Directly across the street from the condo and close! They say they’re the #1 rated Chinese restaurant in Maui. We actually eat here a lot. Convenient and decent. We’ve also eaten at the #2 rated Chinese Restaurant – there’s a reason there is no line to get in there… We always do takeout and eat on our Lanai. The restaurant is nice, but our view is better! They do take out and delivery. (808) 669-5089 http://www.chinaboatkahana.com/visit/

For those of you who need your Micky D’s fix. We have one just around the corner. We’ve been known to walk around the corner to get a soft serve ice cream. For something a little different, try the McDonald’s Local Hawaii Breakfast. Portuguese Sausage, eggs and rice or, SPAM and Portuguese Sausage, eggs and rice. Believe it or not, it’s pretty good.

World famous for their macadamia nut pancakes. This is a breakfast place. There will be a HUGE line! Is it worth it? Only if you like good food! People drive here from all over the island. It’s less than a mile away - 5 minutes away by car. Get there early. You should eat here at least once!

If you’ve ever been to an L&L in the States or Oahu, this is what it should taste like. A really good sit down mixed plate place. The food is very good and reasonably priced. In Lahaina town behind the Safeway about a 10-minute drive from the condo. Always a wait. Right next door to the Old Hawaiian Luau.

Okay, I have to say that this is one of our favorite places to go. The food is fantastic and not over the top expensive. The view is to die for and the service is wonderful. It's kind of a secret spot. But it does get busy. We go there mostly for breakfast. But the Sunsets there are simply amazing.

Monkeypod Kitchen in Ka'anapali is a little on the touristy side. But it offers live music and a great selection of cocktails, craft beer and wine. Their hand tossed pizzas are made with a 3 day crust, so they can support all the delicious toppings that come with. Try their Hamakua Wild Mushroom and Truffle Oil Pizza with white sauce, garlic, parmesan and thyme. They also offer the classics, like cheese burgers, quesadillas and more. It's a fun little hang out.

Leilani's is on the Beach at Ka'anapali beach. They have great food, and awesome views! Their Chilled Seafood Platter is perfect for families and groups, and their Taro Hummus puts a fun island twist on a classic snack. Stop by Leilani's for Aloha hour from 3pm - 5pm and enjoy deals on beer, wine and tropical drinks. One of the things we like about Leilani's, is they only uses locally caught or certified sustainably raised fresh fish, so you know you're getting great quality. They also source their vegetables from local Maui sources whenever possible. Very touristy, but fun. Good for a romantic dinner at sunset.

Okay, This is a Members only place. BUT if you belong to a Yacht Club you can get into LYC. Just show them your Club Membership Card and sign in. We are members of a Yacht Club or two, So we visit LYC all the time. Here is the "Top Secret Hot Tip" Every Thursday night is Surf & Turf Night. By far the cheapest place on the island to get a great steak and lobster tail. The food is simply amazing. Drinks are also the cheapest on the Island too. BUT... You must make reservations no later than the Tuesday before the Thursday you want to go. They do run out of Lobster. They also have a great Lahaina Yacht Club store by the entrance door.

If you want a little local flavor try Paia Fishmarket in Lahaina for a healthy, local treat. Since 1989, Paia Fishmarket has been serving Maui with fresh, delicious seafood, coleslaw and crispy onion rings and fries! This local favorite is as affordable as it is delicious. They offer beer and wine for the adults and a special kids menu with fish sticks for the keiki. The original restaurant is in Paia. We sometimes stop in there on the way to Hana.

While I'm not a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, I do kinda like Fleetwood's in Lahaina. Fleetwood's on Front Street has entertainment, dining and fun! They have a General Store with unique items relating to Mick Fleetwood, the drummer for Fleetwood Mac. They serve lunch and dinner and have a very comprehensive bar menu. Check out the Daily Sunset Ceremonies on the rooftop bar, featuring Hawaiian Kumu and Scottish Bagpipers. It was fun but kind of expensive. If you're a Fleetwood Mac Fan, you'll like it. If you're like me... It's a good one time experience.

They have a little of everything. Whalers is only a short walk. We go here when we don't want to drive into town. The store is a little on the touristy side. Prices are a little on the high side, but they have all the essentials.

Kind of like a local Costco, but on a smaller scale. Every thing you could need. So if you don't stop at Costco by the airport, this is the second best place to go in my book.

Great Local Brewpub. I've been known to sneak off for a brew or two. They have a pretty good menu. Prices are not sky high. And they have a pretty nice happy hour. It’s a very short walk from the condo.

