Aloha everyone as you all know these spots are incredible to come and see for yourselves. But please remember to respect the culture, the land, and us native Hawaiians that live here. This is our home that we cherish very much. Mahalo

Of course! Hawaii can be dangerous

Nice synopsis! PRO TIPS: * 1-2 hours *before* you drive the road to Hana, take Bonine (not Dramamine) if you have ever had even a *twinge* of motion sickness. -note: if you're a scuba diver, you already know that Bonine is non-drowsy while Dramamine will make you sleepy *7 Sacred Pools are worth the trip for those who are physically fit. *the hike to Waimoku falls is all uphill (be physically fit and wear the Tevas or hiking shoes, not flip flops) *Bamboo forest is unique if you've never been in one, especially if the wind is blowing gently (the sound is lovely). * *bundle up warmly and take a thermos of hot coffee/tea/cocoa up to Haleakala for sunrise, which is the most spectacular time to visit *Wailea is lovely for people who are more interested in romance, maybe not interested in adventure hikes, or have physical disabilities. *Lahaina is a place to avoid, unless you prefer an extremely touristy, cheesy, very cruise-ship type of experience (but ok for young kids) *there are many other little towns that are worth a visit. Frommer's guide books are your friend (all the Maui guides are excellent) * Black Rock is good for snorkeling in calmer waters *if you're a windsurfer, you already know Maui is a hotspot for this sport *Kahekili highway is a gorgeous drive, somewhat similar to Australia's Great Ocean Drive from Warnambol back to Melbourne You can't do it all in one trip 2-week trip to Maui, but you can break it up over several trips and make sure to hit different times of year. P.S. Don't forget whale watching (especially if you scuba dive, as you can hear the song of the Humpbacks LIVE in the water)

@jenniferjudy1620

Kahekili Highway is the most dangerous drive for any tourist to drive, is 21 miles of sheer 1 lane terror, locals DO NOT WANT YOU ON IT, no way to turn back once you realize what an idiot you are to even attempt it! Yes it’s gorgeous but not safe unless you are a local. Maui is not Disneyworld. Also, Lahaina is a quaint town where you can grab some happy hour snacks & a drink at Fleetwoods on front street or Kimos & watch the sunset, or visit cool art galleries, or have a nice breakfast at Betty’s. Baby beach is for families with young toddlers. To each their own. P.S. You can hear the whales while snorkeling as well. P.S. You actually must be fit to enjoy all of Maui, even Wailea. Parking is limited on the island, 6000-9000 tourists coming each DAY, so walking everywhere is required. Resorts in Wailea aren’t really directly on the beach & walking is required (I went w a bum hip a few times, long way to get to the beach unless you are in beach front but still gotta walk throughout resorts to get there) but there is a long walkway all along that area, lots of rocky beaches. I joined a gym yesterday so I’m not a lard ass for my upcoming trip in September!

You can take a ferry to Lanai from Lahaina. The mission houses are interesting. There are worthwhile things to see in tourist areas as well.

The best advice I was given about seeing the sunrise at Haleakala is to do it your first morning in Hawaii. We had to leave the hotel at 4 a.m. local the last time we visited, which wasn't so bad considering it was 7 a.m. back home and we hadn't really adjusted our internal body clocks to Hawaii yet.

Reservations are on line and fill up fast, so fast we missed the reservation by a matter of seconds. I suggest you do a sunrise tour, let them figure out the reservations and they pick you up at the hotel or do the bike ride down after the sunrise, we did that back in 1994, it was awesome but do dress warm, it’s cold 🥶 up there.
