Waikiki brewery in Lahaina. Beautiful view of the water to watch the sunset. Food and staff are great! The Thai food truck in Hana. I’d do the whole road to Hana again just for that pad Thai. We also loved the bar at the pool, Umalu, at our resort. We stayed at the Hyatt resort in Kaanapali.

What is the best tip for going on your honeymoon to Maui?

Tell everyone it’s your honeymoon. People were really nice and sometimes got a shoutout. We had to cancel and reschedule this trip three times due to the pandemic. It made it extra special when we were reminded it was our honeymoon... even after a year and a half of waiting.

We hit a new beach every day of our seven-day vacation. Every beach had turtles near the shore, so it's hard to say one was better than the next. We also hiked the Twin Falls Trail, went on a Kayak/Snorkel Excursion, golfed Maui Nui, and rented E-Bikes from Hawaiian Cruisers. It was a perfect holiday.

What are the best places to eat and drink in Maui?

We love Mama's fish house- the kids menu is spoken. Typically rice, veg and fish done a few different ways. It's pricey but the experience is worth saving up for, it's absolutely beautiful. The beach out front is also fun to play at.

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Maui?

Always have water and snacks. Do longer exploring days (ie, Hana or Haleakala) every other day with beach break days in between to keep it mellow. Hit up local parks and skateparks. Take a boogie board and sled down the grass at Rice Memorial park in Kula area. Have fun and explore!

Water shoes for all the lava rock you may climb and the coral close to shore. Highly recommend purchasing the snorkel masks that cover their face.
