Situated in pristine Pacific waters of Hawaii is the island of Maui, featuring its main city of Lahaina. A community built on the histories of native Hawaiian chiefs, American whalers and Christian missionaries alike, today Lahaina is a hotspot of tropical tourism and fun in the sun. Despite the city’s age and overall excellence, Lahaina has maintained a secluded and close-knit atmosphere, making it one of the friendliest and most accessible year-round tourist destinations in the state.
Maui welcomes air travel through Kahului Airport (OGG) located a short distance from the city. Book your trip to paradise today on our website (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) to start dreaming of sun, sweet smelling flowers, and friendly island inhabitants. While making flight arrangements, please peruse our options for booking hotels and accommodations in the Lahaina area, accessed through the following link (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl). Our number one selection for hotels in the city is the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa.
Your first step onto Front Street, Lahaina’s main street delineating the division between downtown Lahaina and the coast will feature numerous land attractions in addition to destinations in the surrounding areas, waters, and even islands! First on the list are the activities of Front Street itself are encompassing high-quality cuisine, fashion, shops, art galleries, and nightlife. If you visit during the month of October, EscapeWizard.com highly recommends the happening party scene on this famous street for Hawaii’s most famous Halloween festivities, including a parade and costume contests which can be viewed from the sidewalk or numerous bars and restaurants overlooking the fun below.
American whaling and missionary communities played key roles during the 19th century in boosting the growth and establishment of Lahaina as a whole. Take a trip to Lahaina’s Historic District, named a National Historical Landmark in 1962, and visit the nine buildings which comprise this historical settlement including a hotel, hospital, church, a few homes, and even a spring house. Dwight Baldwin, patriarch of one of Hawaii’s most influential families and father of the first man to start a pineapple business in the state, had a home located in this richly educational area. The house has been restored with period piece furnishings and converted into a museum, and is available for tours.
Once you have had your fill of the land, EscapeWizard.com encourages you to venture into the pristine oceanic surroundings of Lahaina and neighboring beaches including Kaanapali, a mere 5 minute trip from downtown Lahaina. At Lahaina and Kaanapali beaches alike, tourists can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and between the months of November and March, whale watching. During these months, humpback whales travel from Alaska to the warm waters of Hawaii to mate and raise their young. Simply sink your head below the ocean’s surface and you can hear whale songs from the shallows, only steps off the beach.
Just in case the beaches of Maui cease to sate your appetite for coastal paradise, numerous charter boats are available to the surrounding islands of Lanai and Molokini, the latter a world-renowned snorkeling and scuba destination. EscapeWizard.com recommends the Lahaina-Lanai passenger ferry to those seeking even more remote and isolated adventure on the island of Lanai, and numerous Molokini excursions to water enthusiasts of all ages.
