Aloha! Love the videos! Need your advice, please. Lord willing, our ‘ohana is headed back to Maui next year, and I wanted to know if you all had any tips about airport shuttles from OGG to Kaanapali? Normally, we just rent a car at the airport but we are packing a lot for this upcoming trip so it would be easier and cheaper if we rent a car after dropping off our stuff (instead of getting a big SUV or van at the airport for the whole trip). Mahalo much!

Love Merriman’s in Kapalua! Best dinner view and their fish of the day dish never fails to be one of the best meals of my life! :)

[@Cragozy]

Alooooha! Another beautiful day on Maui. Thanks for sharing, again!

[@mikercflyer7383]

One of our favorite beaches we stayed at the Ridge at Kapalua a few times in the day when there was the Kapalua Bay Hotel and there were no Town homes or is it big houses behind the beach. Good old days.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Wow! That would be cool to see

[@billhobartclairvoyantmedium]

I can not wait to experience Maui for the rest of my life! Thanks for the videos! Maybe we'll run into each other one day

[@Brenda-fc5th]

We had dinner at Merriman’s and had the most amazing Mai Tai’s and dinner! I wouldn’t have known about it if I didn’t see this video. Thanks! 🌺☺️🏝

[@richmagsombol198]

Thanks again for the video 6 more months and we’re so there! Wind chill of 5 degrees here in Chicago

[@isaactapia7436]

Love this idea! Going to book this this week. Thanks!!

[@bilguana11]

Another great Maui video.

[@cryptopunk888]

Kapalua Bay is the best spot on Maui!

[@leonardoj92]

I am going there on the 3rd of January, glad to see everything is sort of open again. My only big concern is testing for covid and getting the results back on time. I'm going to have to test on the 31st which hopefully doesn't get complicated.!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We’ve heard things are getting much smoother with testing every week! Enjoy your trip!

[@leonardoj92]

The Hawaii Vacation Guide thank you! I actually decided to take the rapid test to guarantee my trip, it’s worth it! Cannot wait

[@ashleymason2273]

Thanks so much for sharing this dream day date! Wan’t wait to do the same!

[@tonyguinn566]

Wish we'd known about your videos when we first went to Maui. Our next trip will be our fourth time out...

[@nathanurick8320]

Just a beauty place & restaurant but hey I might could say that about all the water front places. I don’t know how a person could pick a number 1 spot.

[@nicoleritchay8590]

Awesome, I have wanted to see Merriman's. Beautiful footage, hope the drone was ok.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

it got fixed at the factory and was back flying in no time. thanks for watching! We need to do another date like that one!

[@nicoleritchay8590]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Definitely! I love your channel, I have watched almost all of your videos. So fun! Thank you.

[@garywarren5457]

WE HAD OUR 25TH, 30TH, 40TH AND 45TH ANNIVERSARY DINNERS AT MERRIMANS, GREAT PLACE, GREAT VIEW, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. . . .PLANNING ON AGAIN THIS YEAR IF POSSIBLE

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

What a special place to celebrate! We truly love it there.

[@michaelmiller2475]

Only you guys and the drone....covid times

[@mikepribanich3128]

You guys are awesome, family is going in February. Couldn’t be more excited, kids want to try to surf for a first time any suggestions?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

If you're staying in West Maui, a great place to learn is breakwall next to Lahaina harbor. We have surf instructors listed on our website if interested thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaii-recommendations/hawaii-best-tours-and-activities/maui-tours-and-activities/

[@hpj1992]

Thanks for all these videos. I have watched all of them. Me and my wife are visiting Maui for our first wedding anniversary in January and super excited. How hot is the water around January?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

You'll have a wonderful time! Average ocean temp is 76 degrees farenheight. We have all the details and data on a January trip on our website: thehawaiivacationguide.com/january-in-maui/

[@hpj1992]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide thanks for the response. Our last flight from LAX is at 9 AM 15th Jan. What would be good time to take covid test appointment? 9 am 12th or 12 pm 12th ? In one of your video you guys mentioned some PST/EST issue, I didn't understand fully.

[@joshuabenoit3744]

what is a good day of the week to go to the bay? When the crowds seem less. We are going Saturday.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

the trick is to go early, like before 10am.

[@nikkisilvestro3259]

Great drone footage! Had a question about Merrimans... did you guys make a reservation for indoor dining or do bar seating outside?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We went when there were only residents on island. Now, you gotta make a reservation. They have limited seating on the grass but first come first served.

[@HenggaoCai]

What did you order at Merriman’s?

[@livinlife5273]

Ah, I see you drive a Leaf ev! I am planning a move to Maui (love the vlogs) and am considering shipping my Bolt ev...how is the charging infrastructure?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It just got a lot better with new Type 3 chargers installed on the island. But there are not a lot of type 2 chargers evenly spread on the island and those can be hit or miss on working. But, we love having an EV and it makes complete sense on this small island. Shipping it over is a good idea.

[@livinlife5273]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Mahalo! That is such a relief as I doubt I can charge at a condo unit in my price range. FYI I had a Leaf before the Bolt. Loved that car! Love your videos. As an aside, there are so many videos about moving to and living in Hawaii that focus on the negative; so few focus on the positive...of why the sacrifices are worth it. Would love to see one from a couple (family) that is clearly making the best of it. Regardless, your perspective is valuable. Keep 'em coming. :-)

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

@@livinlife5273 good luck on the move! We will give it some thought on a video sharing our experience and why we are sticking around. thanks for the insight.

[@cdez8486]

How far is this bay from the Four Seasons?

[@richmagsombol198]

Hope the drone is ok

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It had to go back to the shop for repairs but will be good as new!

[@michellehodges4061]

Does the water get rough in January in this bay?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Yes, it can. Kapalua is northwest Maui so it gets the winter swells. Check conditions before you head out, get The Snorkel Report by The Snorkel Store for daily conditions.

[@gabrielagonzalezrealtor5338]

Is there a trail in Kapalua that’s easy to get too?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

The Kapalua Coastal Trail is the easiest, starts at the Ritz or Kapalua Bay. Mahana Trail starts near D.T. Fleming Beach. Lots of walking trails behind the golf course.

[@Kae648]

How warm does it get in Maui in January?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Great question! We have an article on that one - thehawaiivacationguide.com/january-in-maui/

[@emilymcmakin8698]

Can you rent paddle boards there?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Yes! there is a rental shack, part of the Montage I think, on the north end of the beach

[@Trey927]

I heard kapalua is expensive

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Yes, the resorts like The Ritz and Montage are the most expensive on the island but Kapalua Bay is free for all.

[@lanautah8622]

Where is Henry???

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Haha! With his favorite babysitter :)

The crash of 2020.
