6 BEST THINGS TO DO IN KIHEI
Facing west, in the lee of Maui's vast Haleakala, Kihei is a beach destination with few equal.
There's consistently hot and dry weather, exciting panoramas of nearby islands and a long string of gorgeous white-sand beaches. In fact, you have so many amazing beaches close by that it seems unfair to leave some out of this video.
Kihei Maui is Open! | Here are the Kihei restaurants and shops open Nov 19, 2020
Kihei, Maui was back up and running once the shelter-in-place ended, for the most part. Most restaurants, hotels, and shops are open as it is as much a local town as a resort area on #Maui.
#Kihei feels more lively and active compared to Lahaina and Wailea for Maui resort areas. It is fun to go to the triangle for the bars and restaurants or hit up the many shops around town.
Kihei is the place to visit this Christmas and winter. While most things are open, not everything is open.
The rumor is most businesses are waiting till November 22nd to open with Thanksgiving and the holiday surge of visitors. So stay tuned for more things opening around the island.

Wailea Maui is Open! | Here are the Wailea resorts, restaurants, & shops open Nov 25, 2020
Wailea, Maui is back open! All the resorts are open and welcoming visitors back in a safe and socially distanced environment. The beaches are open and that is all that really matters, right?
The resorts are open but it is very quiet in Wailea as visitors have not come back in numbers. That means limited services at the resorts and having beaches to yourself, for now. We were surprised to see more than 75% of The Shops at Wailea were open. Remember to always book ahead for restaurant reservations and activities on Maui because while there are few visitors, tour operators and restaurants can only go to 50% capacity.
Wailea is the place to visit this Christmas and winter. The fun, vibrant atmosphere of Wailea will return for the holidays.
The rumor is most businesses are waiting till November 22nd to open with Thanksgiving and the holiday surge of visitors. So stay tuned for more things opening around the island.

Waihe'e Ridge Trail - The BEST Dayhike in Maui, Hawaii
#maui #hawaii #waihee #travel
Hiking Maui’s BEST hiking trail, Waihe’e Ridge Trail, is a must when visiting Maui, Hawaii. Few visitors venture off the beaches to get up into the mountains to see a totally different side of Maui, but we can say it’s a must do if you love nature! Even if the weather is less than ideal (like it was for us) the Waihe’e Ridge hike is 100% worthwhile. Go prepared for lots of mud and rain and have fun! Afterwards we recommend stopping for dinner at Paia Fish Market to finish off a day of fun. :)

Hiking in Maui: Waihee Ridge Trail
This week, Kari and I took on a 4 mile round trip hike up Waihee Ridge Trail on Maui.
This is a good challenge hike and can be slick and dangerous if wet. Be careful as someone had to be picked up by a helicopter after a fall while we were hiking!
If you want to feel like you are walking in the clouds, you'll find yourself surrounded on this trail.

WONDERFUL Waihee Ridge Trail Hike Maui Hawaii 2023
Absolutely beautiful trail and one of the best hikes I have ever done in Hawaii or anywhere else. The views are extremely beautiful! Unfortunately, we did the hike in running shoes that had no tread and the trail was very wet with occasional rain. I feel at least four times pretty hard, but no injuries. I would recommend wearing hiking boots or shoes, but definitely make this part of your to do list while in Maui!

The Best Trails in Maui - Part III
Lahaina Harbor Front Street Walk
Planted in front of the harbor in 1873, the Banyan tree is one of the largest in the United States and one of the best attractions in Maui. Sprawling across two thirds of an acre, providing for shades for people and animals alike, this banyan tree is a one gigantic tree with multiple roots. If you are there the second or the fourth weekend, you get to join the “Art in the Park” events of arts and crafts.
The waterfront trail is literally a walk in the part with docks, boats, shops, and bands along the way.
Kihei Ocean Front Trail – Best kept secret
You won’t be able to google it because it doesn’t officially exist.
However, you can walk from Keaka Beach Par all the way to Makena Beach. Most of the walk is sandy beaches, but there are several places that are very rocky, impossible to walk over bear footed. A pair of good Aqua shoes are necessary if you feel adventurous.
But for most people, taking small detour along Kihei Highway is highly recommended.
Along this unofficial trail, you get to see the ocean views, rocky shores, modern hotels, and people relaxing under the sun in their own ways!
Wailea Beach Path
A concrete onshore walkway winding through some of the most expensive hotels and resorts in Maui, this trail offers beautiful oceans views, well maintained paths with bushes on both sides, and a view of modern living in style.
Lahaina Pali Trail
This trail can disappoint hikers if they don’t know where to enter. The southern trailhead is wrong place to start. Part of trail is covered the by steel net. And it narrows to about a foot. On the one hand is steep mountain slope, on the other, a perpendicular cliff, looking down to a four-lane highway way with cars swooshing by. But once you reach the to top, you will be rewarded with beautiful ocean views that you won’t be able to appreciate when you are on the ground.
13 CROSSINGS Trail - Makamakaole Stream & Falls, West-MAUI, USA (4K)
Makamakaole stream on West Maui, Hawaii, can be found not far from Waihee. The trail, aka knows as 13 Crossings Trail is roughly 2 miles long, follows the river bed and is aptly named for you have to cross the stream bed repeatedly. At low water level, crossings posse no problems, however, since the possibility of rising water levels due to flash floods is ever present on Maui, care has to be taken none the less. Other than that this trail offers the chance to also walk through a bamboo forest, smaller but otherwise similar to the one you encounter on the Pipiway Trail on the east side of Maui. Like everywhere on Hawaiian islands, car break ins at the parking area seem to be a frequent occurrence. The trail, and even more so the parking area has, in the last years, become crowded.
