- Best snorkel place: Kapalua (border with Napaili), bring some bread, the fish will eat right in front of you.
- Stay away from Thai restaurants, they're all bad. Some Viet restaurants in Kihei & Lahaina
- Have to visit Haleakala Crater
- Some good restaurants in Lahaina, look for coupons
- Don't buy fruits at fruit stands, they charge an arm & leg :D
- The shopping mall at airport also has farmer market (better check for th day & time). They sell fruits as well.

Thanks steveh,
How about luau? Is it fun and worth money?
is food very expensive there?

The food is kind of expensive...I didn't go to luau at all, because the menu is kind of pretty bad (just pig and chicken). The price is vary depend on the hotel. Or if you have time, attend the timeshare for 3 hrs, they will give you free tickets.

The food price is moderate, if you don't care about the atmostphere (like the ocean view restaurant will cost more). We rented a condo in Maui, which has everything (kitchen, snorkel, washer/dryer,...) which save a lot of money and time. There is a CostCo & Walmart, you could buy stuffs there.

Just don't go to famous hotels to eat (like Mama's Fish House in Hana) then you won't waste money. It cost $95 for 2!!!

- Some other places you could go is Iao Valley.
- Wailea has some good sunset view.
- You could go to Hana if you have too, but don't go all the way, turn around about last food stand on the way. You will waste a whole day just driving. To me, it's a waste of time...

Nhớ đi Hana tour discover the whole island in one day. But I prefer you should book the tour let the people there do the driving because you don't know the road around very easy to get lost and waste your time for driving and direction.

Nho di coi sunrise on Haleakala mountain.
Luau is okay if you haven't been there đi cho biết.
