Do you have any recommendations for visiting kauai?

idatt22 - You can start a separate new thread of your own to ask about Kauai. Probably people are reading this one to talk about Maui! since that's the title.

Oh yea, your right. I'll have to figure that out. Theres also groups on facebook that are just called Hawaii. Did you wind up going to Maui with your large group?

We have visited Hawaii every year for the past 30 years and have a time share in Wailea. Our visits have been to different islands (Kauai, Big Island, Oahu, Lanai and Molokai) but Maui is our favorite island. I think you will love your visit to Hawaii! I would recommend spending a couple of nights in Hana because if you want to do some hiking you will not regret staying there. It is a very long drive to do in one day and you won't be able to do all the hikes or see the special places in one day. Lahaina is very touristy and traffic has become an issue so you have to avoid the rush hour times. It just depends on what you want to do on your vacation. Driving to other places like Haleakala or Kula is a long drive from Lahaina. We have stayed on past visits on the west side (Kapalua, Hana) for a few days and then spend 15 days in Wailea. Our condo is near the Andaz and we love that you can walk 3 miles down along five beaches and resorts (Grand Wailea, Four Seasons and Fairmont) to Polo beach. On a clear day you can see Haleakala from Wailea.

We hope to visit Maui next month if all goes well.

Wow! Lucky you! I've been to Maui and Oahu. I liked Maui a lot too. Loved Kanspaali beach and the walkway connecting the resorts, whalers village and restaurants. Liked Hana. Missed Hsleakala but went on the Four Winds snorkeling boat trip.

Before anyone goes anywhere in the Hawaiian islands you really do need to check the testing/quaratine restrictions if you plan to go in the near future
