Explore Maui

Lahaina’s history as a busy 19th century whaler’s town makes it fascinating and a worthy place to visit. Today in Maui the streets are very busy, filled with tourists. The old wooden shops that were originally home to saloons and provision stores are today crammed with galleries and quaint boutiques. Take a gander around the beautiful 19th Century Courthouse, which is today a gallery displaying works by Lahaina artists, Wo Hing Temple, the Baldwin House, and Hale Paahao Prison museum.

Kaanapali, just north of Lahaina, is more like Southern California, with its high-rises, far more developed than most parts of the island.

The snorkeling is brilliant at Black Rock. The southwestern coast is characterised by fast growing developments. Its entire length is fringed with sandy beaches. Surfers flock to Maalaea Bay, Maipoina Oe Iau Beach Park and Kamaole Beach Park offering perfect surfable waves. Keawakapu Beach is more scenic and less crowded if you prefer this. Kihei has become another popular, rapidly developing town, also lively by night like Lahaina and Kaanapali. 

Maui is an ideal mix of modern, convenient tourist facilities, good value accommodation and dining, with plenty of sunshine, perfect beaches (and people watching), entertainment and natural beauty.

By car you can explore and the island and visit; Waianapanapa State Park, Haleakala Crater Puu Ulaula Overlook and the many superb gardens.

Transport

By air
Maui’s main airport is in Kahului, serviced by Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines which operate between all of the islands. Maui also has two smaller commuter airports with scheduled air service: Kapalua West Maui Airport and Hana Airport. Island Air flies eight times daily into Kapalua West from Honolulu and twice daily into Hana from Honolulu, Kahului and Molokai.

Private shuttles run to other resorts scattered around the island. Car rentals available at Kahuhuli Airport include Thrifty, Hertz, National, Enterprise, Budget, Dollar, Alamo, and Avis. If you decide to hire a car please book online in advance for more options on cars, and to secure a car ready for your arrival.

By ferry
A small ferry operates around five times a day, to and from Lanai and Maui, costing passengers far less than a plane ticket and offers even better views than flying. The only downside is that it will take slightly longer.

The QE II makes an annual stop stopover in Hawaii (5 days from Mexico).
