I will be meeting my husband in Honalulu in July and traveling to Lahaina to meet family. What do you recommend for transportation to Lahaina from Honalulu? This is out of my element. PLEASE HELP with ideas and suggestions?
Thanks~!
Lahaina is in Maui and Honolulu is in Ohau. They are two different islands. The easiest transport is via air either Hawaiin Airlines or Mukalele Air. You can look on either one for air fares. From the airport in Maui, Lahaina is about a 35-40 minute drive so your will need a car to get around. You can also rent this on line as well.
Take Island Air from HNL to JHM. JHM is 10 minutes from Lahaina and a lot better airport to fly in/out of to that side of the island. It is a small airport and very laid back. If you get there an hour before your flight you will probably be the only person in the airport.
If you are not going to do any driving, take a taxi into Lahaina for about $20 and save the car cost. If you want to drive around then still take the taxi and then rent a car for the days you want to explore. Rental cars can be expensive so I wouldn't rent one if I didn't need to.
We travel to that area frequently so let me know where you are staying and I can give you some ideas on where to eat. Our most favorite is Mala's on Front Street just behind the Safeway. Also, Io's and Lahanina Grill are good. Kimo's is great for prime rib, biggest cut of prime rib I have ever seen.
James is correct regarding flying into Kapalua Airport just a few miles from Lahaina. I lived in Lahaina for several years and I can give you a ton of information on Lahaina, and the rest of my Maui. Maui no ka oi. (Maui is the best). Holla if you need more information.
Aloha nui loa
KIHEI Kehei(key-hay) is a nice little beach town about 30 miles south of Lahaina on the same side of the island. it's got a really nice beach and there's all kinds of stores to rent scuba and surf gear. Also, they have some great houses with lofts and kitchens for rent.(Sorry, I don't know the name). If you tell your travel agent you want to rent a house in Kehei they will know which ones I'm talking about.
Restaurant chain from the movie Bubba Gump. Great atmosphere and location! Is right on the shore! Windows are open and the evening breeze blows right through the restaurant! The staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much the first night, we went back the next night! Bucket of Boat Trash!! Included various fried seafood (shrimp, fish, etc.) with fries in a galvanized bucket! Also have great drinks and desserts.
The Banyan Tree
This massive banyon tree is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. This is one tree, the roots are all connected together and all started from one tree. The tree was planeted in 1873 and was only 8 feet tall.
Lahaina means 'Cruel Sun'. Legend has it that there was a chief named Hua many generations ago who, in a huff, killed all of his priests. Drought soon followed, and villagers referred to the area as the land of the cruel sun.
Lahaina is a quaint, adorable harbor town (as I call it). It has the main dock areas for going on all the tourist activities like whale watching, snorkeling, etc. You can walk around the cute downtown area for shopping and great dining, or you can lay on the grass at the Banyon Tree park, or take a walk through the historical courthouse that has a museum in it. I loved Lahaina, probably one of my favorite places in Maui.
When we were in the park musicians were playing and various vendors were in the park selling their wares. Great atmosphere and the tree is totally cool.
Walking around and shopping is a fun thing to do in Lahaina. It seems like every other store was a jewelry store. There are lots of restaurants, clothing shops, trinket shops, etc. If you are hot find the Dairy Queen and get a cold ice cream cone, tastes great and cools you off.
