MAUI?!
With most of the wedding planning check list crossed off, we're finally thinking a bit about our honeymoon. It's been on the back burner up until now, and the only thing we really have planned are our flights and hotels. While I'm sure that it's hard to go to Hawaii and not have the best time - I'd love to go with a short list of must see/must do items.
For those who have been before - what do you recommend? Thanks friends! The countdown is on - 33 days until the day.
Let me ask my family, they go all.the.time. And I'm pretty sure they time these vacations with me being unable to attend. OMG, I can't believe you're getting married in a month!
ReplyDelete33 days?! Holy cow. So exciting!! I have never been to Hawaii but I can only imagine it will be a total dream!
ReplyDelete33 days!!! Amazingness! Never been to Hawaii, but I'm positive you will have the BEST time.
ReplyDelete33 days!!!!! You are so close! So excited for you!! I went to Hawaii a couple of years ago, but my entire family got the stomach fly the first day and we never left the hotel room!
ReplyDeleteOMG. wedding is SO soon. Cannot wait for drinks in a few weeks. I went to Maui when I was younger, but my mom goes every year, gasp, for a month (diva). she went ziplining somewhere and lOVED it. She also has some boutiques i'll have to get info on.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Maui twice!!! Once when I was 17 and then almost 2 years ago for my honeymoon! How long will you be there?! Email me at elle.elizabethblog@gmail.com and I can give you lots of ideas!
ReplyDeleteI was in Maui twice last year! Where are you staying?? I like food - A LOT, so I have some pretty great restaurant recommendations, depending on where you are staying, but one of my FAVORITES, for both the food and the view was Humuhumunukunukuapua. So amazing. (the first pic in this post is from that restaurant: http://newonu.blogspot.com/2011/11/favorite-hawaii-trip-memories.html) We also went snorkeling on the Alli Nui, which is one of the best boats in Maui. And of course the 2 am bike ride to the volcano is a must.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
so fun!! hawaii was on our list, but we decided on punta cana. you're going to have such an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteDo the drive on the road to Hana! So pretty and worth all the twists and turns. We also did a fishing trip (I caught a 67 lb Marlin, best arm workout ever!!) and the early morning trip up to Haleakala.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's in 33 days! You are going to have the best day and the best honeymoon! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to maui, but I have been to oahu and I loved every second of our stay, from what I know maui is suppose to be much better, I would recommend doing a helicopter ride everything is much better from the sky! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been to Maui and it's just gorgeous! Definitely go to Mt Haleakala, it's a great experience

Maui is gorgeous. We split our honeymoon between Maui and Kauai. Mama's Fish House is a great place to go for dinner. The Road to Hana is beautiful- it's very curvy and you basically drive out to Hana and back. Let me know if you want other advice! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of great restaurants and shops in Lahaina, Maui... we loved Kimo's for their yummy seafood and fabulous ocean views.
ReplyDeleteActivities: Road to Hana, visit Paia, bike down Haleakala, hike around in Haleakala, snorkeling Molokini crater, snorkeling Sheraton Black Rock, go to Lahaina, go to Whalers Village, go to a Luau. Food: Mama's Fish House, Sansei (sushi), Roy's, Tropica (Westin Kaanapali), Sea House (Napili), Kula Lodge.
ReplyDeleteYAH! youre going to have the best time. my parents went there a few years ago and they had a wonderful time. they did the helicopter ride to a volcano and said that was really cool.
ReplyDeleteI just went to Maui at the end of February! My favorite part of the trip was snorkeling at Molokini and Turtle Town — I went with the Pacific Whale Foundation, and it was absolutely amazing. Also highly recommend driving the road to Hana and the 7 pools. It will take you all day, but the scenery is breathtaking. The posts from my trip are here. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Hawaii but I mostly wanted to say I cannot BELIEVE it's only 33 days away!
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on blog posts now -- we got back from Maui on Sunday! It was AMAZING. You will LOVE it! You definitely have to rent snorkel gear (we got ours decently priced from Boss Frogs - there are a couple of locations) and check out a few different beaches. We liked the snorkeling best at Kapalua Bay. It was like being in an aquarium! We also snorkeled at Honolua Bay and Napili Beach. If you're on the northwest side of the island, check out the Olivine Pools - natural tide pools that you can go in (amazing!) We had a great dinner at Haliimaile General Store one night. We went ziplining through Kapalua Adventures - it was awesome! We did not do the Road to Hana because I was getting carsick, but I have heard great things about it. I put some photos on my blog yesterday. Have so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHi i had to write because i have been to Maui at least once per year for 20 years and was married there and honeymooned on Lanai. A few things you would love :
ReplyDeletethe little town of Paia has Baldwin beach which is worth a visit and ask a local how to get to baby beach-there is a natural breakwater forming a swimming pool in the ocean. While in Paia go to the Fishmarket. Its on the only corner in the two street town and have the MahiMahi burger-famous fish burger. Depending on which end of the island you are spend a day on napili beach and have lunch at the restaurant on the beach at Napili Kai resort-totally old school and one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. IN Wailea you should go the Four Seasons and spend the day on their beach-all beaches are public and its always full of random celebrities. In the morning they have free coffee and tea by the poolside restaurant Duo and the lobby bar has the best Mai Tai on the island and at five pm every night they have a hula dancer in the bar with a singer and they light the torches all over the property-lovely. Makena beach is a massive gorgeous beach but be sure to take an umbrella-no shade. And take a walk over the little hill to little makena-hilarious nude beach! Hailemaile General Store is worth the drive-super charming and always go at least once while there! Mahalo
