Anyone thinking it over about where to stay on Maui. Stop it right now.
Honokawai was perfect. Walaia is expensive, Lahaina while cool, is crowded.
This is the place.
A stay on Maui depends on what you want to do of course, but this place completely fit the bill for us who came with our own itinerary.
Literally a few steps to the beach with a fun park right there to watch locals all gather to see the amazing sunsets every single night. Yep. It’s that good.
Rented snorkel gear from the great shop across the street (Boss Frog) and we took it everywhere on Maui. You’re undoubtedly reading reviews right now about what to do there, but if you don’t snorkel next to sea turtles and see amazing colorful fish swim right next to you, you will regret the opportunity.
You will miss Maui when you leave.
Just know, wherever you are right now reading this, it will be the single…greatest…trip of your life. The people, culture and life are so amazing.
Please practice Kokua while there. Mahalo.
