Lahaina at a Glance
Often considered the home of Hawaii's heritage, what appears to be a sleepy port town is in fact an active fishing village bustling with life. Holidays to Lahaina are a world away from some of Hawaii's big and bold party trips but the busy port and friendly local life will keep any holidaymaker happy underneath the Hawaiian sunshine. With buildings dating back into the 18th century, a holiday in Lahaina lets the history buffs soak up the past, rather than rays!
Top attractions in Lahaina
On a holiday in Lahaina days won't be spent queuing in theme parks or dancing until dawn. Instead expect a peaceful and cultured break where the combination of sun, sea and history is just right. With a distinct island culture and a very chilled out lifestyle, sometimes it’ll be hard to remember you’re in the USA!
- It's not often that a floating museum appears in a holiday itinerary, so a visit to the Carthaginian Floating Museum while on holiday on Hawaii island of Maui is a must. Climb aboard the huge steel ship and inside you'll find a shrine to the village's whaling history.
- With peaceful clear water and basking sunshine, holidays in Lahaina are already tranquil. However, if you're searching for that extra serenity, a trip to Jodo Mission will leave you feeling brand new. With the biggest Buddha outside of Japan, the Jodo Mission is a dedication to the peace and beauty of the religion.
- The harbour is the life and soul of the village and, in such a small place, it would be impossible to go on holiday to Lahaina and miss the port. Surrounded by quaint restaurants, cafes and shops, the harbour is the perfect place to wind down after a day of exploring or people-watch as the fishing boats come in first thing.
- Holidaymakers would be forgiven for walking straight past the Hale Pa'ahoa Prison during their Lahaina holiday. Tucked away amongst the trees, the building looks little more than a house. Spot it by the large 'Hanging Tree' outside, a breadfruit tree called Ulu Kau Heana, the prison was used from the early 1850s for petty criminals.
