    Last visit to Maui was in 2009. Apparently, so much has changed!
    Thank you for the updates, as we’ll be heading back to Maui in late ‘22.
    Also, are there Senior Rates for park passes?
    Mahalo, and A Hui Hou!

      Hi Aliamanu.

      Senior passes are for annual or lifetime visits. Not one time.

      Aloha.

        That’ll work, as now I am retired and plan on being an annual visitor to the islands!

    I watched the sunrise at Haleakala but didn’t get to see the sunset. However I was able to see a full moon while while waiting for the sunrise. It was like I could reach out and touch it. Definitely worth the time to go visit. Breathtaking and something that still brings tears to my eyes as I think about it several years later. A wonderful memory!

    Thank you for the update! I’m a resident of Hawai’i, currently traveling on the mainland. Within the past two weeks, I’ve visited national parks in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. EVERY park has had an open visitors center. The number of people is limited, so sometimes you have to wait outside for a few minutes before entering. And of course, masks are required indoors. There’s NO reason why the national parks in Hawai’i can’t open their visitors centers under the same parameters.

    Hey Beat of Hawaii!
    Thank you so much for your great work! Your information is so helpful. I am not sure if you have any advice, but we have reservations for October at the Maui Marriott for our family, but we are a little hesitant to purchase airline tickets as we understand that things could still shift with Covid. At this time, are you encouraged that things will be “fully open” for tourism in October (so look for good deals to purchase tickets) or do you have concerns that things to be a challenge this Fall still? I understand there is an element that no one knows, but any thoughts are much appreciated!

      Hi Jeff.

      We don’t have any thoughts on how this fall will look. Everything seems to point in the right direction, so we remain optimistic.

      Aloha.

    Such great advice to go for the sunset, we went for sunrise and all we saw was fog, thank heavens we biked down afterwards, the view and experience were unforgettable. I’d love to go back after reading this but will also watch the webcam now! Thanks!

    Amazing and Beautiful!! It’s a brisk (pun intended) and welcome change from the more downtrodden economic issues of today. I look forward to breaking out my flying camera and getting videos of some of the awesome areas that can be viewed from the air. Unfortunately National Parks are not one of them, but I will still get some great shots from the ground, in these areas! Looking forward to filming the secrets and beauty of Hawaii, when I can get back to it, guys!

    Thanks for giving us an upbeat picture, Rob & Jeff! We absolutely 💖 this! Maui is one of our favorite places to be for our actual vacations…🤙

        Yeah! Working on staying healthy…as long as we all do (and they lift the pesky quarantine), it will be sooner, rather than later!

        Have a Great Week, Guys!

        Hi Nita.

        Thanks for that. We too want to keep focus on things other than the past year.

        Aloha.

    Mahalo Beat of Hawai’i for everything you do for everyone.

    I’m thankful for your site and thankful for your new guidelines.

    Much Aloha to everyone out there, now and always.

    Stay safe and always remember that we’re all blessed to be able to enjoy this awesome world, whether in person or through photos.
