My Hawaii Travel Experience

Beach in Maui

If you’ve been hanging out with me on Instagram and YouTube then you know that your girl went to Hawaii. It sounds amazing right, but it was one of the scariest decisions I ever made. Hawaii has always been on my bucket list, but it was somewhere I thought I would go in the distant future. But then it was staring me right in the face when my best friend asked me if I wanted to take the trip. I immediately said yes, because I knew it was something I needed to do.  This was even before I resigned from my job, knowing I would resign from my job. But as the weight of my yes begin to sink in it got a little scary because I often let my practical stand in the way of moving forward. Buttt long story short, I went to Hawaii, and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made.

There is a coinciding get ready with me video that goes into detail about my spiritual and emotional experience. Things changed for the better and God is so good in His sovereignty. So check that video out for the details. In this blog I wanted to give all the details on where we went, where we stayed and our excursions.

Islands Visited

Black Beach in Kona

Cover Up: Boohoo

The Big Island

City: Kona

Stayed in Holday Inn Express: it was comfortable and served its purpose. But was small and not many amenities.

Excursions:

Luau at Ubekes Fish Market: the food and drinks were great. Small intimate setting. Highly recommend. Reserved through Veltra website.

Big Island Circle Tour (Kailani Tours) – included breakfast and lunch, coffee farm, wine tasting, black sand beach and volcano national park. The Big Island still has an active Volcano. Highly suggest if going to big island. Learned so much about the history of the island.

VRBO in Maui

Bikini: Ross

Maui

City: Lahaina

Stayed in a VRBO vacation rental right on the beach – Marcie Anderson Owner. It was awesome. Great vibe!

Excursions: Sunset Cruise—was fun…nothing super special. If you’re looking for something chill to do on the water, then I recommend.  Reserved through Viator website.

Best Experience: Maui – we fell in love with Maui. The weather was amazing. Hot yet breezy the entire time. The Beaches were gorgeous. The vibe of the entire city is awesome. We are definitely going back to Maui.

Best Food: Lahaina, Maui – Restaurants: Sixty-Two Market, Fleetwood and Mala

Best Drink: The Mai Tai at Ubekes

Recommendations:

Rent a car. We rented a car on Maui and it was one of the best decisions. We rented the car through Turo.com, where individuals rent out their personal car. We had a great experience. The woman, Nancy,  that owned the car (Volkswagon Tiguan 2021) we drove was awesome and gave us great recommendations for restaurants to visit and they were spot on.

 With Love,
