Maui Vacation Rentals

Getting to Maui

Traveling to Maui is easy and convenient. If you are journeying here by air, you will most likely arrive at the Kahului Airport, the largest airport and only international one in Maui, located on the outskirts of Kahului on Maui Island. From here, you can board an inter-island plane and depart to other islands in the county, including Moloka’i, Lanai, and Kaho’olawe. From the airport, there are several ways to travel to other destinations on the island. If you wish to reach the city of Kahului, the largest on Maui, getting there is quick and easy from the airport, which is located only 2.5 miles from the city center. You have the option of taking a bus from the airport, such as the number 35 and 40, which will take you directly into the city. If you wish to visit other locations on the island, there are a number of bus routes available from Kahului.

You also have the option of taking a taxi, airport bus, or rental car at the airport. This last option is most visitors' preference in terms of comfort and convenience. If your destination is on Molokai, the county’s second largest island, a taxi, airport bus, or rental car is needed to reach your location.

Maui and its Cuisine

Maui offers Pacific island cuisine, using the freshest of Hawaiian ingredients in its delicious dishes. Some highlights include beef from cows raised on Maui’s upland pastures, diverse vegetables and fruit grown in rich volcanic soil, and a staggering variety of seafood from the beautiful turquoise waters surrounding the island. Indulge in diverse Maui cuisine, and be amazed by the mouthwatering food served here.

If you wish to get further from the coastline, take a snorkeling tour to Molokini Island, off the coast of Maui, where you can experience some of the best marine sights in the state. There is also an incredible number of hiking trails for active travelers, including walks in Haleakalā National Park, a volcanic park in eastern Maui, the beautiful West Maui Mountains, and Iao Valley, a popular location due to its setting among fantastic mountainous formations.
