@@luv2travel2000 We've been going for 20 years. I concur with all his recommendations. Some bring back such Awesome memories!
@@len9483 Awww... that's wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Blessings 🛐
@@luv2travel2000 We're actually leaving for Kaanapali Thursday. I guess I should have added that. I wanted to lose about 10 lbs before going. Planned to lose it for months! I think I've gained about 5 lbs :(.
@@len9483 lol. Yes going on a beach vacay is a great motivator to drop a few pounds. Hope you have a wonderful trip to Maui, Hawai'i!
Our very large church in Denver will be sending donations through convoy of hope! Praying for you all! ❤
Well done video Eric. You represented the island with integrity, though not a native, I think the locals appreciate your thoughtfulness to share your knowledge of the culture. We love to visit and will miss all the special Times in Lahaina, but we know that one day the people will rebuild.
Sending love and Blessings 🙏🏼
I sure do 💯💯😂
{there are no natives .. the only original natives of america are indian & eskimo
tribes ( hawaii locals are indiginous
but not Natives) al🌈ha
@@user-px8cw9qd3p shut up!! 🤣
Native means your parents and family are from there. This pallek isn’t it
Forget about Cosco and shop real food at the Farmers Market. Eat from the farm to the table. Support the farmers and help Maui become self sustainable.
Agreed! But for all those items you can't get at Farmers Market, buy at Costco vs. Times to save yo cash!
totally. F costco...Farmers markets are amazing. Fed myself and my GF for three days for $45 total.
marc atkinson you can’t get a 1.5L of vodka for $20 at the farmers market
Also he did recommend Kimo's in Lahaina, but failed to mention to get the Hula Pie when you are there!
Ana, they resell produce from Costco at Farmers Markets half of the time, most of the produce at Farmers Markets isnt even local on Maui. They cell Maui Gold pineapples from Costco on all farm stands.
You forgot one of the most things, and that's to CLEAN UP AFTERYOURSELF when leaving the beach, especially plastic containers. 🙏🤙
No kidding. I see so much trash even on the side of the roadways and in Parks. Tons of empty beer bottles. I think to myself...really? Throwing out trash into Paradise. Come on people. Clean up after yourselves. (Didn't your Mom teach you mo bettah?)
Proud of my boy scout sons who practice "leave no trace". Wherever we go, we try to leave it better than we found it... and practiced that when we visited Maui in June. It was beautiful... and should stay that way.
HD FXDBI all trash .. and to use only coral reef friendly sunscreen
The locals litter more than the tourists unfortunately....
Living on the Oregon Coast, I would have to agree that we also have trash all over on the side of the roads but we have lots of transients and 99 percent most likely comes from the locals. I think most tourists respect the places the go so, at least I do, and clean up after themselves and are mindful of that kind of stuff. There are some I'm sure as is everywhere but Maui reminds me of the Oregon Coast quite a bit in some places. Can't wait to go visit in April. By far the best video I've seen on all the must see site topics. Thank you for the tips!
Thank you so much for this video. My family and I are from Lynchburg, Virginia. I planned most of my trip using your tips and ideas. We are currently in Maui and we are loving every second.
Great ideas for trip options. You might consider putting captions with the spelling of each of the places on the screen or in the description text so we can find these locations on the map. Thanks for the insights!
Yes please! I'm having trouble RN. Haha
I agree
This is a REALLY helpful video, esp the headsup about the motion sickness. Really appreciate this. Thank you.
Awesome tips I’m from Hawaii, but I love how you emphasized on respect of the ocean nature and people of the island, thank you for that and I’m really appreciating the tips and advice, God bless 🙏🏽🤙🏽 Aloha
Great video. Looking forward to watching again with the whole family before we leave for the Valley Isle next week. It’s our second time but our 4YO daughter’s first time and I can’t wait to share our love of this place with her. We’re a pretty reserved family and everywhere we went, from ka’anapali to Hana, most people were genuinely kind and welcoming. My 10YO son (and me too) loved body boarding all day at Napili; we are going to try DT Flemings per your suggestion this time. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this all together - mahalo 🙏🥰
My pleasure. Maui is such a blessing for parents and kids to do fun amazing stuff together.....especially in the ocean. Have a great trip!!!
Hawaii Real EstateORG headed back home tmw feeling refreshed and renewed. DT Fleming was awesome yesterday; the waves were addictive!! Thanks again!
I am crying. My grandparents brought me to a lot of the places you said. I was to young to really appreciate it. But since they have died. I'm such a crying 😢..... Insert swear word. This really has made my day. I fully appreciate.
