which island do you live on? i was thinking of doing a combo of staying in Oahu a few days then Maui, but i think we are just going to go to maui. south kihei probably. a little concerned about the wind since in August it averages 25mph, but I am told the further south you go the less wind there is. ?
Yes, pinned is right. I live on Oahu. Many people do the island hopping on thing. I would do that if the budget allows. Only thing is its hard to cram in all the sights. There is only so many hours in a day.
Maui is great. I have family there that lives up country, kula area. You can't go wrong visiting Maui. Kihei is nice. Hot though in my opinion. Kihei is somewhat of a touristy town. Lots of restaurants, a few little strip malls. South kihei is where most of the major hotels are. And yes less wind. North is more windy. Its nice but in all honesty I would stay at a cheaper hotel or even better if you can find one rent out a condo. I would spend my money else where like activities and dinning out. Helicopter tours, zip lining, whale watching cruzes, fine dinning. I would spend my money there. Its is nice to come back to fresh sheets and a tidy hotel room though. So many options!
If you visit Maui you have to go up to kula, haiku area. Views are amazing! Lots to see and do up there.
Like I said evey island will have its own feel. You just need to find out which one feels the best for you. Renting a condo in Maui is cool. On Oahu your better off in a hotel.
I'm excited for you! No matter where you visit I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.
