Food Scene

This brew pub serves food and beer. They have the coolest bar around - it has an ice tray to keep your beer cold! MauiBrewCo is stumbling distance from our condo. We eat here weekly! Try the prime rib french dip. The tacos are great, the sliders are very good too. Best part is that they have about 20 of their own beers on tap. Can be kind of noisy! Expect to wait in line too! No reservations but service is fast.

The running joke is that the China Boat is the #1 rated Chinese Restaurant in all of Maui. Thankfully this is true, however we're not sure if that's because we haven't seen another Chinese restaurant or it's really that good. Candied Walnut Prawns. I can eat the entire plate! Best part = Almost directly across the street from the condo!

Probably the best sushi on Maui. There are two locations. Luckily, there's one about 2 blocks from our condo. The prices are high but the portions are big. Check out their T-shirt selection = Mi-so-phat / She-so-phat!

Best BBQ on the island. Also the best bourbon selection on the island. Prices are good and the portions are big. Try the burnt ends. Located in a strip mall among about 10 other bars and restaurants - don't be tempted by the other stuff here - wait in line, it's worth it!

One of the best restaurants in the USA, not just Hawaii. The views are the best, the drinks are the best, the food is the best, they even have the best parking system! Eat everything on the menu. The macadamia nut encrusted mahi mahi is too good to miss. And don't forget dessert! They are booked 2-3 months in advance. You MUST have reservations. Tip: You can eat the same food here at lunch usually without reservations.

This is our favorite spot to stop after a morning surf session. They always have a breakfast special and they have a bakery that seems to always make something tropical and interesting. Located about halfway between Lahaina and Maalea. We stop here often. The Pork/Pork/Pork sandwich is great! And don't miss the passion fruit cheesecake if it's on the menu!

This restaurant has my favorite dish that I've eaten on Maui. The "Vietnamese Crepe". It's not a crepe and I don't think it's Vietnamese either. It's got seasoned pork with a sweet garlic chili sauce and a crunchy fried "crepe" that you wrap in lettuce. I could eat this every day! Reservations are recommended and it's a difficult place to eat with for a group over 6. Also VERY noisy inside. Tip: Eat at the bar, usually able to get in for two and the bartenders here are chatty!

May be the best coffee shop on Maui and I'm not saying that just because it's only 2 blocks from our condo! They open early, have an awesome selection of baked goods (gluten free too) and they are very friendly. Right next to Maui Brewing Company!

Drinks & Nightlife

You've heard of Fleetwood Mac? Well Mick Fleetwood decided to open a club on Front Street in Lahaina. It's in an awesome location among all the other nightlife! Not exactly budget friendly, but worth the effort. Usually has live music on the weekends.

You have to be a member of the Yacht Club (notice that there are no yachts here) or be with someone who is a member of a yacht club in order to get in here. This is ground zero for fun on Front Street in Lahaina. The drinks and food here are so good and such a good deal, you'll think you're on the mainland. Note: It truly is an EXCLUSIVE club. They really won't let you in without a membership. Thursday is Steak and Lobster night. You have to call and pre-order your lobster by Tuesday in order to eat on Thursday.

Kind of reminds me of Key West. A lot of local shops. Our favorite thing to do is get a "Dole Whip" (pineapple soft serve) and walk the street after dinner. We may even buy something one day! VERY touristy, especially when the cruise ships are in town. Can be extremely busy. Tip: Park 2 blocks south of the Banyan Tree in the FREE 3 hour parking lot directly across from the Kamehameha School.

Maui's hippie community all seemed to know that this was the place they should go! Reminds me a lot of Pahoa on the Big Island - without the lava and rotten egg smell though. On the road to Hana. Paia is known for art galleries, food and good coffee Also some of the best surfing on the island can be viewed right from the beach.

Everyone can drive to Hana, this is a much better experience. You essentially drive from Kapalua to Wailuku on a narrow, one lane, windy road with no shoulders! What could be more fun? At the halfway point, you'll see a farm stand for Julia's banana bread. Stop and get some with her passion fruit butter! There are some amazing places to stop on this trip. Honolua Bay, Slaughterhouse beach, the Nakahele Blowhole, The Ovaline Pools ... You can easily spend an entire day exploring the area. Note: most rental car companies forbid you from taking their cars on this road - read the fine print.

Located on Front Street in Lahaina, the banyan tree takes up an entire city block. The museum and art gallery are worth the time too. This is the gathering place for just about everything; street vendors, sightseeing tours, etc. and where Front Street begins. A great place to begin your tour of Lahaina.

Parks & Nature

One of the only accessible areas on the Hawaiian Islands where you can see petroglyphs. A short hike around the area with some very interesting cultural history. Hard to find in a valley tucked behind some houses. Go to the Olowalu Fruit Stand and take the road behind it for about one mile. When the road ends, you're there! Don't park in front of any gates or driveways. This is a VERY sacred Hawaiian location, please treat it with respect.

Dormant 10,000 foot volcano that you can drive right to the top of! who knew? Great views of the volcano crater and the neighboring islands. It can be VERY cold and the wind blows hard here. Bring a jacket. You can hike in to the crater and the cold and wind seem to disappear! You can even hike all the way to Hana through the Kaupo Gap if you're prepared and have a permit. Tip: Now requires a reservation from the National Park Service to view the sunrise. Usually booked months in advance and they won't let you up to the top without one. Good news is that the reservation is only $1.50 but you still have to pay to enter the National Park!

Rated one of the best beach parks in the USA. Located directly below the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua (shares the same beach) this is a great place for boogie boarding. NOT a good place to snorkel. The current here is VERY strong. Easy public parking and a short walk to the beach make this a great place!

Probably the best snorkeling on the island is right here! The women's WSL (World Surf League) final event of the year is held here. The waves are awesome at the point and the snorkeling is amazing. It's a bit of a walk to the beach, but worth it. A lot of tourist boats bring their snorkelers to the bay here. It can be VERY crowded. Tip: The locals have set up a "toll booth" and charge admission to the area. There is no charge, but feel free to leave them something. The economy has been hit hard in the past few years. Maui no longer grows pineapples or sugar cane on the commercial scale that it used to and there is just no work for a lot of people here!

Arts & Culture

You can fly to Molokai and see the leper colony. It's a National Park. Do this before it can't be done any longer. There are only a few people living here and once they're gone... You could ride a mule down to the park or fly in. The flight in is STUNNING! I can't tell you about the mule ride! This is surprisingly inexpensive when you figure out the cost for an entire day excursion. Tip: You can fly out of the West Maui Airport which is less than a half mile from our condo.