The legendary road to Hana is only 52 miles from Kahului, however the drive can take anywhere from two to four hours to complete since it's fraught with narrow one-lane bridges, hairpin turns and incredible island views. The Hana Highway (HI-360) has 620 curves and 59 bridges.

WET SIDE OF THE ISLAND – Iao Valley needle – Paia – Haiku – Windsurfers – Makawao Go thru Lahaina Town around the Pali straight toward the airport. You can go to Wailuku and head up to the left to the Iao Needle and Iao Valley, a lush garden. Great for picnics and there’s also a little restaurant up there. Then head down back through Wailuku to Hana Highway and go to Paia, the Hippie town. Lots of great shops and places to eat. Also, gas. Along that road, check out the beaches for the windsurfers who may be out in force at one of the public beaches. You can head up towards Haleakala Crater to Haiku and Makawao (cowboy village) with restaurants, shops, art. Stop at the Komoda Bakery in Makawa

An interesting lava tube where you can explore about 1/3 mile of unusual underground formations. The tour takes about 45 minutes to explore. Costs $12.00. I can neither confirm or deny that I ducked under the railing and did a little extra spelunking. That would be just wrong…. But I hear that it is fun…wink, wink. Easy trail for everyone.

If you get a chance, you should take a charter to Molokini from the Maalaea Harbor. There are several charter companies to choose from. They all do pretty much the same thing. A sailboat or motorboat will take you out to Molokini Island. You’ll be treated to snacks or lunch. Then off to Turtle Bay. The snorkeling is nice. There is a good chance that you get to see turtles on the trip. We like to take visitors on one of the many tours that run out to Molokini. It’s a really fun day.

Hike down the dirt road through the “primeval forest” to the beach (short hike). This is a rock beach, not really good to stay all day, no restrooms, but the snorkeling is world class! There’s a concrete pad to launch off of or to the left, shallow entry into the water. Always swim or snorkel with a buddy. Fantastic coral reefs and fish about 200 yards to the left and the right. Some turtles live there. Great spot for seeing all the fish.

Mahana Ridge Trail - This is going to seem strange, but to do this hike you must make a reservation with the Kapalua Adventure Center (808-665-9110) located above the Ritz Carlton. They have a free shuttle and parking area that will take hikers up to the trail head at Maunalei Arboretum. They will also give you a trail map. It is a long hike – about 8 miles and the first mile is uphill – but after that the rest is downhill and the views along the way are amazing. Follow the signs at the trail head for the Honolua Ridge Trail. You hike on this trail until you reach the Mahana Ridge Trail. This hike goes also goes through DT Fleming Beach. Back to your car.

You could go to Hana, the seven sacred Pools and Pipiwai all in one day. Best part about this hike is the HUGE bamboo forest, Banyan trees and the overlooks on the bridges. You’ll even get to pretend you’re a giant panda in an amazing bamboo forest. The hike is about 4 miles and is easy to moderate. It is a muddy trail as you get higher in elevation. You will be hiking uphill through the forest for just a little while; it levels out after the first part. Make sure to check out the overlooks and side trails along the way. Once past the bamboo

Makamakaole Stream Hike (13 Crossings) - This hike is difficult to find the start of the trailhead, but worth it. Go about 1.5 miles past mile maker 6 on Hwy 340 outside of Kahului. You have to park your car on the side of the road – there is no parking area. Look for a hole in a fence on the mountain side of the road just before the road takes a sharp bend. Go through the hole and almost immediately begin your first stream crossing. It’s called 13 Crossings because you cross the Makamakaole stream 13 times before you reach a waterfall. There are actually two sets of waterfalls... See your Information Letter for more information.

The Maui Windmill Hike runs from a point near Maalaea Harbor over Kealaloloa ridge and down to a long, sandy beach at Ukumehame. Ranging in elevation from 100` to 1,600` Can be difficult, hot and steep. You gain approximately 1600 feet of elevation in 2.5 miles. The trail from either direction winds up steep rocky hills to the Kealaloloa Ridge. This is a feature you can easily spot from much of Maui because this is where the gigantic wind turbines for Kaheawa wind farm are found. This trail is part of an historic around-the-island trail system on Maui that began life as part of King Trail. See Informaion Letter for more information.

The Lahaina Pali Trail in Maui is a very challenging hike, but those brave enough to tackle this adventure will be rewarded with beautiful views. This is an out-and-back hike, and many choose to hike only one way (using a drop car or transportation services to get back to their starting point). Length: 5-10 miles Elevation Gain: ~1,600 ft Level: Difficult Dogs allowed on leash Warning... When Parking, Make sure to keep your valuables out of sight or take them with you. Car prowling is a problem here.