I saved this video for almost 2 years!! We booked our timeshare (we own a week at Kahana Falls) back in July 2019, way before the Pandemic -- a year before you even did this great video. We are so excited to fly out in less than a week -- April 22-29, 2021 -- and my #1 goal, besides to have a FANTASTIC vacation and well-needed one at that, is to go home with a tan like YOU have! LOL
Aloha Steven! Thanks for the great comment. Did you get that tan?
Thanks for the honest no-BS review, “local” or not after 10 yrs.
wdym "local"
My friend and I have been stressing over which island to visit. I think your video has helped us make our decision. These tips have been so helpful. Thank you very much!!
Ella Ess my pleasure. Let me know if you have ANY questions about Maui!
Been to Maui three times and done most everything you talked about, but I loved the energy and passion of your video. Love all things Hawaii, and your tips are excellent. Thanks for sharing. Aloha.
My pleasure. Thank you!!
Our daughter did a surf camp with Maui Surfer Girls a couple of years ago (at 15). They made her feel so confident & comfortable. This year, she took 2 private lessons w/Nick from Island Style Adventures.
She improved so much. She’s fine the zip line tour & you’re right, it’s fantastic.
Scuba divers & those wanting to try it for the first time- call Brent at BRB diving. He’s a great guy. Took our 15 year old out, who was very unsure, but she did it!! I hadn’t been scuba diving in years, but Brent helped me get my sea legs back! 🤿
Thanks for all of your tips- I wrote them all down for next time.
Aloha JustJudi JJB345! That's good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience.
We’ve been going to Maui for years now and I think I’ve done everything you mentioned and ate at every restaurant you mentioned. You are 100% right
Aloha Nathan! Glad they were spot on!
Just over a month to go and I will be visiting for the first time. Been to Ohau twice and loved it. Maui was highly recommended. Thanks for the tips.
Arkas my pleasure. I hope you have the time of your life!!
Great great video Eric! Thanks for all the great info...and that tip at the end was GOLDEN! My wife gets motion sickness pretty easy. Mahalo!
I loved Maui, only spent 2 days there while on a Hawaiian cruise but we did A LOT of the things you covered here. Love your energy, you're living aloha, I can see it! (so jealous)
I’ve been 5 times and spent one month each time.
Thanks for the tips! I live on on the big island so I know the value tips given by residents. Continue to spread the aloha spirit braddha 🤙🏽 Remember the island residents are loving people; however, if you do not show respect for them, they will not be respectful to you. There’s a great deal history behind the bad blood between locals and tourists so it best to be mindful of the aina (land) and its inhabitants
Very true Cuz. Iam British and feel ashamed of what my ancestors did to Hawaii . Iam married to a philipina and every time we go to Hawaii we feel like Hawaii is calling and welcoming us back , my wife has many relatives in Hawaii maybe it their mana call us .
Very informative video, best I've seen so far in prep for my September vacay there. Never been to Maui, so definitely needed the advice. Appreciate it very much!
My pleasure. And Mahalo for da Aloha!
Just got round trip tickets from boise to Maui for $300 for 8 days during the 3rd week of august! Plus an airbnb in Kihei for $120 a night with a kitchen with ocean view! Can’t freakin wait!
Hope you'll enjoy your stay, SlayBy!🤙🤙🤙
There’s something about Eric West!!! Mahalo Eric for being you.
Aloha The Athena Channel! I appreciate it so much. Thank you!
Fiance and I are planning honeymoon on Maui next year. This was super helpful, great video!
Thank you for your information on sea turtles. I'm an ex-Navy diver who used to live on Oahu and am very familiar to shore entry points along beaches. Your tips will help me show my wife (an extreme turtle fan) great snorkeling experiences.
That’s great news! The close encounter with marine life is truly an amazing experience where time stands still and you are briefly released from the cares of this world. Glad to be of help!!
I watch a lot of Maui videos and, in my opinion, this is one of the best! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you Carrie! 🤙
I love Hawaii! Maui is an awesome place! I wanna come back to visit Maui again! I first visited there back in April 2016.
We love your posts and adore Maui! Have ginger candy with you on those boat trips. It can help ease the urge to vomit and the dizzy feeling while in choppy waters.
We had poke at Foodland today and are SO glad we did! Thanks for the recommendation! We're going to go back for more.
Aloha Jodi! Thank you. Glad you find this video helpful during your stay.
We found several of these things on our own. We love Haleakela at sunset! Mahalo!
