   The local or loco screaming 😱 is shameful, without tourists, you probably would be paying even higher taxes than you surely are 🤦🏼

   I wonder knowing what you know now, how you would have done things differently?

   In the 1974 when I was in college one of the PE classes I took was backpacking in Maui for 2 weeks. There were 30 of us and it was an adventure of a lifetime. We hiked the road to Hana and swam in many of the waterfall pools along the way. We had permits to came next to the Seven Sacred Falls for 2 days. Beautiful area and sunrises and sunsets. We also did the trail through the rainforest but the trail was just muddy and no planks to walk on. We also swam at the waterfall. Our group were the only ones there. We also had the black sand beach to ourselves. When my wife and I got married in 1981 we went to Maui and drove the road to Hana and a very different experience. Both were terrific.
   Sorry you had some difficult people to deal with. Everyone we met was so friendly but it wasn't that crowded back then. I always enjoy you videos. Thanks for sharing your trip. It brought back many terrific memories for me.
   Maybe well see you on the road sometime while Rving.
   Safe travels

   Actually their are too much traffic on the road to Hana. I think locals would prefer you do a helicopter tour and stay off their road. That is the vibe I got when in Hawaii.

   Seems peeps who get to live in these beautiful places are so pissy. Must be rough.

   I’m sure it’s a different experience because of Covid and increased tourism. We had an amazing experience two years ago. Maybe being in a van is not the best idea. Perhaps a car and a day trip would have been a better choice.

    I spent 4 of the most amazing months of my life exploring Hawaii, and your assessment of the locals is spot on. Fortunately for you guys, your attitude was also! You're exactly correct—there is A LOT of history (that happened not too long ago compared to the rest of America's history) and enough locals (understandably) still harbor a lot of resentment towards mainlanders and tourists. It made me happy that you guys took the time to understand and respect why/where the animosity is coming from and didn't let it ruin your trip. Also, Marissa's mandated order to watch the sunrise cracked me up! I'm so glad your family had a wonderful time.

    I’ve biked to and from Hana when I lived in Hawaii years ago. Even back then motorists were not always very patient. But it is worth the trip.

    one problem is these channels are giving away all the 'secret' spots locals love. as a 4×4 jeep family I have seen so many of my favorite spots ruined because everyone has GPS now and wants to follow some video recommendation. turn the cameras off and enjoy family time

    I totally understand 😂one time me and my wife we were in Panama and the Uber driver was saying how peaceful ppl and place was and one minute later I witnessed a road rage 😤 two cars down a driver gets out off the car, walked up to the driver that was blocking the road and punched the lights out of the driver that was blocking the road I was speechless 😶 and burst out 😂 on how peaceful ppl are

    You are braver than me. We did the road to Hana in a mini van and I wouldn't have done it in anything bigger. We did the hike to the bamboo forest and the sounds they make are so cool. The sad thing is the waterfall trail was closed so we didn't get to see the waterfall.

    I have traveled to many countries and never felt like I was an unwanted visitor more than when I went to Maui.

    It sounds like the issues you had were all related to the vehicle you were driving. Probably not an issue if you were in a car.
