Thanks for the list.
I’ve enjoyed 25 years of travel to Kauai. I love the island and always enjoy my trips. I feel like I’m 1/26th a resident.
My family has always done our best to enjoy the island and make sure that the only thing we take away our good memories (and about 10,000 sunrise photos).
Thank you for always welcoming us.
Don’t saw back in the United States!! Do try to speak pidgin.
Our kids were on their babymoon to celebrate their first baby, and we’re parked by the surf shop/Matsumoto shave ice on North Shore, for probably 20
Minutes max, and had their cameras, go pro, new purchases, etc. stolen out of the trunk! Our daughter in law cried as their memories were all gone in minutes. So beware the trunk idea…
This is the best thing I’ve seen published regarding Hawaii travel in a long time. Thank you
36. Never ever tuck your aloha shirt into your pants or shorts.
We stayed in Lahaina, Maui. We liked the Sunrise Cafe, Kobe Japanese restaurant and the restaurant at the Pioneer Inn. We also attended the Feast at Lele and the Old Lahaina Luau. They both had very good food.
Hi Carol, Colleen, and others.
Thanks for helping with that!
Aloha.
There hasn’t been an operating ferry boat to Lanai in years!
4 times a day out of Lahaina Harbor.
You are mistaken…we took it from Lahaina harbor in December 2022.
Great Tips Especially Drive Slower!! I was in Maui in 2017 when 4 people died in a car wreck by my Resort on the main Drag and I have Found out a Number of these while visiting like Don’t Over Schedule! Also, Tip Huge, It is the Right and Classy thing to Do! Aloha!
Thank you so much for many great suggestions. Never thought about rechecking reservations for cost changes. One of the things you suggest is eating at Hawaiian restaurants. Can you possibly give a couple of examples on Kauai and on Maui. Will be on Kauai 4/29/23, and Maui 5/6/23. Thanks in advance
Hi Charlie.
Thanks! We’ll let others suggest restaurants. And it is a very personal choice. Suggest looking at reviews of places that speak to you then googling ownership. It’s easy to find.
Aloha.
We loved Sam’s oceanfront in kapaa and Keoke’s paradise on Kauai and Mama’s Fish House on Maui. Mama’s is the Quintessential “old Hawaii” location near Paia. Perfect for a special occasion.
On Maui the Sunrise Cafe in Lahaina is good and the restaurant at the Pioneer Inn. Also Kobe. They prepare your dinner at the table.
Once I heard someone says “when I get back to the states” (actually, I’ve heard that a lot) and I cringed. Naturally, Hawaiʻi Is “The States”. Then I cringed again, because I realized maybe they are right…because… IS Hawaiʻi truly “The States”? In my opinion it is not. It’s a land that was illegally highjacked from its people and it made me think again about the original comment…. I would encourage everyone to learn the true history of this land. It’s not exactly paradise for all. It’s still amazing and the people of this land are even more incredible!

Hi Andy.
