How to Travel Maui - BEST Maui Travel Guide!!
the Hawaiian Islands are magical last
month I was lucky enough to spend some
time exploring the island of Maui with
my family we had such an amazing time
and I want to be able to share that
experience with you guys so here's how
to travel Maui in one week now I'm just
gonna put it out there I'm probably
going to butcher almost every name I say
in this video but bear with me starting
off your trip you're going to arrive at
the kalui Airport grab your bags and
then take a bus uber or taxi into town
to pick up your rental car now you could
definitely pick up a rental car from the
airport but if you want to save some
money just get one in town now buses and
tours will take you to some of these
locations but the freedom of having a
rental car is going to be unmatched so
if you're heading to Maui I strongly
suggest you go for the rental car before
you leave kalui and head to your place
make a stop at Costco to pick up some
groceries a Hawaiian vacation is not
complete without an introductory Costco
shop mom where are we no no no where are
we now in terms of accommodation there's
hotels and stuff but we rented a condo
through VRBO and you can totally use
Airbnb to do the same we went out on a
whim and ended up choosing to stay in
the city of Kihei and I think that's the
place to be it's in such a good location
putting you right near the middle of the
island allowing you to do day trips in
either direction which is really nice
now that you've got some food take some
time to relax crack a beer but make sure
you keep an eye on the clock because at
4:00 p.m. you're going to need to go
onto your phone or your computer now
this will make a lot more sense later on
in the video but you need to secure
yourself tickets to the Haleakala
volcano sunrise tour now although we're
doing it on a later day you need a
ticket and the only way to get a ticket
is by purchasing it beforehand online
approximately 80 tickets are released
each day at 4 p.m.
local time and they sell out almost
instantly so make sure you start doing
this on day one now to be honest with
you guys I'm not much of a beach guy
I much prefer exploring so that's gonna
be the main focus of this itinerary but
yesterday you did have a big day so
think about taking it easy today soak up
the Hawaiian vibes by checking out some
of Maui's famous beaches here are a
couple of my favorite secret beach
makena Beach and Baldwin Beach so now
that you're rested I think we can start
adventuring the next couple days
are going to be intense so get ready
[Music]
first off you're going to wake up early
to hike the wahi Ridge Trail one of my
favorite hikes that we did on this trip
it's a moderate 5 mile round trip hike
taking you along the wahi Ridge up to a
beautiful lookout above the mountains
now the view was great but the journey
was definitely my favorite part it's a
fun hike
next up you have to check out the Iowa
Valley it's a state monument this will
be a nice break after the Waukee ridge
trail hike it's a relatively small park
that you'll be able to explore in about
an hour
and to top it off there is a river that
you can swim in I'm gonna be honest I
accidentally deleted the footage I took
while we were there so hopefully these
pictures can do it justice regardless
you gotta check it out after that you're
going to head around the northern tip of
Maui where you'll find a couple more
stops you have to be careful though this
road is a bit sketchy take it slow and
you should be fine
my favorite stop along the sketchy Road
was definitely the olivine pools these
pools are awesome during low tide you're
gonna be able to watch the waves crash
around you while you swim in these
natural volcano pools the view is great
and this is pretty much picture-perfect
Maui but if you see big waves entering
the pools do not swim people have died
here if you're able to exercise caution
you should be fine they are fairly safe
but be smart hopefully by now you've
been able to secure yourself a sunrise
pass to mount Haleakala once you have
your pass get ready for an early morning
just made it to the top of Mount Holly
Acula it is for 51 right now we got up
at 3 a.m.
[Music]
now although you're in Hawaii it is
still super cold on top of the 10,000
foot mountain there's a hut near the top
that you can stand inside while you're
watching the sunrise but I'd still wear
every piece of warm clothing that you
have access to I'm not kidding
it's cold and I'm from Canada after that
take the rest of the day easy and
probably take a nap today is the day
that you're going to tackle the iconic
road to Hana hey Hana what road are we
doing today the road to Hana takes you
around the base of Mount Holly Alcala
you've been to the top you've seen the
Sun Rise and now you're going to wind
around the base and see some of the
coolest spots on the island
[Applause]
now when doing the road to Hana I highly
recommend that you do the reverse road
to Hana and all that means is that we're
going to be doing it backwards now by
doing it backwards you've dodged the
crowds because they do it the other way
and you don't have to worry about
driving the sketchiest part of the road
as it gets dark because we're going to
do it first thing in the morning there
are so many things to do and see along
the road to Hana but here are a few of
my favorites palea Cola National Park
and specifically the ppy Trail was our
first stop that really blew my mind the
PBY trail is a fairly easy four mile
round trip hike that winds you through a
bamboo forest up to a massive 300 foot
waterfall
you'll probably spend two or three hours
here so it does take up a chunk of your
day but I still think it's definitely
worth doing you'll also find the Seven
Sacred Pools in Haleakala National Park
but they were closed while we were there
so hopefully I better love another one
of my favorite stops and probably my
favorite spot on the entire trip was the
Venus pools this is truly one of Maui's
gems it's essentially a cove surrounded
by cliffs and rocks that you can jump
off of water is so warm it's nice and
blue and it's really cool because the
cove has a barrier of rocks so that
breaks the waves as they come in leaving
you with really nice calm water like I
said this was my favorite stop along the
road to Hana and probably my favorite
thing we did a Maui another awesome stop
is the lower Y Khmer Falls it's a really
nice fresh water swimming hole off the
side of the road with some cliff jumping
a waterfall and a rope swing all three
of which I love
as I said there are so many amazing
places along the road to Hana you really
can't go wrong with whatever you end up
doing the only advice I have is to get
up and get started as early as possible
there's no way you'll be able to see
everything but if you're up early enough
you should be able to see what you want
to see before it gets dark on you
honestly this is one of those things
that if you do have an extra day in Maui
you could totally spend two days doing
the road to Hana now to finish off the
trip you can't go to Hawaii without
taking a helicopter ride so that's what
we're gonna do while I was in Maui I
partnered with Pacific heli tours and
they blew me away with their doors off
Molokai tour the pilot was super
informative telling us all the local
stories about Molokai while flying us
alongside the oceanside cliffs where we
saw tons of waterfalls cascading down we
went through valleys over Peaks we did
steep banks over the ocean reefs it was
an unreal experience the helicopter ride
took about an hour so after that we
headed up the can of Pali coast stopping
in Lahaina this is a pretty cool town
it's quite touristy but it has the old
hawaiian town vibe to it still if you're
into walking streets with tons of
shopping and restaurants this is
definitely a place you've got to check
out
swype continuing on from there checking
out some of the other beaches and
fancier resorts out that way we ended up
at Blackrock Beach for some cliff
jumping and it wasn't bad dad where we
make it a trek to I think it's called
Black Rock it's a dump going up there
the jump was pretty nice but if that
doesn't excite you you can probably skip
it because the other beaches that I had
mentioned earlier are much nicer and
there it is guys that is how you travel
Maui in one week or I guess it's
technically six days but with traveling
and stuff for all intents and purposes
it's a week thank you so much for
watching dudes I appreciate every single
one of you so much
and I'll see you all in another one
you
