Kahului: Your Gateway to Maui’s Wonders

Kahului

Tropical beach with palm trees, turquoise water, and a lush green mountain in the background under a clear blue sky.

Step ashore in Kahului—an excellent entry point for your group’s Maui adventure—with America’s Best Cruises guiding the way. While the port itself may be more industrial than idyllic, your group’s journey beyond the dock will be anything but ordinary. From volcanic peaks to lush valleys, vibrant towns to serene beaches, Maui offers a rich blend of experiences for every kind of group.

Discover Maui from Kahului

Located on the north-central coast of the island, Kahului serves as Maui’s main deep-water cruise terminal.  Although the immediate port area is industrial and not the highlight, it places you in striking distance of Maui’s best scenery and activities.

From here, your group can venture to:

  • The dramatic summit of Haleakalā for sunrise above the clouds, or hike the crater rim at your own pace
  • The lush rainforest and twisting curves of the famous Hana Highway—a scenic drive full of waterfalls, viewpoints and hidden beaches. 
  • Snorkeling excursions or beach time at South or West Maui’s top resorts, reachable with a little planning
  • Local flavor in Kahului town – discover the Maui Swap Meet, local eateries and a taste of everyday Hawaiian life.

Whether your group seeks adventure, relaxation, culture or all of the above—Maui via Kahului delivers.

Convenient Access + Diverse Options

From Kahului, your group has the flexibility to:

  • Reach multiple island regions (east, west, south) within manageable time
  • Choose from a wide range of activities: nature hikes, scenic drives, cultural tours, beach time
