Maui has a long list of luau options (and all of the Hawaiian Islands for that matter). Of all the activities to do, and things to see, and food to eat on the island, spending a large amount of money on a luau show is probably last on your list. Maybe you have young kids … More Andaz Maui Luau (The Feast at Mōkapu)
I learned about the Mill House after falling into a deep internet search while looking up restaurants in Maui, and I feel like this place should be getting a lot more attention. As like most restaurants in Hawaii, the meal was delicious. Their chickpea cakes were melt-in-your-mouth good and I must’ve liked whatever drink I … More The Mill House
As our tour guide so nicely described it when we first entered the mini bus at around 6:00am in the morning, the Road to Hana is not about the town of Hana itself, which is not very exciting on its own, but it is truly about the entire journey and all the amazing stops you … More Road to Hana Tour
We were so excited for Maui’s beautiful scenery and the adventurous tours we had planned, that I feel like our focus on food took a backseat, and it is one of my regrets on this trip. In the future I would like to take a foodie trip to Maui where all I do is eat … More Leoda’s Kitchen and Pie Shop
Although I would argue nothing on Maui could be described as “touristy”, probably the closest touristy street we visited was Front Street. A long street lined with souvenir and dessert shops definitely attracts all the travelers, but it still had its adorable Maui charm and gorgeous ocean views. Cookie heaven and the perfect place to … More Front Street
For the most part, travelers tend to pick their airline based mainly on the cheapest ticket. A close second is for best mileage perks, but if you’re like me and don’t quite travel often enough to earn significant miles on airlines, you have what feels like 500 different airline accounts and spread out miles. When … More Hawaiian Airlines
I had an inkling that Hawaii would have fresh tasting food, but I was not expecting almost every meal in Maui to be quite so delicious (the only reason I say almost is because Monkeypod was disappointing, at least based on the one dish I tried there). The Plantation House is located at Kapalua Resort, … More The Plantation House
The two things I heard from friends and read online as the must do activities while in Maui were the Road to Hana (of course) and visiting Haleakala, specifically at sunrise. Now you can rent a car and drive up to Haleakala on your own, but I am a big tour gal so I jumped … More Haleakala Sunrise Tour
I can 100% declare myself a hotel person. I fully understand those that like staying in rentals, airbnbs, etc. for perks like full kitchens and more space, but on my first trip to Hawaii, I was determined to stay in a resort for the full experience, and the Sheraton Maui Hotel turned out to be … More Sheraton Maui Resort
As magical as it seems during the holidays in Chicago, the weather always tests my strength when I go back for a winter visit. However, we were determined to do at least one festive thing while I was in town, and we tried our best to enjoy the lights, but wow it was brutally cold … More Chicago Holiday Lights Trolley Tour
