Yep, agreed, Been to Maui three times. Found locals ruder and less welcoming every time. Most people there don't understand that tourism is the *only* industry Hawaii has, and want all tourists off of their island. I have a friend from Maui, and even he doesn't understand the reality. He says stuff like "only hotel and restaurant owners want tourists. The rest of us get government assistance from the state, we so don't care about tourists". I'm not sure where he thinks Hawaii government gets the money, but I don't argue with him.

One of the prettiest parts of Maui is the Road to Hana. It's almost impossible to drive now. Almost every single pull-out now has a "no parking" sign and the fines are enforced, so you can't stop and snap a picture of those beautiful waterfalls (well, you can, but now you risk a fine). I also had multiple locals take the trouble to stop, open their truck window and scream "Get off the road you f-ing a-hole". I wasn't *in* the road. I was on the side of the road where they could pass by easily, yet they still felt the need to do what they did. I heard them curse out other people, and even children multiple times.

If you don't believe me, read the "Maui Revealed" book, which is the most popular guidebook on Maui (https://www.amazon.com/Maui-Revea...141&sr=8-1).

In it, the authors freely admit that the locals "forgot the spirit of Aloha, especially on the Road to Hana".

After the last trip and being cursed out by locals several times, my wife and I decided "never again". We still go to Oahu, which is the Gathering Place and is a lot more welcoming to tourists. But Maui is not for us. It's a beautiful island, but honestly the fire damage is nothing compared the hostility of many (not all, but many) locals.

Beginning October 8th, all travel restrictions will end and West Maui (including Nāpili, Kāʻanapali, Honokōwai and Kapalua) will be open to visitors again with the exception of Lahaina. Please be mindful that hotels in West Maui are still housing their employees and families, evacuees, and first responders.

Other areas on Maui (including Kahului, Wailuku, Kīhei, Wailea, Mākena, Pā'ia, and Hāna) and the islands of Kaua'i, O'ahu, Lāna'i, and Hawai'i Island remain unaffected. We urge visitors to be especially mindful and respectful in our island home as our community continues through this tragedy.

Quote from amoled :
this thread is for people that are trying to vacation while getting best bang for the buck. It looks like your agenda is to lure unknowing tourists into this expenditure trap, called Maui.

Maybe those poi boiz riding their trucks screaming 'haoles' and /or 'haoles get out of Hawaii' can donate their trucks and help out and save lives?

People are losing their livelihoods and possibly their homes because of a lack of tourism coupled with the lack of help from the government. If I could go, I absolutely would.

We are going to the Big Island next week. Thought about supporting Maui but nah... I don't know where all the "colonization ruined our island" crap is coming from but I think if they turned off the lights and stopped all the imports for a month it would stop. All the whining is coming from people who weren't alive to remember how it really was before "help" arrived.

Big Island is by far the best island imo, with Kauai being 2nd. I personally thought Maui sucked.

Wow! That's such a different experience from our two trips to the Big Island! We only stopped in Maui once on the way to the Big Island. The airport was not great, older, and seemed like a tourist trap. We found most of the people in the Big Island hospitable and grateful for visitors. Also there's so much more to do on the Big Island and you get a diversity of weather and terrain. From the dry sunny beaches on one side to the tropical wet lush green of the other side.

I've been 3 times. In 1991, it was great. Drove the Hana highway, stop to take photo's of the waterfalls. Got to Hana, and walked up to the 2nd waterfall while enjoying the wild orchids

. Things have changed, but the last time the client set me up at the Hilton, that was pretty nice. No more driving to Hana though

Why would I want to visit Maui when it's burned to the ground? Is this really a deal?
At the fundraiser for Maui's wildfire last Sunday, they announced that Most places in Maui are opening and welcome tourists/visitors expect for Lahaina where the fire 🔥 took place.

On a whim went to Maui for a whopping 3 days after thinking about it for 20 minutes. Kihei and a few other spots. My first time to Hawaii and it was amazing. I'm going for sure. Help the folks out / vacation ? Hell yes

might be easier and cheaper (and less headache) to just attend the Burning Man event instead of burned out Maui.
Wasn't burning man a fiasco? People got stuck for days and running out of food and supplies, stuck in mud and stuff. Didn't sound like a fun place to be at lol.

You could simply read up on the history of Hawaii to understand where that sentiment comes from.

Perhaps people like Oprah, Ellison, Zuck, and other celebrities buying up chunks of land pissed them off. It's easier to take it out on the tourists than celebrities with armed body guards.
