Going for a week. Specifically Maui. Will have a vehicle. Planning the long road drive thing. What else? No kids. I'm a cheapskate. Not sure what is included in our accommodations package. Let's assume little.

We want to try some excursions, but I want the off tourist stuff.

We had more fun in Kahului and Pāʻia (the local market and beaches were fantastic) than we had over at Lahaina, where if another drunk Texan had told me "Mahalo!" I would have barfed. The snorkeling at Lahaina was badass though: You could hear the whales calling the whole time you were underwater.

I read that SPAM is now trying to come up with a second batch. Apparently the first batch is finally running out..................
Edited: Have fun with your time in the Sun. My wife would love to go.

Hi I am brand new to the forum and this is oddly my first post.
I am also heading to Maui Feb 1 for me, It has gotten extremely expensive and i am not sure you wont find anything non touristy.

best best would be to hit snorkle bobs and rent snorkle gear. Depending on where you are staying you can find places to snorkle.
there are a few hikes if you like that, the road to Hanna i think you mentioned is something to do once

sunrise at the haleakala (again touristy)
I love big beach in Wailea but last time i was there they started charging to park
I'm a just chill at the beach or pool kind of guy.
Its beautiful there so just take it all in and relax
have a great trip

Yep, nothing like the night sky reflecting the reddish/orange afterglow of moving lava while your nostrils are filled with acidic Sulphur fumes

The best Spam masubi I've ever had was from a 7-11 in Kahului!

I've only been there twice... once for my honeymoon back in the mid 2000s, and then again for work.

When we were there on our honeymoon, we were taking the cruise "Spirit of America" I think... so it went around to a bunch of different places. Some of the things that we saw (that I thought was worth seeing):

- Cocoa plantation / farm, and shows how they make chocolate. I think this was in Waimeia (sp?)

- The USS Missouri and Arizona Memorial ... I think the Arizona memorial is worth seeing, even if it's a sad thing to witness, but I see the two as kind of the beginning and the end. WW2 (with Japan) officially ended on the Missouri... it really is a magnificent ship, and if you like naval history at all, it is an absolute must. My grandfather was OSS with the NAVY back in the day, so I have an affinity towards big ships.

- There are a lot of Zen gardens, which are pretty fantastic to see.

- There's also some of the lava-flows, and even the beaches that are made up entirely of black sand.

- Zip lining (can't remember where, but there was strawberry guava growing naturally that you could just grab as you're flying across the mountain peaks).


I'll edit this and add more if I can remember... but it was a lot of fun. It's as much about the culture as it is seeing the sights. I don't know where you live, so if your interest is mostly visiting the beach, you might miss a lot of the other great stuff that Hawaii has to offer.
