#5. Use "Aloha" and "Mahalo" as much as possible! It's good manners! Aloha, you know is Hello and Goodbye. Mahalo means Thank You! Don't be discouraged by the waitresses and bartenders not reciprocating. They're all from the mainland too!#4 Order a Mai Tai everywhere you go. Every place claims to make the BEST Mai Tai in Hawaii. Obviously, someone is lying. You won't know who, until you've tried them all!
#3 Snorkeling is way easier than it looks. You can rent the gear at any surf shop for a day or a week. You don't even need to take a boat ride! Many of the beaches are great snorkel spots. But if you can get out to Molokini Crater, it's worth it! Even if you don't snorkel, chances are the boat is manned by some hot bartenders. Hey, combine #4 and #3 to maximize your time on the island.
#2 Check out the Hula Show...at the Mall! Why spend $100 bucks to see a highly choreographed spectacle at one of the big Luau spots, when you can check out some fairly enthusiastic amateurs at the Cannery Mall in Lahaina??? It's really cool, and it's free. Um, what's not to like?
And the #1 Fact about Maui:
It's friggin' beautiful. Seriously, no joke. I never took so many pictures in my life, and looking at them now, they don't even BEGIN to do it all justice. From the beauty of Honoloa's hidden lagoon, to the shimmer of the setting sun off the turquoise ocean, from the volcano peaks shrouded by mist, to the many rows of palm trees swaying in the wind. It's amazing. You'll never feel so relaxed and alive at the same time.
