As most of you know, we recently took my parents to Maui for their first visit to Hawaii. I will be posting our itinerary with details in a future post, which I think will be an excellent first timer’s guide to Maui, but in the mean time I just wanted to share some notes from [...]
From my experience, anytime I’ve mentioned the restaurant Zippy’s to any Hawaii resident, their eyes light up. At Zippy’s, you’ll find the authentic local fare as opposed to the normal tourist menu items at the resort restaurants. So, what will you find on their menus? You definitely find a huge variety — from their famous [...]
Pssst! Hey you! Shh! Here’s a secret for ya: Hawaii beaches are practically deserted near sunset. Can you believe it? We took this photo from Waikiki Beach near sunset. Notice that this extremely popular beach isn’t very crowded at all and it became even more quiet as the sunset was nearing.
We were amazed at how [...]

Mama’s Fish House serves fresh fish caught in Hawaii’s clean waters. Most of the fish is caught around Maui. How do I know this? Their [...]

Since I’ve had the opportunity to visit all the islands, I’d have to say that Maui has some of the best restaurants in Hawaii. On top of the ono (delicious) food, many of Maui’s restaurants also [...]
At Go Visit Hawaii, we know that there are a number of different Maui luau options. We also understand gathering all the key details such as prices, days of operation, and reviews can be time consuming and difficult to gather. Trust me. I know it is time consuming because it’s taken me a few hours [...]
The Honolua Store in Kapalua has so much charm with it’s old wooden floors and friendly staff. The Honolua Store was built in 1929 and it originally served as a company store for the local pineapple plantation.
This store is the perfect place to grab some picnic supplies and take down to one of the [...]
