Message: [QUOTE="NatiHuskiFan, post: 3251832, member: 9017"] I lived in Maui for 4 years from 2008-2012, went back in 2014, 2016, and just took my wife there for our honeymoom last month. I would be more than happy to give you the best recommendations. I have a huge word document I give friends or co-workers going there. There are many things I’d pass on which have been mentioned in this thread but there are also plenty of top notch recommendations also. My question for you would be more along the lines of what you wanted out of the trip. Are you an avid hiker or want to be out in nature a lot? Or would you prefer a top notch resort that is all inclusive? Are you more of a mix of everything? There are definitely a lot of recommendations I’d make, but I would rather know if you are looking for something specific out of the trip. My personal top 5 would be: 1. The Road to Hana for sure and definitely leave early as someone else mentioned. Unfortunately this has become WAY more crowded than it ever was 10 years ago, so I’d skip most of it until you reached black sand beach and red sand beach as mentioned. Spend more time at Red Sand Beach. There will be fewer people there. As you make your way to the National Park stop around mile marker 42 for Venus Pools. You just have to park nearby and make sure the land owner doesn’t have a no trespassing signs up and you are good to go with your own natural pool if your there early enough. Take the back route from Hana if your willing. I think its worth it. Word of caution to be extremely careful if you hike other trails on road to Hana. So many more people getting lost stranded or die here than you hear about. 2. Mamas Fish House is definitely good, but I have found Merriman’s in Kapalua to be a better choice. Either way you need reservations weeks/months in advance. Eat at some local places for lunch/breakfast too. 808 Deli and Da Kitchen are great options with Da Kitchen being all local style food. 3. Taco Tuesday at Freds Mexican Cafe in Kihei. Cheap margaritas and tacos. It gets very crowded and you can’t make reservations. 4. Sunday nights at Little Beach. It’s just a different experience on Sunday nights. It is next to Big Beach (Makena Beach is actual name). This is a nude beach and folks will definitely be taking advantage of that. There is a drum circle and fire dancing. Quite obviously you will be offered items you can choose to partake in at your leisure lol. 5. Thursday nights at dog n duck Irish pub in Kihei. This is the best trivia night I have ever been too. I used to go every Thursday night and had a blast. Other than that I would want to know more of what interested you I guess. I can email you my word document if you would like. [/QUOTE]
