Just got back from Maui moving there next year! Honolua bay is awesome for diving probably Molokini. My favorite breafast and lunch spot is paradise found crepes are the best. For dinner cheeseburgers in Paradise,Outback steak house and Ruth's Chris!

 

[Captain Nemo]

Awesome guys! Any help is appreciated!!

I didn't go driving but i also heard that Molokini is a a good place. I found the snorkeling there much like many of the other spots you can get to on your own.. I really enjoyed the Old Lahaina Luau to be very good. I have been there a couple times myself. The road to Hana is always a good time. It is really nice if you can spend a night in Hana but you don't have to. It's the drive home that's the killer if you do it in one day that gets real tiring. It's also worth having a convertible if possible. It's one of those must haves in Hawaii..

 

[Captain Nemo]

we have a convertible on maui! that should be good. and the Laua you went to is a good one? have you been to others? just wondering, we have never been to Hawaii and want to have the best time possible so I am trying to get some good info! LOL!

Wear a lot of sun screen! Google Honolua bay when you get a moment pretty awesome place! Where are you staying?

 

[63vette427]

and the Laua you went to is a good one? have you been to others?

I have been to this luau each time i have been there. I haven't tried the others. The 2 main ones are run by the same company. The Old Lahaina luau is a tradition old style. It's more of the tradition old dancing and entertainment. They don't have fire dancing and things like that. That is the other one, not sure of the name though. I will say the food and drinks are excellent.

I have been to Hawaii for the last 25 years! I would say most laus have terrible food except for the one in Oahu which is held at the polynesian cultural center best show ever!

It's our 4 year anniversary. And it's one of the things we wanted to do before we start with kids. Lol!!

Will do!!! And we are staying at the Sheraton on Maui and Kauai and the Hilton on Oahu.

 

[63vette427]

Well right out in front of the Sheraton is Black rock.. Pretty good snorkeling there..

 

[Captain Nemo]

Awesome I will check it out !!

Nemo,
On Oahu for a little romance, check out House Without a Key at the Halekulani. Beautiful sunsets with a great view of Diamondhead, along with traditional music and elegant hula. No grass skirts, but the story telling with their hands.

Halekulani Hotel - Dining - House Without a Key

Here is a link. It is just down the beach from the Hilton.

 

[Captain Nemo]

Awesome! I am sure the wifey will love that! looks like it has decent food too!

 

[Captain Nemo]

Thanks for the reccomendation!

Halekulani has a great sunday brunch. If you want to go make a reservation a few weeks in advanced. Germaine's luau on Oahu is also decent. A must go place for snorkeling on Oahu is Hanauma bay. You need to watch a short video before getting to the beach but its worth it. Go early so you can get parking.
