Dining

DO make reservations in advance especially when you're dining as a group! I am happy to assist with this. You can also dine in smaller groups - I'd still make reservations whenever possible.

Groceries: Grocery deliver through instacart and shipt is available in Maui and Oahu. There are also grocery stores within the area. Grocery store catering with family style meals, sandwich platters, and charcuterie is a good alternative to dining out.

You won't have a full kitchen in Oahu so plan to cook most of your meals in Maui which works out well because there are fewer restaurants within walking distance. In Oahu you'll be in the heart of Waikiki and will have access to a variety of dining within walking distance.
