Well done video Eric. You represented the island with integrity, though not a native, I think the locals appreciate your thoughtfulness to share your knowledge of the culture. We love to visit and will miss all the special Times in Lahaina, but we know that one day the people will rebuild.

The locals litter more than the tourists unfortunately....

[@larryworkman2093]

Living on the Oregon Coast, I would have to agree that we also have trash all over on the side of the roads but we have lots of transients and 99 percent most likely comes from the locals. I think most tourists respect the places the go so, at least I do, and clean up after themselves and are mindful of that kind of stuff. There are some I'm sure as is everywhere but Maui reminds me of the Oregon Coast quite a bit in some places. Can't wait to go visit in April. By far the best video I've seen on all the must see site topics. Thank you for the tips!

Forget about Cosco and shop real food at the Farmers Market. Eat from the farm to the table. Support the farmers and help Maui become self sustainable.

Our daughter did a surf camp with Maui Surfer Girls a couple of years ago (at 15). They made her feel so confident & comfortable. This year, she took 2 private lessons w/Nick from Island Style Adventures. She improved so much. She’s fine the zip line tour & you’re right, it’s fantastic. Scuba divers & those wanting to try it for the first time- call Brent at BRB diving. He’s a great guy. Took our 15 year old out, who was very unsure, but she did it!! I hadn’t been scuba diving in years, but Brent helped me get my sea legs back! 🤿 Thanks for all of your tips- I wrote them all down for next time.

Disagree on going to Costco right from the airport- there is temptation to some seedy individuals, to break into vehicles that have luggage in them. Either go there after u have dropped off your luggage at your destination, or if possible, have someone stay back in your car while other folks do the shopping. Break ins are just a way of life (everywhere) now days.

Great fish tacos at Coconuts in Kihei. Check out the local car rental companies. They're much nicer, cheaper, and won't make you stand in line for two hours at the airport. Also, when you arrive at your condo, check out the closets and storage. Previous renters will leave all kinds of things behind. I always find beach chairs, boogie boards, even coolers and sandals. Maui no ka oi!

Good point I’ve heard horror stories about how long people have to wait to get a rental car at the airport. Definitely go with a local company sometimes even deliver right to the parking lot!

Thats why its a "membership club" But I heard that if you go to the one in Maui and tell the guy at the door who checks for membership cards that you are on vacation and then you do a hula dance and sing "Tiny Bubbles" or the theme to " Hawaii 5-0" they will make an exception.

Thanks for the video I’m leaving to travel Hawaii in 15 days but going to do things a little different, going to be camping on the beaches and staying with locals using couch surfing I’m 19 and this is the start of my journey across the earth maybe even going to start a KZbin travel channel

Sweet. Hawaii is an amazing place to shoot video!

[@MrBorisio]

Invest in a rode micro mic that comes with the wind sock. You might need a separate camera app on your phone to use a TRS microphone or aka external microphone. I had a really cheap "action camera" from Amazon for like 100$ that came with a ton of accessories to shoot underwater. I bet you couldn't tell the difference between the China brand and gopro. If you review them they'll send you extra batteries. Total of 4! I had an extendo pole for my snorkeling stuff. Really helped with some creative angles and close up's to fish. Costco is the cheapest place on the island for memory cards. I had a gimble for my phone but none of the buttons worked for Android. Still stabalized but I couldn't do panning time lapses. Best wishes for the new year and on your journey!

starrwoman100 Aloha from Maui! Mahalo for the compliments!!!

[@imapseudonym1403]

I have to disagree with your claim about staying on the leeward side. We always stay in upcountry or north shore and the weather there is gorgeous. Yes, it rains there, but it's short and warm. If you're from Canada or northern USA, you'll love it. The temperatures are nice, the entire area smells like a tropical flower garden, and the roadside fruit/vegetable stands are everywhere. Take advantage of them (and don't short change them, these people sell their produce at a very reasonable price so don't be a jerk. Haole already have a tough time there, don't make it worse for us).

[@hawaiirealestateorg]

Ima Pseudonym Aloha Ima! Good point actually. Not everyone demands constant sunshine. I actually lived in Kula for 4 years and loved the weather. It was the hill driving and distance to the ocean that got me back to the leewardside. Where do you usually stay when you are on the north shore or upcountry?

[@imapseudonym1403]

@@hawaiirealestateorg Either Haiku, or Makawao. This last october, we were staying in a house right near Pauwela. Lovely area. I just wish we could afford a small place there. But, I'm not a millionaire, and never will be. So, visiting is as close as we'll ever get.

Pukalani is our favorite spot to stay. Off the tourist track and convenient to Makawaeo. Love the Pukalani State Park. It has remarkable views including a swimming facility, skate park and numerous walking, running paths. Love Serpicos in Pukalani for great Italian fare, especially the pizza and eggplant. They have Jersey roots, enough said. We also like to hike Olinda Reserve which is a nice ride up from Pukalani. Finally, the farmers market in the shopping center on Saturday mornings is a great way to support the locals. Safe travels and God Bless.

[@imapseudonym1403]

@@richardsiderko6239 Agreed! We make the trip to Kahului to attend the market on Saturdays. Not only farmers, but many artists and crafts persons there. Its a great way to support the local economy!

Well shootz den. Mahalos for the complement. Tell those boys to lay off the white flour and suds and come to Hawaii and rose waves for a year. It’s all in what you do and what you eat!

Haleakala sunrise is so breathtaking. But darn, I learned I had altitude sickness. Was so sick and can’t do it again. But I understand it’s rare. Hana is the best! And, yes, each beach has it’s own personality! I recommend Secret Beach, but I’m not telling where it is! You are right about the sunscreen. Last but not least, think Ma’alaea for a central location and BUDGET. Aloha!

[@hawaiirealestateorg]

Love Secret Beach as well. That whole area is epic!
