We just got back from a trip to Maui! Here are great ways to support local Maui workers and businesses during your vacation! We were excited to get this video out so see if you can spot the errors with the captions. Mahalo for visiting Maui with aloha!
Been waiting for a video with from you guys. I tried canceling my trip out of respect to the ppl in Maui. But the resort refused to reschedule or refund. So we had no choice but to keep our trip. We don’t want to upset anyone. This is our first time, hopefully we are welcomed.🙏
Mahalo Jordan and Erica, Glad to see your beautiful family again on here. I can’t believe how big Henry and Edith are getting. It will be a few years until my husband and myself can afford to go back since we were just there in May. I continue to love watching your Maui vlogs and reading your informative newsletter!! Hope all is well and sending a huge hug to all the Maui people!! Lahaina/ Maui Strong!! 💪🌺
We enjoyed a fabulous, first time, trip to Maui last year and found your tips and guides incredibly helpful. Thx for making this great video focusing on local business.
Thank You for another great and important video. Visitors needed to know Maui is open. We are on The Big Island right now and support for Maui is strong.
It is nice to see how the other islands have sent a lot of love, money, and resources to support Maui. It is easy to feel alone on Maui with this issue, but the whole world is trying to help. The fact that the Maui Strong fund is over $127 million is something!
So happy to see a post from you! My wife and I will be there Oct 28-Nov 10. Have kept all our dinner reservations and plan to do our part while there. Looking forward to the "What to Expect" video mentioned in another comment.
Great video for a wonderful cause. Can't wait to get back to Maui one day soon. And yes, the kids are getting so BIG and super cute! Thanks guys! Hope to see you soon.
I was thinking about you all the other day, and I'm so happy to see you guys are doing well. Henry looks ecstatic to be back in Hawai'i (and he has grown!)🌺 Hopefully you'll be able to upload more videos ❤️
thank you for the video! always want to support local when we visit. Great tip about donating to the food bank. It'd be a great to have this type of video for the other islands 💜
Great video. You guys always show us so many places to visit in Maui. Now since our favorite places are gone when we hopefully return again in January we will explore other options. Thanks again.
I love Maui! Go there every year but I’m still sad about what happened to Lahaina. So many great memories 🥲. Do want to go again by the end of this year but I’m afraid that we might be going back too soon. My favorite part of Maui was west Maui. Kapalua, Napili and of course Lahaina. Do want to support any way we can and go but want to be respectful at the same time
Mahalo Jordan and Erica very nice to see you and your family again. Just couldn't wait till you put one out. Well just finished watching your video and are pleased to let you know that we are coming down to maui on the 11 to the 18th it's are 25th wedding anniversary can't wait to see maui again. It's been a long time. Hope to spend lots of money and maybe run into you and your family we are staying in the Makena area. Anyways ty and put out more content Mahalo
Whoa! Both kids are growing up quick! That's wild! Paul Ru.... I mean Jordan and Erica looking great too! Thanks for talking about Maui. Glad the Banyan tree is sprouting leaves on the west side! Support grown, not flown! Support local! Can't wait to see ohana in a couple weeks! Sending love and good vibes!
Look's like Christmas and New Year's in Maui this year. I love the way you have put together the information on how to decide what Island to visit. Jordan must have had some input on that with the A,B,C and D method but hey I got it right off. It also makes it very easy to understand where to do your research and dive right in on your planning although I am still going to get your Itinerary guide to make it easier. I'm glad your family made it through the fires ok and so sad at the same time for all the others who weren't as fortunate and have had loved ones lose their lives, lives turned upside down or drastically altered forever. In everything I read and watch about the great people of Hawaii it always stands out that the people have Heart and love their families, neighbors and their land. It will be our family's first visit to Hawaii and I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful paradise. I also understand the need to get back to normalcy and keep the economy flowing. Thank you for the awesome videos, information and sharing your family with us. Mahalo'
