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.
