Best Luau on Maui? Depends on Who You Ask

Amy at Secrets of Maui — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 04:20:10 +0000

I’m on several Maui Facebook groups and at least once a week someone asks what is the best luau on Maui. The comments that follow usually go back and forth between two options and looks something like this: Old Lahaina Luau Feast at Lele Old Lahaina Luau is the best luau on Maui! Feast...

Hurry to My Favorite West Maui Beach…Early!

Amy at Secrets of Maui — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 23:26:38 +0000

Kapalua Beach might just be my favorite beach in all of Maui. White, perfect sand. Calm, clear water. Bathrooms. Kayak rentals. And some trees on the north end for natural shade. A turtle often comes in pretty shallow at Kapalua, so that’s fun for kids (and adults) to check out. Unfortunately, parking is limited, rain...

My Perfect Maui Sunset

I’ve already mentioned that Ulua Beach in Wailea is one of my favorite all-around beaches in South Maui. While I love it during the day, Ulua Beach at sunset is my absolute favorite. The grassy lava point with palm trees and the large lava rocks scattered in the sand make for gorgeous and interesting sunset...

Lunch (& Happy Hour) with a Beach View

I know I’m on vacation when I am enjoying a cold adult beverage at lunch with a beautiful view on the beach. In Maui, it is illegal to drink alcohol on the beach, so if you aren’t staying at a hotel and want to feel a cold bottle in your hand or drink a fruity...

Turtles and Surfers and Cows … Oh My!

Amy at Secrets of Maui — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 03:23:14 +0000

Ho’okipa Beach on the north shore of Maui alongside the Hana Highway (a few miles past Paia) is perhaps the most renowned windsurfing site in the world, but it has more! It also provides a great vantage point to watch local surfers and kite surfers enjoying the big waves and the beach is usually covered...

My Favorite Restaurant on Maui

If you ask someone who has been to Maui what their favorite fine dining restaurant is, they will most likely answer Mama’s Fish House. I’d give you the same answer. We’ve been every year for the past 15 years and have never been disappointed. It’s a bit of a drive from most resort areas and...

Haleakala Sunrise…or Romantic Sunset?

Amy at Secrets of Maui — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 21:58:10 +0000

If you plan to watch the sunrise at Haleakala, be sure to plan ahead! About a year ago, Haleakala National Park implemented a reservation program in response to steadily increasing traffic and overcrowding at the summit. The 150 parking spots available during the sunrise reservation period (from 3 to 7 a.m.) generally sell out in...
