    My wife and I got back from Maui almost a week ago. I had never been to Hawaii before. We had so much fun and enjoyed so much beauty. Along our drives we stopped off at small indie general stores buying up what we could. I checked an entire suitcase back to the mainland filled with hot sauces, banana breads, coffee and snacks. We supported the local breweries as well by guzzing down gallons of delicious beers. I'll never forget that trip as long as I live. Kauai is next on our list. We didn't make the drive to Hana as you mentioned is very long but we will next time. Great video. Mahalo!

    Wow! I cannot wait! My wife is taking me here for my 30th birthday. We've been to Oahu and got married there. Although we want to go back to Oahu we thought it would be best to experience another island and go back to Oahu with the kids. Looks like we're going to keep a very busy day on this road so won't plan anything else on the same day. haha Hawaii is truly amazing as well as the people. We wasn't ready to go back home. Our kids and I still talk about the day of returning back. It'll always hold a special place in our hearts since that is where my wife and I became one. I look forward to trying to coconut shrimp and fries at the Market Place.

    Hey Josh great video, it is my understanding that you now need a reservation in the state park. If one was to leave about 8 o’clock to start their journey and make multiple stops on the way not all of them but multiple when do you think would be the best time to make a reservation at the state park? They have from 7:30 to 1030, 1030 to 1230, 1230 to 3 PM? Just wondering how long it would take to get there with stops. Thanks so much for your help.

      There’s parking there. The street parking along the fence is no longer allowed. Theres someone who offers paid parking a little ways down. However, the residents of Hāna don’t support people traveling to Waioka (Venus Pond) as it requires you trespass to access the area.

    Unfortunately Hana Ranch Restaurant is operated by Hyatt corporation and DO NOT support locals at all (sad). Your much better off going to Bruddah Hut or Tony's Place food trucks. Tony's Place is the newest and best discoveries I found in Hana great local food and amazing ambience on the property down from Hamoa Beach. Tony's place is next to Caroline's Fruit Stand.

    Josh I have stopped at #3 several times and if the water is not running crazy we have got across the stream/river however we can never seem to locate the waterfall and the swing or rope ladder. Do you have a map by chance? I can see the field from the patch of hidden eucalyptus trees at the corner and I realize that field is actually the falls but can't ever find them once I enter the bamboo forest.

      Aloha Josh!
      Please do not mention the kailua bamboo forest. It has been serious problem for us residents on the Esatend of Mau. Visitors all park on pullover spots that were made for us residents to have them pullover so we can pass them. It, has been a major serious issue for us for over 30 years and with all u people that put on a video to go Hana, makes us residents even more angry and
      Upset. There's all more people that puts out their own videos about the Hana trip and, u all tell them to go where their not suppose to go ( CAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL TO DO SO.
      SO, PLEASE RESPECT OUR AINA AND OUR PRESIOUSE
      RESOURES, CULTURE AND THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE THAT COME FROM THE ISLAND OF MAUI.

    Please please please listen to me! Do NOT drive around the entire island just do 1/2 way. It’s brutal, dangerous ( super dangerous), long, and an anxiety attack waiting to happen. You WILL BE ON SMALL TINY GRAVEL ROAD. The curves are so dangerous that a head on collision đŸ’„ can easily happen. Hawaiians that don’t like tourists purposely drive super fast on the road where you should be going 5 miles an hour. They zip past you at 60 miles an hour! The road isn’t big enough for 2 cars. Rental car agencies may void your contract ( rumor has it) if you take your car there ( cuz it’s off roading).. I recommend going 1/2 way and then please do yourself a favor and turn back around!!! I made the mistake of finishing it and I regret it! It’s over 600 windy roads, over 49 or 59 one way bridges, small tiny roads, 90 degree turns ( many of them). Please don’t do it! And do not drive in the dark! It’s not safe!

    Stick to the approved nature trails with brown signs from the DLNR, County, or US Parks. And stop it with the Venus ponds. Can nothing stay sacred? Does every last piece of Maui have to be given to the tourists? And it’s Ke‘anae (Kay-a-nye). And it’s HULI (who-lee) chicken. Ever wonder where locals go to get away from tourism that they are beholden to every day? Yeah, we’re wondering too since all those places are now for the tourists.

      @paigeherrin29 Pƙed 2 lety

      @@AARDFD I didn't mean sacred as in holy (although...). I meant it in a colloquial way. I'm just saying, many of the spots that were shown, were generally only known to people that live here until about 5-10 years ago. It was a slow build up so that now it's never even worth it to go. There were plenty of spots already taken by tourosts... and cool, ok, but bamboo forest, venus pools, and 13 crossings were ours. I swear, there are no secret spots left anymore.
      Being from Florida, when i was a kid in the 70s, Blue Springs and innertubing on the Ichetucknee had nothing to do with Disney or Daytona tourists. Now I look up videos of some of our old secret watering holes of my childhood and they're f*cking choked with tourists.
      Theres a few spots that should be reserved for local childhood memories. On maui, we already give almost everything over to tourism. I get it..., "the economy".I line here too, after all. But I'm just saying videos like these rob us of the few remaining spots without tourists. Or mass amounts of them. Most arent even there to enjoy the place. They just see other rental.cars and get fear-of-missing-out syndrome.and choke up the roads and shoulders. Who wears their whitest tourist outfit to a muddy watering hole? No one, but we can no park and go there anymore cause a tourist, all in white, needs a selfie of 50 identical rental cars on the side of the road.
