Kahului, Maui

Tuesday June 23, 2009


Kahului has the odd distinction of being a Maui town that few visitors every mention when asked to name a town on Maui. Yet almost every visitor to the island spends some part of their vacation in Kahului.

Kahului is where the island's main airport is located, where visitors rent their cars, where they shop at one of the big box stores such as Cosco, Kmart or Walmart and through which they drive on the way to Hana, Haleakala or Upcountry Maui.

Kahului is all of that, but a whole lot more as well. Let's take a closer look at Kahului - how it came to be and what you'll find there.
