In the third video as part of our Travel Itinerary Challenge series, we explore Maui, Hawaii in 4 days and try our best to eat, see, and do as many things as possible based on a prepared itinerary list! Open this up to learn more and see our itinerary ↓
~~~~~~
If this is your first time viewing our videos, welcome and thank you! For some background about this series: in our years traveling together, we found our travel style involves cramming as many things into an itinerary as our body can handle. We plan a rough itinerary or list of things we want to do, see, and eat at our destination.
Below is the original itinerary we set out to complete. In our Itinerary Challenge Series, we will see how close we get to checking off each item on our list.

💻It was helpful to us to know the status of Parks & Beaches in Hawaii before we visited — Hawaii Division of State Parks website (http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/)
⚠️For the Nakalele Blowhole @ Kahekili Highway please use extreme caution if going down. Adhere to guidelines set by the Maui Department of Fire & Public Safety! There have been serious injuries and deaths at the location: (http://mauinow.com/2015/10/27/visitor-airlifted-from-nakalele-blowhole/)

We hope you enjoy the third video in our Travel Itinerary Travel series where we spent 4 days exploring Maui – the Magical Island! We'd love to know about places you have been to in Maui on your past travels or let us know about places that you're inspired to visit! We are always eager to learn more about things to eat, see, and do for the next time we visit Maui!
Love your videos and yes you are a great and cute couple, but why so much info about food. Food is secondary to place to visit and lodging while in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
So cool!
ma name is christa too and i went to maui for vacation lol
Also my dad is one of the head managers of that telescope
Thank you!! You listed the activities in the comments for us to read. Especially with Hawaii, the spelling can be difficult, your listing is very helpful.
Do not drive on the kahekili HWY it is dangerous.
Good job — loved your adventures. I think that the term “Seven Sacred Pools” is not a real Hawaiian name for the Pools of O’heo, but some travel agencies’ name for it to drum up business and so the name has stuck. I enjoyed your summary of the trip too, and they were all things I would have mentioned (especially the cold at the top of Haleakala!). Also, at certain times of the year, Honolua Bay has the best snorkeling that Maui has to offer. You have to swim out to the left or to the right out further from back of the bay. I’ll be looking for your further adventures. Thanks
44 activities in 4 days? Did I hear right? Just saying that in my head gives me anxiety already. But it looked like a fantastic experience. Thanks for sharing.
Great, I went yesterday to Zip lining with the awesome guide Kevin, he was really fun. The last jump was frightening… Lol
Such a beautiful young couple! Thank you guys for an amazing report from Hawaii!
I'd love to go here!!! 😭
Excellent job!!!!
Great vid, makes everything look attractive, but folks, please, please stay away fro Kahekili highway. Very dangerous, especially when you can't tell when some one else's fear kicks in, causing them to do something that puts you at risk. There is no room for error. Everybody there will tell you not to take that road, so don't.They know what they're talking about.
Where did you get the banana bread french toast? We are going to maui next month and would like to try it. Thanks in advance, and thanks for the video.
Where did you get the banana bread french toast!?
hey thanks for all the tips !! this is a pretty cool video.. just wanted to ask, what time of the year was this?
Love maui. Coming back ahain this week
Hawaii¡¡¡
When on Maui, May I suggest dropping into visit the happy Maui Humane Society off the highway back towards the airport in Kahulie….they place a lot of dogs and 🐈. They doa great job!🌴🌴🦜
Please recommend a breakfast place after viewing sunrise at Haleakala. Will attempt this challenge. Thanks
Been to Maui 17 times so I know the drill but 44 activities in 4 days is insane. You are like young puppies and I am an old dog who just wants to relax. Good luck with your travels.
I love you Maui Hawaii and I bless you I love you
Great video! New subbie hear, thanks for th great advise and I hope we can support each other <3
Really enjoyed this whole series. Thank you! Did you ver do a review or a listing of your accommodations on the islands?
Where is Molokini snorkeling? Anyway, awesome video guys! I've been to Maui over 5 times, and I still need to make it to Oheo Gulch. I love Star Noodles, Mama's Fish House for lunch, and Haleakala sunrise. I'll check out the restaurants you visited. My brother set-up a family trip to Maui September 2020 and I'll use some of the activities here to fill our itinerary. Thank you very much!
We love your shooting style, information, Mr Waffles and energy! The most informative and enjoyable series of Hawaiian vacation videos we have found planning our trip for next year. If you ever go back, upload another series! If you're ever headed to RMNP, give us a holler for tips. Aloha!
Thank you for the great video
New York and is leftist melting pot race mixing experiment 🙂 Great video! Hapas life matter!
please, what camera do you use? the quality is amazing
Try the Larva Tunnels next time. Really enjoyable. You go underground for a fair bit. Love your footage of all the islands. Don't know where you get the energy to not slow down to "Island time"
Hello! Love the video! You mentioned to leave early for Hana Road, is 7am a good time? Alos, how did you find the waterfalls is there a sign that says where to park?
The zip line looked like fun😃 That’s something I want to do if or when I go to Maui
CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!!
Maui is such a magical place. Spent 10 days there and it just wasn't enough. My favorite was probably the hidden red sand beach on the way to Hana. Had a blast snorkeling at the many beaches, with Slaughterhouse beach probably being my favorite snorkeling experience. Sunrise on Haleakala was pretty amazing too. Stayed in Napili-Honokowai. It was so sad to say goodbye. I can't wait to return. Planned on going again this August but we chose to cancel our summer vacations to Aruba and Maui this year because of the Covid. We'll hopefully reschedule for next year. Cool video by the way. Brought back some great memories. Aloha Mahalo 🤙🏽
They need to step away from this flick and focus on the secnery. Typical American blabbling
Nice video What settings do u shoot in ?
Sad to think about the pandemic’s impact on Maui’s small businesses.
GREAT – THANS GUYS
I love your fury friend😻
