This is actually not as much about the particulars of using large format gear in Maui, as I have yet to get my first camera, and more to do with the experience of exploring Maui for 12 days and taking photos while I am there, so just a bit of forewarning on answers and replies in this thread.

I am traveling to Maui with my fiance (will by then be my wife!) Jasmine from August 14th until August 26th. We are arriving on the 14th at 4pm and then driving straight to Haiku. We'll stay there for 5 nights, followed by 2 nights in Kula and then on to Kihei for the remaining 5 days. We rented a 4 wheel drive Jeep, so access should not be a problem when it comes to rugged terrain.

We will be driving Hana road for a day trip. We have some suggestions from friends about local spots and secluded areas, but I'd love to hear what else you all might suggest. Love this community and I am excited to hear what all you guys have seen and admire about this beautiful island!

Fire away at will!
