Traveling to West Maui with Aloha and Respect

Being a mindful visitor is the best way to support Maui’s recovery. Here are a few ways to travel with “pono” (righteousness and respect) during your visit.

  • Shop and Eat Locally: Many small businesses in the open areas of West Maui (including nearby Kaanapali and Kapalua) are owned by local families. Your patronage directly supports their livelihood. For a community-curated list of open businesses, we recommend visiting official resources like mauinuifirst.com.

  • Be Patient and Kind: The community has been through a lot. A little extra patience and aloha in traffic, at restaurants, and in shops goes a long way in showing your support.

  • Stay on the Path: Please do not stop on the highway to view the burn zone or enter any closed areas. Respecting these boundaries is crucial for the privacy and healing of the residents.

  • Consider Volunteering: For visitors interested in “mālama ʻāina” (caring for the land), the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority recommends checking for volunteer opportunities through mauinuistrong.info.

We encourage all visitors to be extremely mindful and respectful, to support local businesses, and to consult MauiNuiStrong.info before traveling.

How far is Kahului Airport (OGG) from the open areas of Lahaina?

The accessible areas of Lahaina are approximately 25 miles from OGG, with a typical drive time of 45-55 minutes in our private vehicles.

Can I book a return transfer from my vacation rental back to the airport?

Yes, we provide reliable round-trip services and can arrange your departure pickup from any accessible accommodation in the Lahaina area.

What if my flight into OGG is delayed?

We monitor your flight status in real-time. Your chauffeur will be waiting for you upon your arrival, regardless of any delays, at no additional cost.

Can we make a stop for groceries on the way from the airport?

Yes, this is a popular request, especially for guests staying in condos or vacation rentals. We can pre-arrange a 30-minute stop at a grocery store along the route. Please mention this when booking so we can build it into the schedule. An additional fee may apply.

Are your chauffeurs local to Maui?

Yes, all of our chauffeurs are Maui residents. This is fundamental to our service. It ensures you have a driver with deep local knowledge who can navigate efficiently and, most importantly, will operate with the utmost respect and sensitivity for the local community. They are not just drivers, but professional hosts for your journey.

Will our route take us through the historic Lahaina town burn zone?

No. Our routes from OGG to the open areas of West Maui intentionally bypass the sensitive burn zone of historic Lahaina town. This is done out of deep respect for the privacy and healing of the community. We kindly ask our guests to join us in this by refraining from asking to stop for photos or to view the affected areas.