What. A great tip video . The guys smile is absolutely contagious I like him smiled thru the whole video . Wonder what the world would be like if everybody smiled like this man does you just can’t help but smile back . A WORLD FULL OF SMILES ! What a great idea . Hey thanks for the video
Aloha Tracy! This is one of the best positive feedback I ever read so far. I really appreciate it. Mahalo!
Went to Nalus an hour after watching the recommendation. It was AWESOME!! Perfect perfect perfect. Thanks.
Aloha Steve! Thanks for the positive feedback.
They had someone playing/singing and what appeared to be a hula dancing club perform. They were awesome! I don't know how often there is live music but it helped for a perfect evening. The wait for an inside table took probably 25 minutes but it was certainly worth the wait and we had live music while we waited.
i live in Canada. I love tropical area~!!! miss you all
I have watched your video about 10 times now. it's excellent. Very informative and your enthusiasm is amazing. Thank you
Wow, thank you! 🤙
Great vid, looking forward to my trip in May 2019 Mahalo!!
Thanks for pos feedback and comment! Much appreciated. Mahalo from Maui!
Moving to Maui in October, and it is SO fun to hear what we should do, and also learn where popular spots are so we can avoid tourists! 😅
Did you make it over yet??
Super helpful. We couldn’t do everything, but we did a bunch, and it really felt like we experienced Maui. Great tips!
Glad it was helpful Joseph! 🤙
Hey brah! Great job helping people make the most of their time on Maui! We welcome visitor's to Lanai whether they come by the ferry or some of the tour boats. Come to Husome local lupoe Beach (great snorkeling) and take a ride up to the City and enjoy our local style restaurants and shops! Mahalo and aloha for your video:)
You’re amazing !! I’m
Going
To Maui in March !
Me too !
I ever lived in Maui island for 5 years and I really blessed ever lived there. Maui is the most beautiful place in the world.
Great great video Eric! Love the info and details! Keep up good work! 💪💪 Aloha from Cali!
Wow! I’m so glad I came across your site…my wife and I will be traveling there for the first time this year and was a little overwhelmed with what to do. Love your suggestions and we will be referring to this vid for direction. Thank you!
Have fun Rob! Mahalo!🤙🤙
Most awsome trip advice! Thanks!
BRIGITTE RENAUD his enthusiasm is infectious
Thank you for the Whale Watching dates. We were here for New Years, 2019. We did see a couple of fins and even a glance of a baby whale. I'll have to come back and watch the big whale tales!!! You're very entertaining too!!!
Aloha Carla! Yes!! Come back for “Whale Soup” They are just the most amazing creatures!
Thanks for the tips! Been going to Maui for 26 years just about every year! My favorite island for sure! Honeymooned in Lahaina in 1983 and just fell in love with Maui🌴 I highly recommend for awesome fish plates go to Cafe Olei! We always make a few trips there! Such great prices and the most delicious plate lunches! Also, since we love golfing.. try Pukalani Golf course! A hidden gem and so much fun to play! Don’t forget Charley Young beach to catch a beautiful sunset! Enjoy everyone ~ hang loose and keep smiling🥰🌴🌊🌈🌺
Aloha babiejo59! Thank you so much.
I’m planning a trip to Maui this year and your videos have been super helpful!!!
I love the video thx for the tips.
There's a Whole Foods in Kahalui but if you're on the North Shore hit up Mana Foods on Baldwin Ave!
Yes. Mana foods is THE BEST. Great prices too! It’s like the “original” Whole Foods
How about Down to Earth, local owned, great salad and food bar.
Mana Foods is the real deal! 😍
Whole foods is the same beast if not worse.
Mahalo fot this tip. 🤙🌺
The Poke at Foodland is where it’s at too :)
Thank you for the video Eric. I will definitely use your information on my next Maui trip.
Glad to help. fb.me/21Iu3EYAJZn7Iks This my Dad's AirBnb condo if you need a place to stay
Best - to the point - video without a sales pitch! Thanks!
Mahalo!
Mediterranean Grill food truck has great food and very reasonable prices
Locals eat there. Enjoy your trip and love everyone
Thank you Eric for your awesome videos and channel. There is so much information concentrated in 15 minutes only ! I read all the comments from the local with the extra tips and got even more information.
We'll go beginning of September for 1 week and so much to do, to eat ... can't wait !
NB: do not listen the haters, you are doing a fantastic job.
Mahalos for dah Aloha my bruhdah. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Have a great trip!!
