Although getting to Maui requires a little more planning than most places these days... IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT! We hope that this page will be an easy resource to answer any questions you have about traveling to Hawaii.

Step One: Safe Travels
- All visitors entering the state must have an account set up with Safe Travels

Step Two: Upload Your Records
- All visitors must have either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test from a trusted testing partner within 72 hours of arriving on Maui. You will upload these documents to your Safe Travels account.

Step Three: Getting Cleared
- Once you've uploaded the required documents, you will receive a QR code via email. Please hold on to this as you will need it to be cleared upon arrival at the Kahului Airport. All visitors have to be cleared prior to departing the airport. Expect to wait in line anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour.

- Some airports are offering 'pre-clear" before you board your Maui-bound flight. If this is an option, please take advantage of it! Gate agents will scan your QR code and give you a wristband, which will allow you to bypass the clearance line upon arrival to Maui. Pre-clear availability varies and is not always at the departure gate. Ask the gate agent or airline customer service if this is an option for you.

Having a car on Maui is essential to getting the full island experience. Uber is very limited and unreliable. We have linked every one of the rental car companies on island below, as well as Turo, a new car rental concept that cuts out the middle-man, you can think of it like Air B n B for cars! Keep in mind that Maui is experiencing a shortage of vehicles on island and it is in your best interest to book your car as soon as possible.

MONDAY, APRIL 11, 2022

Thursday, April 14

6AM - 6PM

We have saved one of the most exciting adventures Maui has to offer for last!

Join Anthony and David in exploring the diverse and unforgettable eastern coast of Maui. Please be advised that this excursion is a full day of activity and will require a good night's rest prior.

6:20AM - Rendezvous at Shell Gas Station (Leaving for excursion promptly at 6:30 AM)
9:15 AM - Hike Pipiwai Trail (The Bamboo Forest). Hike will begin at 9:30AM. 1hr up & 1hr down. If you would like to opt-out of the hike, the base of the trail features seven sacred pools. We should be done with the hike and back in the car at 11:30AM
12 PM - Lunch at Huli Huli Chicken (Red Sand Beach)

After lunch other stops may include:

- Black Sand Beach
- Pua a Kaa State Park
- Waikamoi Stream & Waterfalls (The swimming hole of your dreams + jumping ledge!)
- Dinner in Paia (Restaurant TBD)

The road to Hana is a FULL day of non-stop adventure! You will need to be up early for this breathtaking day of driving through the jungle! Throughout the drive you can expect amazing views, great hiking spots, plenty of swimming holes, waterfalls and beaches!

HEADS UP: This is an ALL day adventure. There roads at times are very tight, narrow and winding so a good night's rest is highly encouraged.

Journey to the land of the Dinosaurs! This magnanimous national park is a wonderful 1/2 day trip from Kaanapali. Once you are at the park you can expect heavy clouds, cooler temperatures and a slight drizzle. There are different hiking trails, streams and natural small swimming pools.

Have you ever wondered what the gates of heaven look like? Well it has something to do with waking up at 3AM and driving 2 hours to the top of a volcano! Once you are at the top of the volcano you will be able to explore the terrain of the volcano while looking down on the clouds - seriously it's like being in an airplane, you're that high up! (You can visit the park during the day to and avoid the mandatory sunrise reservation and ya know, avoid having to get up at an ungodly time.)

Keep in mind it's cold up there, like really COLD (aprox 30 degrees below the temp on sea level areas of the island.)

Wanna see some turtles? Wanna walk through a mango forrest? Take the highway north and stop by Turtle bay (secret spot near Napili Bay) then resume your drive north and make another stop at Honolua bay. The walk to the bay is through a mango forest filled with wild chickens! Once you get down to the bay you can swim out and see a wild variety of sea life.

Big waves that break at the shore, crystal clear water, and soft white sand. Big Beach is by far one of the most outstanding spots to spend an afternoon playing in the sun!

Located directly between our two hosting hotels, Whalers Village features a perfect blend of high & low retail, upscale and fast casual restaurants right on the beach!

One of the most trusted surf schools in town offering group and private lessons!

We are beyond grateful for the time and money you have put aside to make it to our wedding. Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for, and therefore we do not expect gifts. However, If you are interested in blessing us with something, we could really use your help funding the start of our family & our summer of european adventure (our honeymoon).

1285 Front St. Lahaina, HI 96761

(808) 667-5400

This fan favorite has a new oceanfront address and is as popular as ever, so reserve a table far in advance. While Top Chef star Sheldon Simeon has moved on, his crowd-pleasing Hawai‘i-style recipes remain. The fiddlehead fern salad features crunchy, earthy polohe ferns, a local delicacy you won’t find elsewhere. The extra smoky broth in the hapa ramen is rendered from pigs roasted whole in the traditional Hawaiian īmu (underground oven) at the lū‘au next door. The ‘ahi avo is simplicity itself: cubes of ruby red tuna and ripe avocado kissed by lemon, pressed olive oil, and extra-delicate soy sauce. The bar also turns out refreshing libations like Asian pear with vodka, muddled calamansi lime with gin, and watermelon sours — all perfect pairings with the salty breeze.

