Babymoon To Maui
Jordan and I always knew we wanted to do a babymoon as a last hoorah before baby came we talked about where and Maui just felt right, it is where we fell in love after all! I can honestly say our babymoon was my favorite trip we’ve done probably ever, and Jordan agrees! It was so nostalgic and sentimental. We’ve been back to Maui a handful of times since I lived there but this time was so special. We mostly took quick iphone shots vs toting around our dslr and it was such a nice change. And yes, we did take our own maternity photos hahaha not too shabby if you ask me!
I wanted to share some of my favorite MAUI activities (even pregnant!)
ROAD TO HANA - This is always my favorite day! There is SO many amazing and adventurous things to do and see along the way! Wake up EARLY it is a full day endeavor, do your research beforehand of what stops you definitely want to make figure out which milemarker they are at, pack lots of good snacks! Also, if you are driving and see something that sparks your interest like a waterfall on the side of the road that’s calling your name for a quick dip pull over and HOP IN!!!
some of my favorite stops are
Three Bears Falls mm 19
Black Sand Beach mm 32 THIS IS A MUST SEE!!
Venus Pools mm 48.1
Waimoku Falls + Bamboo Forrest mm 42
SNORKELING AT HONOLUA - The walk through the jungle to get to the water is alone worth coming for! This spot is a busy one but for good reason! Make sure you swim out far enough to see the good stuff, usually out near where the catamarans are anchored!
WAIHEE RIDGE TRAIL - I love this hike because the views are INSANELY GORGEOUS annnd you don’t have to do the entire hike to get those views! My little preggo self couldn’t quite make it all the way up but it was still so insanely beautiful!
NAKELELE BLOWHOLE - This whole area is so gorgeous!
BEACH HOPPING- Maui has the most incredible beaches and a lot of them!! See as many of them as you can! Some of our favorites are Black Rock & Kaanapali Beach (fun cliff jumping + snorkeling), Napili Bay, Kapalua Bay, Secret Beach, Big Beach.
FOOD
ULULANI’S SHAVE ICE - If you forgo the opportunity to try Ululani’s you just aren’t living right! They have THEEEE best shave ice on the planet! I highly recommend getting the macnut ice cream in the bottom and trying melona for one of your flavors!
MAMA’S FISH HOUSE - This place is a must must for my seafood lovers. By far the most recommended restaurant on the island!
KOA’S - They have amazing breakfasts & lunch! Their banana mac pancakes with coconut syrup are no longer on the menu but they will make them for you anyway! The Gazebo is known for theirs but there is usually at least an hour wait and Koa’s are just as good imo! Their breakfast burritos are also super yummy annnd their lunch menu is awesome!!
COOL CAT CAFE - Yummy burger joint on Front Street!
TEDDY’S BURGERS - One of our favorite local burger chains!
MONKEY POD - Super yummy and unique foods! We usually hit this for dinner and then take a walk along Kaanapali beach!
CHOICE HEALTH BAR - ACAI BOWLS BABY! These definitely aren’t the best I’ve had but they are still good! Next time I’m in Maui finding the best acai bowl is top of my list!
