Maui is known for its beautiful natural environment and easy-going lifestyle. However, things don’t always go as planned when vacationing in a place you are not familiar with.  Having some advance knowledge can avoid problems and make for a happier stay. Keep these safety tips in mind when exploring Maui’s natural wonders.

There are so many things that make Maui special, including more miles of accessible beach than any other island in Hawaii. Even though we are a bit prejudiced that Maui is No Ka Oi (the best), the island is also a favorite of visitors.

We love to make happy Maui vacations happen. But these past few months under quarantine have been a bit lonely. Everything started to change on October 15th. Travelers can now avoid Hawaii's 14-day quarantine with a negative COVID-19 test.

Many people travel to Maui annually and we welcome them back like ohana (family). For some it will be their first trip to the islands. For everyone, it’s a trip across the ocean to paradise, but one that is a little more complicated because of COVID-19.  For those that do take the journey to Maui in the next few months, it may be an experience of a lifetime, to see Maui like it hasn’t been for decades.

Don't let a global pandemic ruin your big wedding plans. Pivot, and consider a destination elopement to Maui once the quarantine is lifted. Stunning backdrops include tropical aqua seas, steep volcanic cliffs and endless blue skies.

We are so looking forward to welcoming you back on Maui. As you make your trip plans, take a moment to learn a little about the ocean. Maui is generally a safe place, with the greatest risk at the beach being a little sunburn.

You don’t need an expensive or complex camera to take great photos. I shoot and edit photos here on Maui, and often times end up pulling out my smartphone for certain candid shots or to use the panoramic feature in tight spaces. You can take great shots too by following a few expert tips.

Some interesting trends are surfacing regarding how travel may change post-COVID-19. Studies indicate people are anxious to travel this summer, but likely will start slowly and stay closer to home.

Many people with cancelled travel plans to Maui want to know when it is safe to rebook. While that is a complicated question to answer, we would like to provide you with some general guidance for future travel.

Picture a sunny afternoon chilling on your favorite Maui beach, cool drink in hand, toes in the sand.  Then you see it. A couple, donned in matching hibiscus print shirts, tall socks nestled in their sandals, colorful fabric leis, arms holding outstretched selfie sticks.

Maui is generally a safe place, with the greatest risk at the beach being a little sunburn. But as you explore the beautiful beaches, the mellow atmosphere can also lead to a false sense of security when it comes to the ocean.