878 Front St #7, 8 Lahaina, HI 96761

(808) 667-7667

The restaurant’s motto, “This too shall pasta,” is perfectly apt for unpredictable times and for chef Michele di Bari’s menu. Most diners who find their way to this inconspicuous eatery on the backside of Front Street order the wood-fired pizza, and you can’t go wrong with the Bianca topped with sausage made in-house from Malama Farm’s Kurobuta pork. But it’s the pasta that tugs at the heartstrings: hand-twisted strozzapreti, wide ribbons of pappardelle, and tantalizing spaghetti neri studded with fresh clams and smears of spicy Calabrian ’nduja. Start your meal with an Aperol spritz, and you might just think you’re in Milan, the chef’s hometown. Dine in or order online. [$$-$$$]

658 Wharf St Lahaina, HI 96761

(808) 661-3636

Chef Lee Anne Wong earned a fan club for her sophisticated, Hawai‘i-style brunch at Koko Head Café on O‘ahu. In 2019 she moved to Maui to found a harbor-front venue that matches the charm of her cuisine, setting up shop in the Pioneer Inn, which was once the haunt of whalers and Hawaiian royals. Traditional breakfast dishes get a gourmet upgrade: Fish benedicts come on sourdough muffins with miso-mustard hollandaise and striped marlin reeled in across the street. Breakfast ramen is a warm-your-soul bowl of chewy noodles, poached organic egg, and bacon. Toast bygone pirates with a pineapple mimosa, or get Miso Smashed — a bourbon cocktail with a spoonful of miso-honey, yuzu, and mint. Dine on the shaded, open-air lanai or order online, and be sure to check the website for special culinary events. [$$]

820 Olowalu Village Rd Lahaina, HI 96761

(808) 662-3600

Situated just inland along the island’s western fringe, this all-day restaurant puts extra consideration into American standards: French toast with coconut crème anglaise and local eggs for breakfast, with salads, sandwiches, burgers, and potpies for later in the day. Really, though, it’s the individual pies — flaky of crust and generous of filling — that make Leoda’s worth pulling off the road for. Ubiquitous apple-crumb or berry variations round out the selection, but home in on the flavors that evoke the place: coconut cream, pineapple-macadamia nut, and Olowalu lime. [$- $$]

1670 Honoapiilani Hwy Wailuku, HI 96793

(808) 270-0333

The Mill House’s setting in the Waikapū Valley is so picturesque that it borders on comical. The patio perches on the brink of a pond, with the jagged West Maui Mountains rising in the distance. The restaurant is part of the Maui Tropical Plantation, a 60-acre facility showcasing the island’s agricultural diversity; the dining room displays evidence of Maui’s plantation past, with massive mill gears and two steam engines. Dinner standards such as lamb shank and polenta are satisfying, but it’s best to come for happy hour, when the valley is lit with glowing pastels and craft cocktails are just $6. Try the Plantation Mule with tart liliko‘i and Pau vodka. [$$$$]

799 Poho Pl, Paia, HI 96779

(808) 579-8488

A true Maui landmark, Mama’s Fish House has been serving seafood in this same location since 1973. Their menu is so local that it’s updated daily with the name of the fisherman, the location where the fish was caught, and what the fish likes to do on the weekends (OK, maybe not that last one). This place is about as beachfront as it gets, located steps from the sand at the Kuau Cove, though, while the kitschy bamboo walls and thatched roof may make you think otherwise, Mama’s Fish House is actually a pretty upscale place - so expect to spend some money here.

349 Hanakai St. Kahului, HI 96732

(808) 707-1221

Reggie Ballesteros helped open two street taco shops in Portland before returning home to Hawai‘i, where his tiny walk-up window in Kahului’s industrial sector is busy from the moment it slides open at 11 a.m. to just after sundown. Tucked into hand-pressed corn tortillas, the rajas melt in the mouth, and the carnitas are fatty in the best, most flavorful sense. Make sure your order includes a scoop of esquites, and keep an eye out for specials like $3 taco Tuesday and the sloppy, celebratory plato de birria: three crispy tortillas stuffed with braised beef and melted cheese, served with consomme. [$]

340 Hana Hwy Kahului, HI 96732

(808) 877-4950

Inside a small health food store, the chefs at Broth ladle out wonderful bowls of ramen loaded with enoki mushrooms, broccolini, and char siu pork dyed pink with beet rather than typical food coloring. The ramen, along with banh mi and green bowls, is served until 5 p.m., but if you arrive before noon you can order avocado toast with lox, miso tahini, or curried chicken. The kitchen spotlights vegetables grown on nearby farms and happily accommodates paleo and vegan substitutions. The drink menu deserves careful consideration: It’s tough to decide between the matcha smoothie, fresh-pressed dragon fruit lemonade, and indulgent bulletproof nitro coffee fortified with coconut cream, almond butter, cacao nibs, and a coconut-based supplement called Brain Octane. Takeout only. [$-$$]

780 Haiku Rd Haiku, HI 96708

(808) 575-2939

The owners of Nuka turned an old Hā‘iku auto supply into a wonderfully modern izakaya and sushi bar. Order a few small plates to start: spicy edamame, miso eggplant, and kinpira gobo (slivered burdock and carrot dressed in sake). Then dive into a sashimi platter, where the supply of fresh tuna and snapper is bolstered by the owner’s own fishing boat. Or for a simple, satiating meal, try a Nuka bowl: fresh herbs and veggies piled atop rice and topped with ‘ahi katsu, blackened tofu, or shio koji salmon. Patience is necessary here; they don’t take reservations, and the wait is often long. [$$]

2435 Kaanapali Pkwy, Lahaina, HI 96761

(808) 878-6763

Despite its laid-back vibes, Monkeypod doesn't play around when it comes to drinks, which is apparent from the outset, given that the bar runs the entire length of the room. There are a 36 craft beers on tap, in addition to seasonal and limited-release beers, mainly from local breweries. There are also 12 craft cocktails, the kind you might expect to enjoy at a bar in New York City or Los Angeles, but with a tropical twist. The heavenly signature Mai Tai, for example, made with organic rum, homemade macadamia-nut orgeat, and orange Curaçao, is topped with fluffy honey-lilikoi foam. On the menu you'll find Hawaiian classics like Kalua pork and kiawe-grilled ahi, as well as a perfect little menu of pupus like shrimp-and-mushroom potstickers and poke tacos.
