LAHAINA WILDFIRES
Lahaina’s historic downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods were severely impacted by the unprecedented wildfire that swept through the town in August 2023.
The fires’ impact was specific to the historic parts of the town and the immediate surrounding neighborhoods. Neighborhoods just to the North and South were largely spared.
Progress is slowly being made, with some restaurants and the Old Lahaina Luau reopening. The Hawaiian Tourism Authority has launched “Mākaukau Maui,” or “Maui is Ready,” in March 2024 to encourage visitors to return to the island.
We are all happy that Maui is welcoming visitors back to the island. When visiting Maui’s resort communities in Wailea, Ka’anapali, and Kapalua, please contribute to the recovery by supporting local businesses. Mahalo!
LAHAINA
Maui’s main gateway is Kahului International Airport. Kahului is well-served by major US domestic carriers, which offer nonstop service to Maui from cities across the US. The US West Coast has ample flights, with multiple departures from LA, San Francisco, and Seattle, and nonstop service from several secondary airports. Nearby Kapalua Airport, which serves West Maui, is preferred for private and inter-island flights due to its proximity.

Things to Do
Whale Watching
The channel between Lahaina and the island of Lana’i is a favorite place for whale-watching cruises during the winter months. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the spectacle, which never gets old! Until Lahaina Harbor is restored, you can join cruises that sail from Ka’anapali Beach and Maalaea Harbor to the south. These cruises will allow you to observe humpback whales at a safe distance as they put on a show, including fin flapping and breaching.
