This was an amazing way to see authentic Maui. Waterfalls, rainforests, snorkeling, hiking, little towns, wildlife, star-blanketed skies, friendly people, and good food. I picked up the vehicle (solo 8-day trip) and went straight to WalMart for supplies I thought I’d need. Safeway was better for groceries though. I spent the nights in the car due to rain but it was fine. I stayed at the bee sanctuary, Caroline and Tony’s farm in Hana, and Olowalu… all perfect for what I wanted to do. Far from luxury though. Costco has the best gas prices, so bring your membership card if you have one. Sean will give you tips for places to go off the radar, and you can take your time. Stock up on water, bug repellant, and reef-safe sunscreen. Then go with the flow on Island Time. You won’t always have a cell signal, but isn’t that kind of what you’re going for? Seriously, I can’t recommend this enough.
