How to have a great Maui vacation and Save Money!

Have a great Maui Vacation and Save Money

Our Best Hawaii Vacation Blog provides you with comprehensive information about all the Hawaiian Islands to make it easier for Hawaii travelers to decide which island they want to visit for their Hawaii vacation, whether they were looking for a cheap Hawaii vacation, coast inexpensive vacation condo Kona Hawaii, family Maui vacation rental Hawaii or a Kailua Oahu Hawaii private home.

Hawaii vacation means to most visitors relaxing on white sand beaches and swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean when the Mainland is haunted by cold or rainy weather. The best Maui beaches are located on the West Coast from Kapalua to the historic port of Lahaina with lots of Maui resorts. South Maui is another beach attraction area. Kaanapali is the big family oriented resort area with about 3 miles of white sandy beaches. Whalers Village, a seaside mall with about 48 shops and restaurants is very popular among all Maui visitors. For budget accommodations, Maui condos in Honokowai, Kahana and Napili (built in the 70s), offer excellent bargains at a great location, in a short distance from Kapalua and Kaanapali resort areas.

South Maui can be considered the driest and hottest area on Maui. So, it’s very popular with sun lovers. Kihei on a 7-mile stretch of white sand beaches provides Maui’s best vacation bargain. It’s just the opposite of a Maui vacation at Wailea 5-star resort hotels like the Four Seasons and the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa. Wailea is the ‘playground’ for the celebrities. Wailea has warm, clear water with lots of tropical fish and year-round sunshine and clear blue skies.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, then Makena might be right for you. You can spend a quiet, relaxing vacation on Makena beach. It’s long ways to drive though to any kind of Maui activities. So make sure serenity is what you want for your Maui beach vacation.

As most everybody rents a car for their Maui vacation (there is no public transportation on Maui!), except from the few visitors who take a shuttle to their Maui resort and don’t move from the beach, unless they get a Mai Tai at the beach bar, a trip to famous Haleakala Volcano in Haleakala National Park is a must.

When arriving at Maui Airports Kahului Airport or Kapalua Airport for your Maui vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, order your free vacation brochures for Maui ahead of your trip or buy the ‘Maui Revealed’ book as your travel companion for your Maui travel.

Best Hawaiian Luau Show

What is a Best Hawaii Vacation without attending one of our special Hawaiian luaus with a typical Hawaiian or Polynesian show?!

Yes, we know it's kind of touristy with all the aloha calling, hula dancing and eating kalua pig which has been cooked covered in ti leaves for hours in a Hawaiian 'imu' (fireplace in the open made from lava rocks for cooking luau pig and other meats) and being served poi, the original Hawaiian diet. Well, don't miss the food, whether you like it or not (it's definitely an acquired taste) and don't miss the show at the luau because everything what you will experience at your Hawaiian luau is part of the ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions.

The highlight of any Hawaiian luau is the Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance. One can see some dare devils there, and the fast beat of the drums gets Hawaiian visitors drawn into this special performance. If you have never had a chance to watch a Polynesian Fire Dance, we have two choices for you. Which Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance do you like best?

Let's hear your choice. If you have seen an exceptional Hawaiian luau show, which you think other Hawaii visitors should see, please, share with us. Tell us Hawaiian Island and hotel or resort. As usual, we are looking forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacation and Accommodation Guide

Best Hawaii Vacation Destination

This post is sponsored by Free Hawaii Vacation Rental Listing

Aloha Hawaii visitors,
We get asked again and again which Hawaiian Island is the best Hawaii vacation destination. To tell you the truth, nobody can answer you that question. It all comes down to your expectations what kind of a vacation do you want to spend. Luckily, we all have different ideas of our Hawaii vacation.

Let's name a few:

Hawaii beach vacation - beach bums don't even rent a car but take a shuttle to their Hawaii hotel or resort vacation condo and don't move, maybe just picking up a Mai Tai from the beach bar...
Hawaii adventure vacation - explore all the famous sights of an island, like seeing an active volcano on the Big Island...
Hawaii activity vacation - scuba diving, deep sea fishing, whale watching, sunset ocean cruises, helicopter flights, horseback riding, mountain biking
Hawaii golf vacation - the passionate golfer just moves twice a day...to the early morning tee-time and back to the hotel from the golf course
Hawaii relaxing vacation - this group of Hawaii visitors just wants to have peace and serenity, away from the big Hawaii hotels and resorts but on their private peaceful tropical piece of Paradise (just like Oprah's special getwaway).

Here is 'the' Hawaii vacation home which offers you a nice combination of all the above in lovely Kailua-Kona of the Big Island, near best beaches. We'd like to introduce the unique Lako House in Kalua-Kona on the Big Island. 'Lako' is to replenish! With incredible panoramic ocean views, a cool dip in the pool, just hanging with friends/family pool side or on the lanai, Lako House in a quiet part of Kona truly embraces a complete fulfillment of 'lako'. Visiting Lako House picture gallery makes you want to be there, right now!

