Ka'anapali, Maui in 1964

Historic footage of Ka'anapali, Maui, Hawaii in 1964 by Ralph Hoyle.

[@weblus2004]

oooh Maui, what have we done to you in only 50 years....

[@keshiahadababy]

destroyed it :/

[@alohanow156]

It's now the Haoli Islands.

[@spetch21]

@9;30 I can't believe all the sand compared to today! Thanks for sharing.

[@technoiscooljustcuz]

My right ear loved it!

[@lisaday2115]

So thankful for this the best memories ever

[@user-rx4gi2mh7h]

Mahalo for sharing, beautiful memories ❤️.

[@paulinedivingdeepincincinn1962]

Wow how things have changed

[@SKarlsson]

In 1971-72 we stayed at the Sheraton, and later at the Hilton, and Royal Lahaina alternatingly. Mid 1970's with heli tours of the whole island out of the old Kaanapali airport. Before flight, Dad with a cocktail at the Windsock and Roy Rogers for me. Dinners with mom & dad at Pineapple Hill up in Kapalua. Been going ever since myself and my wife over the last 22 years. I remember Lahaina when it had only a few shops and restaurants. The Lahaina Broiler was a good one.

[@crystalyeary1801]

I love this. My husband and I have stayed there a few times and I love seeing it then and now. Awesome

mahalo for sharing

[@meganngeorge]

This is just incredible, thank you so much for posting it.

[@kevmichael2064]

I would like to see This Place back in the day....no Condos!!!...

[@martyspittler3581]

it was all cane and pineapple

[@ChrisSendrey]

Incredible footage!

[@TheGardenOfBE]

WOW, I remember Kaanapali from 1969,,,it was very much like what you see int his 1964 movie. Fond memories! Now we are one of the fortunate few that make Kaanapali Beach our full time residence. Thanks for Sharing! From the heart, Tess

[@justsomegirl7274]

my great uncle had a beach condo here for vacations, and me and my parents and grandparents used to come here often. Going for the first time in years next week 😍

[@mauiskater40]

My parents went here at that time. They stayed in a condo but would go to the Sheraton to be more ritzy. They would just have a drink there. I’m just astounded how much bigger the beaches were They were so formal Seems so ridiculous now to have a guy have on a tie The water looks so much clearer too The fashion shows made me lose my mind a bit omg. 😀😀😀 And the leis were huge!! Now it costs a fortune for a tiny lei I live in Maui Thank you for this

[@caroltakahashi6421]

Those are Carnation lei they’re wearing. They would cost a fortune if they strung them that way today.

[@GulfIslandRock]

We always stay in Kihei the leeward side , so much sunnier and drier

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Drier than Lahaina? The merciless sun?

[@ErikBlair]

Amazing look back. Much has changed.

[@MasonfromHawaii]

Love the couple in this video who hotel hope. Wickedly good video, amazing view between yesterday and today.

[@LindaCasey]

So beautiful ...

[@thetimemachine]

Mahalo for sharing. :-)

[@Travis66421]

Look how green everything was

[@caroltakahashi6421]

The green along the mountain side was all sugar cane fields.

[@videopimp1]

As I see this video and remember what it looked like last year, all I can think about is "The Last Resort" by the Eagles. ke ea Hawai‘i!

[@robertivers4200]

Got married at Sheraton 1978. Thenwent to Hana for 3 nights. Heaven😊❤🎉

[@thedjmbenga1]

The tone of this video reminds me of the beginning of Casablanca

[@CircleJRanch]

ok ...the fabulous 60s. I feel like I just broke into a lost epsiode of Gilligan's Island. The narrator Hoyle is the voice of "the radio" and some Twilight Zone eps. Nice Taylor Dunn 3 wheeler boats (carts). Why is there Geisha serving food? Leave it to Beaver soundtrack at 9:20. Croquet, the last time? It will be the first. Cocktail time. If only they knew Hendrix's crew would show up in '70 upcountry. There went the 'hood. Nice job of looting the black gold from da sea floor. It was all good.