It’s so good to see you Jordan! I hope you, Erica and the kids are well. I hope to move by Christmas, Planning on buy my house in Kihei in October. Hope to see you both around sometime ❤️🙏❤️
I wish we had waited to cancel our plans seeing you say it’s open. We had plans for Maui in October. Right after the fire we saw a lot of negativity and hatred towards tourist on social media. Luckily we had insurance and were able to change our plans to Kauai for the same week.
Might be going in june the hotel is north of lahiana. Is there way to go south of lahiana without going all the way around the island? I;ve never been to maui. Only kauai and oahu. thank you
To get to West Maui, the main route is south through the Central Valley and then up past Lahaina and into Kaanapali (northwest Maui). You won't drive over the north side of West Maui. Check out this video for maps: ruclips.net/video/f0JuYwfNvhM/видео.html
Are you going to provide an update on your situation now that you have moved to the mainland, and what the future of this channel will be? I have been a subscriber since your first 100 subscribers, so I am hoping you don't quit. P.S. Hopefully Edie outgrows her desire to flash traffic before she gets older! 😂
Aloha Mike! We have no plans on stopping. We are planning on visiting often as we love to learn more about the island. Two more trips are booked for the upcoming months. Season 5 will start in early November. These Maui videos are to help get the word out that Maui is open for visitors. Thanks for all the comments and sticking with us since February 2020!
What night is the hula show in Kihei? I just booked my trip. Sadly the condo was SO expensive but alas, I hope they will put that money back into the community. VRBO and airbnb take so many fees that it doubles the price. However, I will only be shopping local!! Thank you for the great ideas! Be there for Christmas!
It is so nice to see you and your family and happy you all are doing well. Loved the south Maui garden, didn’t know it existed. For the food trucks do they have plant base or vegan foods?
Great video! I’m so frustrated though because I had a vacation to Maui planned in November but due to all the social media hate there was telling us to stay away from Maui I cancelled my trip and booked elsewhere.
Good question and a tough one. You can look at staying at Bed & Breakfasts and vacation rentals that are in an Ohana unit usually means the owners live on the property. Those are my ideas! I'd love to know of more hotels that are locally owned. Paia Inn and Kula Lodge are locally owned.
Everyone has a right to their opinions. Their is a vocal minority on social media. The broader Kānaka Maoli community has a policy priority of regenerative tourism, which we follow on our channel and website (set by the community through the visitor destination management plans). Hawaiians have always been the backbone of the tourism industry. As 8 out of 10 dollars on Maui is from tourism, visitors currently help the Kānaka Maoli realize their other priorities, like housing and land restoration. www.hawaiiancouncil.org/policy-center/policy-priorities/ That is my understanding of this complicated issue.
As much as I love Maui been going there for 30 years, I love the people I love the islands. But I just can’t go back to Maui. It’s not because of the people it’s not because of the islands it’s because of the corrupt government who led the massacre in Lahaina.😢 All those children still not have not been found. The governor, FEMA who sat at the Four seasons and the Fairmont, four-star resorts, eating, drinking and celebrating when they should’ve stayed somewhere close to Lahaina not all the way over in Wailea. instead at four and five star resorts, shame on them , and the mayor, the chief of police, and all the others will have bad karma come to them, and the Hawaiian, gods and goddesses will make them pay. My heart, my family are all so saddened by all the lives that have been taken by the greed of the mighty dollar 😢

