    Maui Hammock spots?

    Just booked a last minute quick 8-day trip to Maui, leaving Tuesday. I'm going to assist my mid-eighties parents make a trip that they have been doing yearly for 25 years but health and age has complicated travel so I'm plan B if something were to occur and to give my mother some break in care for my father. We are going to be a bit cooped up in a condo so the idea of having a night or two under the stars is appealing and I have room to work with for gear.

    I've never been to Hawaii so this may be a ridiculous post but I will have access to a rental and could either drive and park or even be dropped off and picked up the next morning so would consider a variety of options that won't get me shot or unreasonably fined. I could even pack in a few miles with a worthy goal.

    Anybody have ideas? Will be based at Napili Bay on the west coast. Doing some googling but figured I'd ask here as well.

    Wherever you end up with your hammock, be sure to check the local “vib” from locals, not an online travel site. Even though Hawaii is part of the US, to some locals, we are still … “visitors”.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    My son has lived on Maui for decades. He's a carpenter, upholsterer, mountain bike guide, and surf bum. Unfortunately, mentioning my name falls under one of those "get shot" possibilities if you do

    Yeah, not looking to get in trouble or anything, certainly not with the locals. I think I was just looking for a viable excuse to throw quilts and a tarp in the check-on.

    Aloha, so it turns out that the unit at Napili Bay that my folks have stayed at for years has a totally private open air patio off the living room that was an awesome surprise after learning that the State Parks are still under a covid closure. Almost didn't bring my Solo and UQ but so glad I did.

    Not exactly the world's best hammock site but it is about 60 barefoot feet from here.