This was very helpful tips!! We had a great time following these guidelines 🙏
Aloha Eyewe! Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
I'm from the desert. Tropical rain looks like heaven.
Aloha Andre! True!
Thank you so much for the video. The name of the areas rolled off your tongue. I don't know about everyone else but I have no idea how to spell all those great tips and places you mentioned. A cheat sheet would be nice.
Look in the Description box above. He has included many of his suggestions with a website link.
Aloha 🤙🌺
Cool, been to all from last two trips :) Moving there in 3 weeks!
Sweet. Do you know where yet?
Wow, fancy seeing you here Mic! Great vid btw Eric!
MicBergsma Did you make it?
mharmiecue 😄🤙🏼
Hawaii Real EstateORG hey Eric, missed your first reply... yes we made it here in Paia, looking for a place more like in central or south
Great informative video. Thanks for making and posting.
Older men always give the best traveling tips, love this guys passion
I appreciate that,@JuniorRich916!🤙🤙🤙
Some good info for next visit. Thx
I lived on Maui and most of what he says is true. I would add though that there's a farmers market at UH Maui that's good to go to and Lahaina can be dangerous at night, especially around the banyan tree...
Thank you for the tips 💕
My son lives on Maui. We have been lucky to visit him.I agree with all of your advice. Lucky you to live there now!!!
We hope to visit next year at this time. Thanks so much ....Very helpful......!
Aloha Donna! Oh, that's great! Hope to see you around when you come to visit the island.
Thanks for all the Tips I saw a lot videos but this is the best....September we fly to maui👏👏👏👏
While at Costco, be sure to buy a few bags of root chips, made in hawaii by Hawaiian Chip Company. You can only get them in Hawaii and they are delicious and healthy for you. I buy extra bags so I can bring them back to California with me. YUMMMM!!!
And Eric - Thanks for this informative video !!
what are they roots of?
@Lan Anh Hoang Thi Normally Yes. Thats why its a "membership club" But I heard that if you go to the one in Maui and tell the guy at the door who checks for membership cards that you are on vacation and then you do a hula dance and sing "Tiny Bubbles" or the theme to " Hawaii 5-0" they will make an exception. Please let me know how it goes. And post your video here.
@Lan Anh Hoang Thi you could also ask for a one day pass.
Great fish tacos at Coconuts in Kihei. Check out the local car rental companies. They're much nicer, cheaper, and won't make you stand in line for two hours at the airport. Also, when you arrive at your condo, check out the closets and storage. Previous renters will leave all kinds of things behind. I always find beach chairs, boogie boards, even coolers and sandals. Maui no ka oi!
Good point
I’ve heard horror stories about how long people have to wait to get a rental car at the airport. Definitely go with a local company sometimes even deliver right to the parking lot!
A number of condos offer boogie boards, beach chairs and coolers for your use. It belongs to them not renters who left them behind.
Nice video. Love how it seemed you were done and then you jumped back in with another tip.
I actually just forgot that last Tip! But thank you!!
Wonderful video with really good advice! I've been to many of the places you've mentioned and have enjoyed them all so much! Of course some more than others but there's most definitely something for everyone in the places he's mentioned!!! 👌 Good advice on safety measures too. Thanks!!!
Aloha Deborah! Glad it was helpful!
Disagree on going to Costco right from the airport- there is temptation to some seedy individuals, to break into vehicles that have luggage in them. Either go there after u have dropped off your luggage at your destination, or if possible, have someone stay back in your car while other folks do the shopping. Break ins are just a way of life (everywhere) now days.
Almost 10 years on Maui and I’ve never had anything stolen. 6 months in LA and my motorcycle was stolen twice and my car once. And that was in the 90’s
really? wtf
For sea or car sickness you can take ginger root vitamins and they work better than the a Dramamine they don't make you tired and they're reasonably priced at any vitamin shoppe or Walmart etc it even works on cruise ships
Great feedback and comment. Mahalos!
@@hawaiirealestateorg we're coming to Maui in August I can't wait it'll be my first time! I love your videos very informative
Our fave Honu spot is Kalepolepo beach park. A tiny little beach with a shallow area good for beginner snorkelling. It's behind the Whale Conservation building on South Kehei Rd (726?). Every morning when we've been there, there are usually at least 3. Under the water we have seen about a dozen at a time.
Thank You so much for this amazing info.. makes it easier to plan out our trip!
My pleasure!! Here is a link to my Dad's condo in case you need a great place to stay that is also affordable fb.me/21Iu3EYAJZn7Iks
Aww man you left out the cliff house!!!. Great video
At the Montage?
