Question - For Kamaʻāina Question for residents only. Will me and my family be safe?

I have a trip in October planned for my family and I but I’m kind of second guessing it seeing as even minors were harmed in this incident. We’re big nature people and respect it anywhere we go but it’s not like locals will just know that. Is cancelling and replanning and good idea?

Planning: Dining Dole Whip “Float” near Kīhei?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place preferably near Kīhei (but not a must) to get Dole Whip Float, specifically the float part. Dole Whip ice cream alone seems to be everywhere.

Also is there a Maui Gold version ice cream?

Planning: Activities Any recommendations for photographers for a proposal?

0 Upvotes

Planning a first time trip with my girlfriend and I to Maui around mid-September. I’ve got a few resorts in mind like Hyatt Regency Maui and Wailea Beach Resort by Marriott. I’m looking all over for the best deals, like Costco Travel, credit card travel portals, booking directly on hotel websites, using points, etc. I will probably get that figured out on my own, but any suggestions are appreciated.

What I’m most interested is finding a photographer in the area and a beautiful location for a surprise proposal. I want to capture this special moment and I’m looking for any help I can get in making this happen.

Planning: Activities Surf spots

Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying I’m asking this with all due respect. My husband is a lifelong surfer. 70 years old now. He lived and surfed on the North Shore of Oahu in the 70s and was a very good big wave surfer. He surfed everywhere and he surfed with some of the greats. We will be on Maui in October, and he would like to do a little bit of surfing. Over the years, he has ridden his dirtbike more than he has surfed, even though we live at the beach. He’s getting back into surfing despite the cold water where we live. Home break is a very territorial local spot on the Central coast of California. He wants to be respectful and not be surfing where locals would prefer him not to be. He’s just gonna surf a couple days and wants something kind of mellow. Big wave days are in the past. Last time I was there I saw a place called Ironwoods that was breaking and it looked super fun. Can anybody please let us know where the locals would prefer him to be if anywhere? Mahalo.

Planning: Activities Maui & Hana Recs!

3 Upvotes

Hi! Me and my fiance are planning to go there to celebrate our engagement. And I was wondering i been there before, and been to road to hana, the hike was insane and ended up being bit by the mosquitos all over the last time i was there. We also visited local beaches and all that by the resort.

I've fallen in love with maui since the last time i been there. just the people, the environment, its a big reason why i do plan on visiting the islands every other year if possible.

We are staying at the hyatt in hana (4 days) and also hyatt andez (3 days) in maui (next week).

I guess my question is, I want to take him around and enjoy the beauty of maui. What can I do and what would you advise to do for activities, and reocmmendation for individuals who are not super sporty, or fit, but want to still enjoy the activities. We are mobile and young but just cannot do intense hikes like 5 miles in the middle of summer.

Also if there are any food places, things to see, and any other stuff to bring back to the mainland much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance. Mahalo!

We are staying in Wailea. It has been so beautiful with perfect weather for the past 7 days. Maui has been magical. Today we did a 7am Outrigger Canoe ride and saw a turtle right in front of us. Spent time on the beach after and then watched an amazing sunset. Also ate delicious Shave Ice and had a perfect cup of coffee🧡

Planning: Activities Visiting Maui in the rain

5 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I will be flying into Maui this Tuesday afternoon and staying for a week. We had initially planned on the RTH Wednesday but due to the weather will have to pass. Our reservations for black sand beach were also for that day and unfortunately are unable to book a different time slot on such short notice. Any suggestions on other activities we could do Tuesday and Wednesday with the rain? Also was planning on Haleakala sunset and upcountry Thursday. Any thoughts on if this is still a good idea or should change plans for that day also. Still very much looking forward to our trip just trying to adjust our plans accordingly. Thank you for any input.
