This video should probably become a national archive, or at least a state archive film for Lahaina.

Thank God you were moved to create this thorough tour of Lahaina. You had no idea the importance of it at the time, but it is forever a blessing to millions now.

[Caitlinme]

I will treasure this video forever. Nothing left here, but ashes and memories. so heartbreaking, so tragic. I love Lahaina. I’ve been going there every year for the past 20 years. 💔💔💔

[reenym]

Thank you for capturing Lahaina and its beauty forever. My heart is broken for all the people, animals and history lost in the devastating fire.

[mysaviour]

Wow thank you so much for making this video. You don’t know how valuable this is and I bet you never knew how important this would become at the time you made it. Being from Australia and not having travelled to Maui before I really appreciate knowing what this beautiful island looked like - thank you again and sorry for your loss

This is sacred film now.
For those that have been or never been, it’s frozen in time.
And great video. Letting the sights and sounds present themselves as
If you are there. Beyond the peace and joy you felt visiting, but all the residents that live on the streets nearby. To feel happy and devastated at the same time viewing this. It’s a human thing, a holy thing, to love what death has touched.

Thank you for sending this video on you tube . It helps people who never been to Maui get an idea what it use to be before and now August 19, 2023. I give my deepest sympathies 🙏🏼

My husband is a Maui boy, born and raised, part Hawaiian and I lived there for 12 years. We moved to the mainland recently and while we didn’t live in Lahaina, I worked there for a while and have friends with shops there. I just cried watching your video! After watching so much destruction, it was so refreshing to my soul to see the magical place I spent so much time in. Thank you.❤️

This is a beautifully made walking tour. Who could have ever imagined a mere 6 months later it would all be gone? Thank you for doing this and keeping it in our memories. My thoughts are so very much with the people, and every time I saw an employee or obvious resident, I said a little prayer that they made it out ok.

My wife and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary in Maui last October, and drove/walked those very streets. In getting ready for the trip, I spent time looking at videos, researching the culture, and learning about how to be as respectful as possible to this land. That work allowed me to have a very strong appreciation for it when I actually got there, and experienced an unexpected connection to it. No grief can compare to what's happening front-line, boots-on-the-ground, but my heart wishes I had the time, freedom & money to pack a bag and catch a flight there to just help any way that I could. Prayers for all lost, affected, hurting, and trying to figure out what's next.

Your video is now a historical document. I am so sorry it had to be that way. Thank you for helping us to see what was lost.

[jaxsmith]

Thank you for filming and documenting so well the beauty of Lahaina. You filmed this almost 6 months to the day of the disastrous fires, I believe you were given this mission by a higher power. God bless you and the people of Lahaina and Maui.

[tigerphid]

What a beautiful place, and a terrible loss. I had never heard of Lahaina before the fire, and now I will never forget it.

[MissBe]

It was a very quaint, beautiful town. Praying for the people of Lahaina ❤

[The_Sunset_King]

It's so perfect, I bet if you tried to warn anyone of the disaster to come, it wouldn't even sound possible. My heart goes out to all the families affected by this.
May it come back better and more beautiful than ever!

[stephaniebohn]

I never been to Lahaina thank you for presenting this recent video of it’s glory days. It was beautiful. The residence of the town make it who it is. Stay strong and prays to all.

[donnaleong]

Wow! What a beautiful video capturing each street, the building structures, the old Banyan tree, the school, the museums, churches and neighborhoods. You did an excellent job narrating and you captured the aloha of the city.
May the spirit of the people and culture build back up from the ashes after the devastating fire that wiped out the entire city. I hope they find out who and what really started the fires. God bless all those who have passed and those who survived this devastating fire. With much aloha and love for the wonderful video you have shared with all of us. This is a historic video.

My heart goes out to our brothers and sisters of Maui and especially Lahaina. My favorite place to visit each time. I ONLY have great memories from Lahaina. Sending love and prayers to all who lost businesses HOMES pets and loved ones.

If you know of a local raiding money, i rather donate to locals then red cross etc... thank

[megg.]

Your tour is now historical, a memory of the past

[tabp]

What a beautiful tribute to Lahaina ❤ (not that you knew that when you filmed this), especially for those of us who never got to visit there.

May the souls that lost their lives rest in peace.🕊

Thank you for this walking tour Nomadic Monkey.