This is your rare chance for an incredible Hawaii vacation with friends or family at a big discount. Call the Kona Vacation Home owner today with your discount code HAF628: 808-329-6804 / 408-930-2758 or email and ask for your special discount from our blog. The vacation home owner has just extended his Promotion Special for the following dates: 7/1 - 7/5, 8/1 - 8/11 and 8/22 - 913/07. He is awaiting your call. Have a wonderful vacation in Hawaii! Visit this page for more Hawaii vacation rental discounts.

And for those who are not familiar with Kailua-Kona. This is the town which is known all over the world for the famous Hawaii Triathlon - Big Island Ironman in October. But there is so much more...just a few miles from downtown Kona, one can find the best snorkel and scuba diving spots on the Big Island, in Kealakekua Bay and at City of Refuge. From Kona it's a short 11/2hr trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park which provides more excitement and adventure than any of the other Hawaiian islands. If you want to know more about Kona, visiting Kona and the Big Island, visit KonaWeb.

As usual, we'd love to hear from you, about your Hawaii experience and Hawaii vacation plans. Aloha, Pua Kohala Coast Vacation Guide

Last but not least, with Hawaiian Airline one-way special rates at low $25, it's time for island hopping again. Hawaiian Airlines even offers special car rental packages. Special spring air fares from Hawaiian are available till June 7.

Visit Hawaii for Hawaiian Festivals

This post is sponsored by Hawaii Affordable

Summer time in Hawaii means festival time, also for the island of Oahu. The Annual 28th Pan-Pacific Festival - Matsuri in Hawaii is coming up June 8 - 10 Come and join us in the fun at the annual Pan-Pacific Festival. This annual event is a cross-cultural exchange between the people of Hawaii, Japan, Mainland USA and other Pan-Pacific regions. Come and see 'Taiko' drums from different regions of Japan, along with performances by local and Japanese hula dancers. Plus many other traditional cultural arts.

At the same time, there will be another big celebration, the 135th Annual King Kamehameha Celebration on June 8th and 9th. It was first declared a holiday in 1871 by Kong Kamehameha in honor of his grandfather King Kamehameha the Great who unified the Hawaiian Kingdom. Events include a statue draping ceremony, music & hula performances and a Floral Parade, followed by festivals at Queen Kapiolani Park in Waikiki. The Festival includes cultural demonstrations, food, and entertainment. All events are free.

With us being big fans of the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon in October - the next Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Championship takes place in Kailua Kona October 13, 2007 - we don't want to forget to mention a big athletic event, just shortly before the Pan-Pacific Festival starts. It's the Hawaiian Half Marathon and 5-mile Run/Walk on Oahu on June 3. This half marathon starts off at 5:00 a.m. at Magic Island, goes through Waikiki, around Diamond Head, and finishes at Kapiolani Park, for a scenic and challenging run. Length is 13 miles, and the course is USATF certified. The fun run/walk is 5 miles long, and starts at 7:00 a.m., on Monsarrat Ave., next to the Waikiki Shell. The course will be two laps around Kapiolani Park. For more information on the Hawaiian Half Marathon on Oahu, you may call: (808) 926-8177.

Remember when planning your visit to Hawaii later this year, you might want to consider being on the Hawaiian Islands for the Aloha Festival, which is a nation wide cultural event each year in September. See all upcoming events of the 2007 Aloha Festival, a celebration of Hawai'i's music, dance and history intended to preserve the unique island traditions.

Enjoy Hawaii and the Hawaiian people. Aloha Pua, Kohala Coast Vacation Guide

Hawaiian calendar girls

This post is sponsored by Hawaii Spring Break Specials

Have you ever wondered where we got those beautiful photos of Hawaiian ladies from?

When we started our Best Hawaii Vacation Blog July last year, we originally had no photos with our Hawaii vacation posts. Oops, that did not work well. Soon visitors to our blog told us to include Hawaii photos because the beauty of Hawaii, the Hawaiian beaches and the Pacific Ocean make people want to come for a vacation to Hawaii.

Well, we contemplated our options and decided for a combination of photos showing the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian girls. Having lived in Hawaii ourselves for so long, we had no shortage of photos of Hawaii and tropical images. And we were lucky with the Hawaiian girls photos too. Our good friend Kawika had started his WahineStyle.com website where he has been posting his photos of Hawaiian girls for about two years. We liked his Hawaiian girls calendars a lot and so the idea was born to promote his site by publishing WahineStyle girls as post girls on our Best Hawaii Vacation Blog.

Well, coincidence or not but all the posts with the Wahine Hawaiian girls as post girls are doing great and show up in Google's search engine results. It must be the perfect combination of interesting Hawaiian topic presented by a beautiful Hawaiian girl. This post is meant as a big mahalo to Kawika and the girls from Hawaii. The 2008 calendar is under production. Banners and wallpapers are available as well. Good luck Kawika for your WahineStyle success.

For all those who missed our Hawaiian post girls, see our top posts from Best Hawaii Vacation Blog. Please, vote for the best post and post girl!
