Our First Stop...
Heading to Napili:
7:00 AM:
Breakfast in
Napili
We started off our day at Gazebo Restaurant
in Napili, one of Maui's best kept secrets for
breakfast. Expect a line, but it's way worth
it. The food was so delicious that we ate too
much, considering our next stop.
Lahaina is the one place on Maui
where it's almost always sunny.
Definitely bring sunscreen, hats,
and sunglasses, and if you plan
on swimming, bring or buy a
rash guard.
Helpful tip 2:
If you have young kids with you,
the perfect beach is located
near Safeway at the end of Kenui
Street, on Front Street. Very calm
and shallow - it's very safe. It's
even called 'Baby Beach'.
Helpful tip 3:
Breakfast with
a
Friday night is art night in
Lahaina Town. Meet and greet
local Maui artists at the galleries,
and watch them create their
masterpieces. It's lots of fun for
the whole family!

Helpful tip 4:
For those adventurous enough
to travel past Napili, you'll find
Kapalua Golf Course, secluded