Do not let them know about Cliff House!!
Thanks Eric! Nicely done ✅😁🍕🍺🧁.
You rock! Was in Maui in Feb. coming again in October! Great tips, brother! ✊🏽☀️
Aloha Myndfulness! Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Eric! Great video with lots of tips. I travel to Maui frequently and even I learned something! One tip you didn't mention is to respect the locals. I see visitors trespass, treat locals badly and just generally act obnoxious. Just a thought for your next video!! Mahalo for a great job!
Phil M most ppl you meet here aren’t even from Maui. Don’t give ppl a reason to be nasty to you ;)
Phil M that’s bullshit. If anything, Maui is overly friendly to shitty tourists compared to other islands. Maybe YOU are the problem.
@@freshprinceofdarkness Too true, while there are some locals that are just plain mean because that's how some people are. If you treat the locals with respect then you will get the spirit of Aloha back.
Wow. I'm always courteous and friendly and love to smile. Guess what? I feel a lot of resentment from locals, like they would like to take me out to sea and watch me drown LOL! Most with any percentage of Hawaiian blood are not welcoming in their hearts. That's what I FEEL.
I'm glad to leave and go back home To The MAINLAND! But guess what, I'll go back again because of the beauty of the landscape and relocated friendly "residents".
@Phil M Gotta agree. They have zero love for us except for our money. They see tourists as the ones that destroyed their island. They are correct, but no reason to treat us badly for what generations of tourists before us did to your beautiful paradise.
Thanks for the video I’m leaving to travel Hawaii in 15 days but going to do things a little different, going to be camping on the beaches and staying with locals using couch surfing I’m 19 and this is the start of my journey across the earth maybe even going to start a CZcams travel channel
Sweet. Hawaii is an amazing place to shoot video!
Invest in a rode micro mic that comes with the wind sock. You might need a separate camera app on your phone to use a TRS microphone or aka external microphone. I had a really cheap "action camera" from Amazon for like 100$ that came with a ton of accessories to shoot underwater. I bet you couldn't tell the difference between the China brand and gopro. If you review them they'll send you extra batteries. Total of 4! I had an extendo pole for my snorkeling stuff. Really helped with some creative angles and close up's to fish. Costco is the cheapest place on the island for memory cards. I had a gimble for my phone but none of the buttons worked for Android. Still stabalized but I couldn't do panning time lapses.
Best wishes for the new year and on your journey!
How was it?
What a fun uplifting video to watch and obviously you love it there! Thanks Eric! Watched this a snow was falling outside and 24 degrees (typical weather for us)
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin, aloha
Great tips. Thanks. Excited now for 2021!🤙🏼
You are welcome!
"I've lived here for almost 10 years" :) Welcome newbie!
MH Mahalo!
I have to disagree with your claim about staying on the leeward side. We always stay in upcountry or north shore and the weather there is gorgeous.
Yes, it rains there, but it's short and warm.
If you're from Canada or northern USA, you'll love it. The temperatures are nice, the entire area smells like a tropical flower garden, and the roadside fruit/vegetable stands are everywhere. Take advantage of them (and don't short change them, these people sell their produce at a very reasonable price so don't be a jerk. Haole already have a tough time there, don't make it worse for us).
Ima Pseudonym Aloha Ima! Good point actually. Not everyone demands constant sunshine. I actually lived in Kula for 4 years and loved the weather. It was the hill driving and distance to the ocean that got me back to the leewardside. Where do you usually stay when you are on the north shore or upcountry?
@@hawaiirealestateorg Either Haiku, or Makawao.
This last october, we were staying in a house right near Pauwela. Lovely area.
I just wish we could afford a small place there. But, I'm not a millionaire, and never will be. So, visiting is as close as we'll ever get.
Pukalani is our favorite spot to stay. Off the tourist track and convenient to Makawaeo. Love the Pukalani State Park. It has remarkable views including a swimming facility, skate park and numerous walking, running paths. Love Serpicos in Pukalani for great Italian fare, especially the pizza and eggplant. They have Jersey roots, enough said. We also like to hike Olinda Reserve which is a nice ride up from Pukalani. Finally, the farmers market in the shopping center on Saturday mornings is a great way to support the locals. Safe travels and God Bless.
@@richardsiderko6239 Agreed! We make the trip to Kahului to attend the market on Saturdays. Not only farmers, but many artists and crafts persons there. Its a great way to support the local economy!
Thank you so much this was VERY helpful as I am planning a trip in the summer!!
