My husband and I are planning a trip to Maui in Oahu in March. We are in our early 30s with no children. We will be coming from Philadelphia (aka two long flights). Does anyone have an opinion for what the ideal amount of days to ';see what needs to be seen'; would be? We want to see Pearl Harbor and Waikiki Beach in Oahu and mostly just lay on the beach in Maui and do some sightseeing there (volcanoes and other notes of interest). We were thinking 8 or 9 nights. Any thoughts?
Amount of Days for Maui %26amp; Oahu TripYou can never spend TOO much time in Hawaii. If you stay Waikiki for three or four nights you can see the city and Pearl Harbor, then rent a car to see the north shore and east side.
Maui%26#39;s volcano is dormant: Haleakala. You can hike down into it. Many people schedule a sunrise trip and/or bike down from it. Most lodgings are on Maui%26#39;s west coast, in South Maui (SW) and West Maui (acutally the NW lobe of the island).
West Maui has more ';buzz'; with high rises and higher density -- and more traffic. South is more mellow. Nightlife, etc. -- Lahaina/Kaanapali. Quieter w/plenty of swiming and snorkeling beaches -- Wailea and South Kihei.
The ';Revealed'; books are good primers for all the islands. See wizardpub.com or Amazon.