[@alkalama]

I grew up in that area and remember going there to surround net with our church people where we caught a lot of weke. Also my dad use to go there to cut kiawe wood for our hotwater heater stove he built back in Honolua. Now the whole area is covered with hotels and apartments and homes. I guess you can't stop progress.

[@C5drummer]

WOW!! Look at all the dead people!

[@GulfIslandRock]

Or really old people now

[@123clintonk]

is there photos of the whalers village theatre - my favorite theatre

[@GulfIslandRock]

The year I was born

[@aviation3530]

Devastating that Lahaina is now gone.

[@AJVillanueva2030]

:(

[@Iluthra]

Ugh the 60s furnishings. In some ways though, it was better back then.

[@simonedevlin7710]

Harvesting black coral is something that probably stopped in the early 1980's.The golden sand is brought in by barge from Molokai . I wonder if the big white L for Lahainaluna is still visible in the hilly landscape after the fires of Nov 2022?

[@plantationmike6012]

Tourism messed all the islands

[@JAnotherday]

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

[@Kerrblur999]

i remember when i was a boy fishing there before alot of the resorts, BUt this video is way before my time.

[@nathankoroush7918]

just got back from here, sad to see what it used to look like and now. tourist trap over crowed.

[@marlouholgerson4748]

🌺

[@sunnybeach103]

They soon ate their words...got money hungry instead of keeping the land special. Built too many resorts can't even see the beach now.

[@733trees]

Not one Hawaiian

[@leighk6691]

Had one, the bag boy taking the couples bags lol

[@GulfIslandRock]

@@leighk6691 they probably live in the poor section because they can’t afford to live in the high end areas . Sad 😢

[@Rocks_Dad]

It makes me mad to see how much more awesome Maui was 60 years ago. We humans are going to overdevelop and destroy anyplace as nice as Maui. I suspect you had to be a wealthy person to have enjoyed Maui in the early 60s. Plane travel alone back then would have been extremely expensive.

[@caroltakahashi6421]

I flew to L.A. from Maui in 1964, and the one way fare was $99.00.

[@Kerrblur999]

lol looking from the kaanapali course and not seeoing whalers villages freaks me out lol

[@fanfanato]

Finally i watch a video and i can say i'm not even born yet ha ha..

[@Kerrblur999]

omg ym house shook when they blew up the pioneer mill lol! all up lahainluna

[@skhochay]

wow just look how beautiful and elegant a woman use to be, the dres's code. Today we are going to the caves

[@Travis66421]

How tourists think how Maui looks still

[@pleasurenadpain]

Great video! Wish maui didn't develop as much as it did. Guess u can't stop the money makers. A Loius Voutan store in Whalers Village selling $7000 purses. :(((.

[@PeterLiu47]

So amazing how much has changed in almost 50 years. A lot for the better, I think. We're more enlightened now about things like the harm we've done to the black coral, which is making a comeback, thankfully. Attitudes have changed for the better too, I think. Maui is a very different place.

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

Maui has not changed for the better in the last 50 years.

[@cramcrams7741]

What a horrofic disgrace to God. My Pele take back HER OHANA.

[@joshuancontrol]

Love the outright sexism and racism all in 15 seconds at the 13:00 part.

[@JohnO318]

Joshua H. You're insane

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

Moron.

[@lavalady5571]

lol. yep. "At dusk, a handsome shirtless native blows on a conch shell, all to summon your rich, lily-white ass to a sumptuous dinner of boiled lobster."

[@ffletch5277]

So what? It’s true.

[@spacini]

Grow up, douche

[@adeadguy2]

WTF: Here, sophistication meets nature..and nature lends itself to man?

[@jojo-fu4xh]

yes,

[@JohnO318]

adeadguy2 umm, yes.
