Hello,

As a fellow Buick owner, I was hoping you could assist with an upcoming visit planned for Oct of this year.

I am looking for some local insights on where to stay and what to see. If you could please PM me I would love the opportunity to learn from you prior to our visit.

Many thanks,

Kelli Cox

Hi Kelli,
Is this your first time to Hawaii? Are you planing to do allot of sightseeing or beach time? If sightseeing You might want to do 2 nights Kauai, 4 nights Oahu, 4 nights Maui, 4 nights Big island ( 2 nights in Hilo, 2 nights in Kona saves backtracking) Wish you had more days here because you'll lose 1 day every time you move to another island. You might want to do 2 or 3 islands this time. And Enjoy a slower pace. And have some beach time.

Aloha,
Guy

Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated. First time visiting and might be only one is why I thought to visit 4 islands. Food for thought however. Mainly touring, kayaking and little hiking. (not so much beach)

Like off beat places and is why considered Kauai over Oahu , but what do I know.
I was thinking less in Maui and more on the Big Island - thanks for that suggestion.got one thing determined....

Guess can't really go wrong. I'm sure I'll miss doing something but can't go for more than 15 days.

Where is the best authentic island luau, is their some islands better than others in this area?

Again thank you for your reply.

Kelli

Oahu:
The Polynesian cultural center has the best luau. It's kind of far. Unless your staying on the north shore.

Swim with the sharks.

Just went para-sailing a few days ago. They also have jet skis and the screamer.

Maui:
The old Lahaina Luau is the best.

These are the two most authentic luaus you can find. The hotel luaus may be fun but they are more for typical tourist.

If you rent a car. Driving to Hana is quite an experience. Or they have tours.

If the weather permits. Watching the sunrise on the summit of Haleakala is cool. Don't be fooled. It may be Hawaii but the temperature is around freezing. It does snow once in a while. Yes, snow.

Check out Paia Town. It's a cool little hippie surfer town.

If you plan on being on Maui during Halloween. You have to check out Halloween in Lahaina. It is like Marti Gras. They close down the main drag and people just bar hop.

Zip lining is cool. There are many. This is just an example.

Helicopter tours are fun. Expensive but a once in a lifetime view. I am a Naval Aircrewman so we fly around to all the islands sight seeing for free. But I would take my family on a tour.

Big Island:
Gotta check out the volcano.
Aloha and Welcome to Hawaii Volcano Tours!

Sorry could not think of more stuff. I put a lot of stuff to do on Maui since that is were I grew up. Peace out.