Mahalo for the Aloha! Please come back and tell us how your trip went and any tips you have for folks.
Hawaii Real EstateORG I definitely will! 🤗
Thanks so much for the tips and great info! The wife and I will be visiting soon. Awesome content on your videos. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! 🤙
heading to Maui from Canada tomorrow...thanks for the tips Eric!!
Safe travels and I hope you have a wonderful vacation. Eh.
@@hawaiirealestateorg Mahalo!! heh, have you seen any whales yet? I'm staying in a condo in Kaanapali
@@michellecormack2595 We got back a few weeks ago. There were rumors of some early whales being spotted near Kahoʻolawe while were were there, so it sounds like it's going to be a good year to watch the whales!
Sir. You look so fit and healthy. I live in the Midwest. Where im from men your age don’t look like you AT ALL!!
Well shootz den. Mahalos for the complement. Tell those boys to lay off the white flour and suds and come to Hawaii and rose waves for a year. It’s all in what you do and what you eat!
You tell him brada
planning on going with my best friend we're just young looking for a really great time I've always wanted to go to Hawaii something in my soul has always brought me there and this video is life-changing because the first three things you said is exactly what crossed my mind ♥️❤️🤷aloha
Amazing Video!!! Very informative and your enthusiasm is incredible!!! Makes me want to do everything you talk about, unfortunately I would need more time!!!
Just come back more often!!
Da Kitchen, and Tasaka Guri Guri
Da Kitchen is gone, died by CV-19... both places
@@gary0085 da kitchen in Kihei is still there! Great food
😋 Yum! Mahalo 🤙🌺
Honokowai Okazuya & Deli best place to eat!
Tanks. Will check 'em out!
Been here 10yrs and you only now going to check them out?
Yes, but cash only so stop by the ATM!
Main reason why I come back every year...
Great video! Can't wait to be back on Maui!
Thanks for the great Video. Very informative! Will be using this information when I go to Maui This September.
Glad it was helpful! Mahalo Nick!
Haleakala sunrise is so breathtaking. But darn, I learned I had altitude sickness. Was so sick and can’t do it again. But I understand it’s rare. Hana is the best! And, yes, each beach has it’s own personality! I recommend Secret Beach, but I’m not telling where it is! You are right about the sunscreen. Last but not least, think Ma’alaea for a central location and BUDGET. Aloha!
Love Secret Beach as well. That whole area is epic!
@@bjbhehir over-rated and VERY COLD!
Sansei in Kihei is fabulous! owner made special rolls for us last year when we were there. We will always support them on our trips. very sad to hear you say that.
I’m glad you’ve had a good experiences there. It’s not that I found it ever to be bad....it’s just that Kapalua is so great. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Eric, for the Tips! Flights are booked for July!!

Omg I wish I watched this before I went to maui 2 weeks sgo.
Mahalos! Be sure to share with anyone you know planning a trip!
Great video! But please, only REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN...and stay off what is left of our coral.
Thank you for all the tips, great video!
Thank you! We're coming in June and I just can't wait!!!! Aloha!!
Aloha Natty! Have fun! 🤙
Thank you. I'm looking forward to moving to Hawaii in the near future. Call it a calling or something spiritual...because I've never even been and I've been saying it since I was a child and now I'm 47
Elizabeth Short don’t move here!
@@VERZA808 thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it and your feelings are important in my decision.
It is expensive so be aware of that. Renting a bedroom will be approx 800 a month. A studio? 1100-1200 a month.
Also our infrastructure is really not going to sustain the increasing population on maui. We have one main highway, two lanes...to get from West side to east side....if you dont absolutely have to commute for your job, avoid it.
Also we're having some water crises. Our aquifers are not doing well. Injection well leakages are killing the coral.
I want to get out because im kind of pessimistic about where maui is headed.
Biggest tip? Make sure you can land a GOOD job. Many people come here enticed by the idea of living in paradise and then when they have to work 3 jobs to survive and have no free time to enjoy the paradise they envisioned, theyre miserable.
And dont plan on raising kids here unless you want some of the worst public education in the country.
I dont hate it here. In fact im grateful very often that im here. I just want to temper your potential romanticism. But if you're called, you're called. My boyfriend felt called here and met me and we're the loves of each others lives
@@LipSyncLover Thank you for the helpful information. It's always better to hear from someone living it rather than from a realtor that's just selling it. I do appreciate you taking the time to respond. I wish you nothing but happiness in your life and your relationship.
@@elizabethshort6347 of course, happy to help. And thank you much
