LAHAINA

In this historic whaling village, the old grog shops and ships’ chandlers have been transformed into more than 40 art galleries and a wide range of restaurants.

Once known as Lele, which means “relentless sun” in Hawaiian, Lahaina’s sunny climate and oceanfront location offers a beautiful view of the island of Lanai and stunning West Maui sunsets.

Once the capitol of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Lahaina is   also on the National Register of Historic Places. You can still explore Lahaina’s rich history by following the signs on Lahaina’s Historic Trail located throughout town.

While you dine at a seaside restaurant, don’t forget to scan the ocean for humpback whales – Maui’s warm waters are a whale sanctuary during the winter. Even these magnificent humpbacks can’t get enough of Lahaina.

This is the largest banyan tree in the U.S. at over 60 feet high and covering almost an acre.
