For our honeymoon in Oct 2016, we had booked a trip to Maui, Hawaii for 7 days. As I am an adventurer and not a beach sitter, I jam packed the week full things to see and do. For accommodations, mixed it up with Airbnb and hotels depending where were were on the island. To get the most fun out of the trip, I recommend renting a vehicle and just go driving around to see things. Below are a list of main spots the areas that we went to:
- Kahului- one night at Maui Seaside hotel after arriving at the Kahului Airport
- Road to Hana, staying two nights in Hana
- ‘Ohe’o Gulch for the day
- Wailea- stayed at Grand Wailea for 1 nights
- Ka’anapali- stayed at Honua Kai Resort for 2 nights
We started our trip heading down to Hana. As it is less of a commercialized area, we ended up renting an Airbnb and packing a cooler full of food so we can eat in. Favorites for that part of the trip was great drive on the Road to Hana. It was pouring that day and as the road is a two lane highway with only one lane widths at some bends, it was interesting drive to say the least. If you are driving down to Hana area, the must see’s are the Black Sand Beach hiand the Pools at ‘Ohe’o.
Be prepared for the hike through the bamboo forest at Ohe’o Gulch as it was quite swampy. I ended up taking my sandals off and going barefoot for part of the hike. Well worth it as you can see below.
