r/MauiVisitors

Going April 8-22. Expecting some rainy days. Wondering what fun activities (other than ocean centre) would be good during rainy days :)

Got here at 9 am and virtually no line at TSA pre-check. I did clear and it took longer to scan the boarding passes than if I just got in the pre-check line.

Sad to leave hopefully back soon.

all the places we ate at on our three day stay on Maui:

Some lesser known great spots:

Oyako tai: great spam musubi, but sells out quick! Take out only

Kaohu store: great poke bowls, only to go

Vante coffee for breakfast- yum banana pancakes

Akamai coffee- was good but over all coffee on Kona was hard to follow!

Island fresh cafe: good breakfast spot to hit up before road to Hana

Some well knowns:

Leodas pie shop: busy, but line goes quick, especially for take out

Mamas kitchen:amazing views and food and fun story about how it got started.

Monkey pod: very touristy/busy area but food is all around very good.

Old Lahaina Lu'au: amazing experience! Recomend getting a chair spot rather than sitting on floor as it is 3 hours. Come hungry! it was also all you can drink

Howdy, I’m visiting next week (4/7-4/14) with my family and we were looking forward to snorkeling down in Kihei/Wailea area. With the upcoming storm, is snorkeling even going to be possible? Thanks in advance!

Any ice cream shop recs? We’re staying in Wailea. Would love some red bean ice cream!

Hi everyone!

My boyfriend and I will be going to Maui for the first time in July. We will be there for roughly a week and neither of us have been before.

Do you guys have any tips or tricks, must sees or dos or other things we have to do while we're there? We will be renting a car too!!

We were thinking of staying in Napili - how is that?

Thank you so much!

We'll be leaving the airport upon arrival at noon, but can't get into our accomodations until 4. Would it be safe to go to the Aquarium and park in their parking lot with our luggage still in the car?

Is this a feasible road to take from the Hana Hwy to Makawao? Thanks for the help.

It is a 2 bedroom condo with resort view. It feels like a good deal and I can't seem to find price ranges for our dates, May 1-8. The resort looks incredible but wondering how the beaches/pools are and if there is anything else that I should know about the place. It will just be my wife and I going and we are staying in a 2 bedroom resort view room.

40 year old couple going back to visit family. I grew up there and my wife lived there for 15 years. We moved to Texas in 2018. Would love to get together with some visitors to go for some hikes and show some people around. Always looking forward to meeting new people.

Hi!

I’m planning to have my wedding ceremony in Maui and then we want to host a dinner for our guests. Do you guys have any suggestions? I’m planning to have the ceremony at gather on and we were planning to just do a dinner there but gather on informed us that we’d have to host it as a reception due to our party size(40). We’re planning to have a big reception in our hometown so this dinner would just be a mini celebration with our friends and family. We’d prefer to have the dinner in wailea or close by to gather on and it would be nice to have a small section at the restaurant for us. I’m open to any suggestions!

Where do you suggest I park to go to the Huma Huma bar without paying the $75 valet fee at the Grand Wailea?

In short I was told the road to Hana used to be really dangerous with tons of potholes, I’ve never been so wouldn’t know, so some personal experience on what car I should rent would be helpful! Thank you, In advance!

It will just be my husband and I. We’re currently booked for a Molokini Trilogy tour, but Alii Nui seems a bit more elevated and cheaper. Open to either, but would love to hear thoughts / experiences!

Interested in stores/areas on Maui where I can take my teen daughter shopping. Vibe: tube tops, seashells, bikinis, pastel pink and blue. (Similar to Pink Palm Puff if you know that brand). Thanks!
