Airports

Arriving in Maui

The island of Maui is home to two airports, Kahului and Kapalua. The majority of flights to Maui originate in the Hawaiian capital, so your airfares to Maui will likely include a stopover in Honolulu. Kahului Airport (OGG) is the main airport receiving flights to Maui. It is located on the north side of the island and provides easy access to hotels and towns across the island. Kapalua Airport (JHM) is a small airport in the west of Maui and operates short-haul flights to and from a few destinations around Hawaii.

Getting to your hotel from Kahului Airport (OGG)

The best option for traveling to your hotel hassle-free is to catch a shuttle from the airport. Shuttle services offer rides to hotels and accommodations in towns across the island. Shuttles run regularly throughout the day, and reservations are not required. You can simply visit the Shuttle Service counter at the airport and book on to the next shuttle departing to your area of Maui. Each shuttle passenger is allowed two suitcases and a carry-on free of charge, making this the perfect option if you are travelling with several pieces of luggage. Shuttle prices vary between $10 and $44 per person, depending how far your hotel is from the airport.

From Kahului Airport, you can catch a public bus to several locations around Maui County. There are two bus routes, the Upcountry Islander and the Haiku Islander. Each of these bus routes pick up passengers from the airport every 90 minutes. Major stops along the Upcountry Islander route include Queen Ka‘ahumanu Centre, Kulamalu Town Centre, and Hali‘imaile Park. The Haiku Islander route also makes a stop at Queen Ka‘ahumanu Centre, then continues on to Kahului Shopping Centre, Paia Town, and Haiku Marketplace. Bus fare costs $2, and there is a strict policy that luggage cannot be larger than carry-on size.

Getting to your hotel from Kapalua Airport (JHM)

As Kapalua is such a small airport, there are no public transport options to travel from the airport to your hotel. For the best rates, you can pre-book an airport transfer with a variety of taxi and shuttle companies. SpeediShuttle and Akina Tours and Transportation offer affordable rates and can drop you off to hotels all over the island of Maui.

Drive the Road to Hana

The Hana Highway is a scenic road located along the north of Maui, starting in Kahului and stretching about 80 km to the town of Hana in the east. All along the highway, there are some amazing views of the ocean, waterfalls, and rainforest. You can book onto a tour of the Road to Hana, but the best way to experience it is to rent a car and do a self-driving tour at your own pace. Some of the most notable stops along the Road to Hana include Waikani Falls, Paia Town, Twin Falls, Kahanu Garden, and Waianapanapa State Park.

Lounge on the Beach

Napili Beach is a quiet beach on the west of Maui that’s perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Wailea Beach is located on Maui’s southwest coast and is one of the most popular beaches in all of Hawaii. The water is usually calm, making Wailea Beach a great spot for snorkelling, and if you visit in winter, whale sightings are common. If you’re an avid surfer, Hookipa Beach is the one for you. It’s located on the north coast of Maui near Paia and has some great surfing conditions. You may even spot some Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles while you’re there!

Haleakala National Park

Haleakala is a large national park located on the eastern side of Maui. The major feature of this national park is the Haleakala Volcano, which last erupted several hundred years ago. The volcano makes up one major portion of the national park, and the coastal area makes up another. Throughout Haleakala, you’ll be treated to beautiful scenery and a diverse look at Hawaiian nature. Within the Summit District, there are several great hikes, and camping is a popular activity. This part of the national park is known for some impressive stargazing at night and sunrises in the morning. In the Kipahulu Coastal District, you’ll see lots of scenic beaches and waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled in this area, and you may be able to spot some sea turtles, dolphins, and seals. Visit in the winter, and you may even see some humpback whales swimming past.

Snorkelling and Diving

Just off the coast of Maui, you’ll find lots of beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish. The best way to experience them is to go snorkelling or diving.

Waianapanapa State Park

One of the most unique features of the park are its volcanic black sand beaches. Next to the beaches, you can see some beautiful tide pools that are unique as well. A few times a year, the water in the pools turns red. While it’s caused by the arrival of small prawns, Hawaiian folklore says this is the blood of a Hawaiian princess who was killed in a nearby cave. Some other points of interest within Waianapanapa State Park are a rock arch, lava tubes, caves, and blowholes.

Attend a Hawaiian Luau

Luaus are traditional Hawaiian parties that are a great way to learn more about local culture. Luaus always involve a huge feast of local dishes, Hawaiian music, and hula dancing.
