My Honeymoon in Maui Hawaii

07/02

I wanted to share some photos that my hubby and I took while we were on our honeymoon in Maui, Hawaii. After visiting 6 different Caribbean islands I have to say Maui is one of my favorite islands. The lush mountains full of trees and waterfalls, beaches at every turn, surfers everywhere, rainbows everyday, the amazing seafood, and the kind people are just some of the things that I really enjoyed. The terrain reminded me a lot of Jamaica :). We stayed for 10 days and got to explore the whole island. We didn’t want to leave, it was paradise!

The view from our room. On the days and evenings we didn’t go out to eat, we ate out on our lanai and watched the ocean and the rainbows.

We rented a convertible to enjoy the open air. Ate tacos from this little stand called Ono Tacos, delicious!!!

We got our workout shoes on and took a hikes all over the island. This is when we hiked at Nakalele blowhole. We climbed down and up those rocks to see the amazing blowhole and scenic views.

The love rock

We found a beach that had a river flowing into it

We found limes at the river and took some back to our place

Ate at this eclectic spot called Java Jazz

Our drive up to Haleakala Volcano. We went up 10,000 feet in elevation and were literally in the clouds. The temperature dropped, and it was misty

Admiring the clouds covering the massive trees.

On our way to the famous Road to Hana. It’s a must drive if you visit Maui. It’s 68 miles long and the drive is the most incredible drive because you can stop and see the the 7 Sacred Pools, the Black Sand Beach, the Twin Falls, and beautiful views of Haleakala Volcano. Hana was my favorite part of the island.

I was really happy to see a porta potty because my bladder is the size of a peanut and I always have to go! Carl also called me Dora the explorer the whole trip, especially when I had on my back pack and I would just run off and explore…lol.

We found Twin Falls

Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach was the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen!

Next stop on the Road to Hana, the Seven Sacred Pools, AMAZING!!!

View of Haleakala Volcano

I found a Cross

I love this man

Another beach, I don’t even know the name of this one because there were so many.

Breakfast at Gazebo. The best place to get breakfast. Carl had the traditional fried rice, pancakes with pineapple coconut syrup, and I went with the Maui Omlette. Most delicious breakfast food I have ever tasted!

Snorkel time in front of our place

We went to the Old Lahaina Luau. We were told it was the most traditional one. It was all you can eat traditional Polynesian food and all you can drink. The show was incredible! The Polynesians have such a rich culture and history, and a Luau is a great way to learn part of it.

We had Hawaii-style pig roast and Poi ( Polynesian staple food made from the corm of the taro plant) as part of our meal, it was so yummy! We watched the Hawaii-style pig roast where a large pit is typically dug into the ground and lined with banana leaves, as lava rocks are heated over an open flame.

Aloha Hawaii!!! We’ll be back!!!

Did you like the Poi Niksha? I tried it at the first Luau that I went to and wanted to gag! Even tried it fresh at a farmer’s market and still thought I would gag. Usually with the Poi bowls they mix it with coconut milk and a lot of other different stuff. But I cant mess with it. I’m glad you had a good time over here and please come back!!!

  LOL…you just put me on the spot Crystal…the Poi didn’t was tasteless, so it wasn’t that bad, but definitely not my fave :). We will be visiting again and would like to buy a condo there eventually. I will hit you up when we head back!

ohsnap

I recognized where you were. Me and my boyfriend were there two years ago. We had breakfast at the Gazebo too! Was that the Feast of Lele luau you were at? That place was the bomb. Took a boat trip to Lanai for a day, didn’t get to see the volcano though. We did the road to Hana, stopped at all the beaches along the way, almost got taken out by a mango but other than that it was a perfect trip. It was hard coming back home. We want to go back.
- Nikisha Brunson
