Things to do in Lahaina, Hawaii (HI): The Best Day Trips from

May 31, 2021 Trinity Boughner

Lahaina, the former Hawaiian capital, was the center of the global whaling trade, and its Historic District is a National Historic Landmark. Traditional Hawaiian luaus, surf lessons and tours on horseback are fun, but let’s be realistic—you wouldn’t be in Hawaii if you didn’t want to go to the beach. Try Ka’anapali Beach, one of Maui’s best.

Demian really came through for us in a pinch. We didn't realize Spring Break was occurring, but he was able to get us set up with Zach and we had a blast. As a head's up for anyone wondering about visiting Hawaii during Covid, do your research. The landscape is changing all the time. At the time of our trip, the state is still not at full capacity. Also, if anyone is wondering how to interisland travel. There is a 72 hour window. In order to visit Maui, we got tested Thursday at Walgreen's in our home state, had results in 2 hours, and registered for 2 trips on Hawaii's Safe Travels site. We flew into Honolulu on Friday, flew into Maui on Saturday for a day trip, then returned to Honolulu for the rest of our vacation. The Safe Travels line moved faster in Honolulu than coming into Maui. Zach was able to pick up at the airport in the morning, cater a day tour to what we were interested in seeing, and got us back to the airport with enough time to make it back with no issues. I encourage you to take the time to give these guys a try. I reached out to another company, and they gave me bad info about Safe Travels, and I'm glad I didn't listen to them.

Drive was very nice but the information that was passed from the tour guide to us was the most impactful! Tom was very knowledgable, good sense of humor, and pleasant to talk with throughout the day. His calm demeanor, under such stressful driving routes, was very impressive. Waterfalls were beautiful and timing/pace was good overall. Highly recommend the tour over trying to go at it yourself! If at all possible, ask for Tom as your tour guide! And leave him a tip after your tour and/or a review here! Thanks Tom!

Alec was super accommodating from the start. He picked my daughter and me up from the hotel, gauged our adventure level, and we were off. We did the half day tour and it was jam packed! Bamboo forrest, water falls, lunch...it was all fantastic. Along the way Alec was caring - did we need anything, be careful with your footing, want more pictures, etc. Really glad we chose Jungle Tours Maui for this experience. I didn't want a large group to be tromping around with us so a private tour was perfect. Highly recommended!

We’ve travelled the “Road to Hana” several times. Driven it twice. Rode once in a 12 passenger van on a tour. This time we took the private tour with Maui Legend Tours. Our guide was Jack, he’s been in Hawaii since 1979 and knows a lot of the history and local culture. We found his knowledge of Hawaiian history and his ability to share it very pleasurable. He stopped at multiple sites along the road and gave us ample time for pictures. This was a “high end” tour in an Escalade and we enjoyed it immensely.
