My husband has a bad knee, so you can keep hiking and lots of walking off the list.

Only if you stay at Kaanapali Beach Resort. Unless another hotel does it. The cannery might but it’s partially open and Outlets of Maui were destroyed.