I thought you lived on Maui. Was I mistaken? Did I miss a move?
I thought so as well?
He moved to Oahu I believe a month before the fire

Have a great trip to Maui. We have another video coming out soon on what to expect when you visit.
U mean someone from Maui BONED U ??? Never heard that before..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We were there in February. We are looking to return late this year to early next year. Thanks for the suggestions!
Good job guys, love to see your spirit to help Maui
I was thinking about you all the other day, and I'm so happy to see you guys are doing well. Henry looks ecstatic to be back in Hawai'i (and he has grown!)🌺 Hopefully you'll be able to upload more videos ❤️

Good video guys. Maui is in our ❤. Can't wait to get back.
Aloha 💯
Hope you can come back soon. I’m interested to see where the cruise ships go now instead of Lahaina. Probably Kahului
Thanks for the tips! We're heading out there soon! Spending some time in North Maui and some in South. ❤
thanks for subscribing! Have a wonderful trip!
Aloha Jordan and Erica ,Mahalo for the information. Can’t wait to get back there.
Thanks for watching Joel!
Thanks guys!!
coming to support Nov. 9th and in Feb. 2024
That’s great! We will be back soon too

Thanks for sharing guys.
Thank you for the update.
We're going in April, can't wait. ❤
Wonderful job!!!
We’re biased but we found it entertaining for a video about shopping local! 😂
It’s so good to see you Jordan! I hope you, Erica and the kids are well. I hope to move by Christmas, Planning on buy my house in Kihei in October. Hope to see you both around sometime ❤️🙏❤️
Best of luck on finding the right place. Long time coming

U guyz rock🌴🏝️👍

Mahalo, Maui No Ka ‘Oi😊!
It is so nice to see you and your family and happy you all are doing well. Loved the south Maui garden, didn’t know it existed. For the food trucks do they have plant base or vegan foods?
Yes, some trucks offer vegan and plant based. Check their menu. Earth Aloha Eats is a good option at 1881 s Kihei road
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide can’t wait to go back soon
Great video! I’m so frustrated though because I had a vacation to Maui planned in November but due to all the social media hate there was telling us to stay away from Maui I cancelled my trip and booked elsewhere.
sorry to hear that. we are concerned for the long term impact of some of the information coming from a small group and even misinformation out there.
I’m glad you made this video and I hope to plan a vacation to Maui early next year.
What is the best way to find lodging that will most directly support the local economy aside from a wealthy hotel chains employing staff?
Good question and a tough one. You can look at staying at Bed & Breakfasts and vacation rentals that are in an Ohana unit usually means the owners live on the property. Those are my ideas! I'd love to know of more hotels that are locally owned. Paia Inn and Kula Lodge are locally owned.
Hi guys, what do you think about Hawaiians (kanakas) on social media who are telling people not to come at all?
Everyone has a right to their opinions. Their is a vocal minority on social media. The broader Kānaka Maoli community has a policy priority of regenerative tourism, which we follow on our channel and website (set by the community through the visitor destination management plans). Hawaiians have always been the backbone of the tourism industry. As 8 out of 10 dollars on Maui is from tourism, visitors currently help the Kānaka Maoli realize their other priorities, like housing and land restoration. www.hawaiiancouncil.org/policy-center/policy-priorities/ That is my understanding of this complicated issue.
Hawai'ian Air isn't cheap. You make want to visit soon.
@bilguana11
Get the Hawaiian airlines credit card. Use 3k get free tickets to Oahu. We've done it twice.
How can I support from home?
Thanks for asking! Maui Strong is a great place to donate or share the video. Mahalo! thehawaiivacationguide.com/lahaina-maui-fire-update/
Maui nō ka ʻoi
It really is
Yeah. Cancelled my Hawaii trip this year because of the fire. Maybe Dec 2024.
The Island needs you now!
We hope you can make it in 2024!
The letter "a" in the Hawaiian language are always pronounced like "ah." Makawao is pronounced MAH-ka-wao. Not MACK-a-wao. Great video tho!
As much as I love Maui been going there for 30 years, I love the people I love the islands.
But I just can’t go back to Maui. It’s not because of the people it’s not because of the islands it’s because of the corrupt government who led the massacre in Lahaina.😢
All those children still not have not been found.
The governor, FEMA who sat at the Four seasons and the Fairmont, four-star resorts, eating, drinking and celebrating when they should’ve stayed somewhere close to Lahaina not all the way over in Wailea. instead
at four and five star resorts, shame on them , and the mayor, the chief of police, and all the others will have bad karma come to them, and the Hawaiian, gods and goddesses will make them pay.
My heart, my family are all so saddened by all the lives that have been taken by the greed of the mighty dollar 😢
