Lahaina offers a full complement of daytime and nighttime activities. Even if you aren't staying on the West Side, you'll want to take a day and see the sights.

Every visit to Lahaina tends to start on Front Street. There's plenty of shopping, as well as a variety of historic highlights. Visit the Old Courthouse, the Banyan Tree and the former prison. For West Side shopping, stop by the Cannery Mall or the Cinema Center. It's wise to get your walking tour done in the early hours of the morning, leaving your afternoon free. This side of the island gets oppressively hot by mid-day, at which point you should head down to Ka'anapali Beach for swimming and sunbathing. If you're still in town by dinnertime, head back to Front Street for dinner. After dark, there are a few decent places to go. The jazz-and-cocktail crowd frequents BJ's Pizzeria or long time favorite Longhi's, while younger people flock to Maui Brews and Moose McGillycuddy's

Banyan Tree Park


You cannot miss it
Front Street
(between Hotel and Canal streets)
Maui and Molokai, HI 96761
United States
http://www.co.maui.hi.us/depar...
If you visit downtown Lahaina, you are sure to happen across this tree. If you did not plan on visiting downtown Lahaina, you should change your plans so that you can see this major landmark. The tree is well over 100 years old, and will probably endure for several hundred more years. It is 60 feet high and covers 200 feet of space. With 12 trunks and several hundred drooping branches, it looks more like a miniature jungle than anything else. Locals make crafts under its shade, boys swing from the branches and tourists stare in amazement.

Ka'anapali Beach


Maui's most famous beach
Ka'anapali, western shore of Maui
Maui and Molokai, HI 96761
United States
+1 808 667 5900
Along with Wailea, this is the resort hotspot of the island. Ka'anapali is Maui's equivalent of Waikiki Beach, although it comes nowhere close to being that big or busy. The entire beach is open to the public. Access is available through resort grounds, as are public restrooms and showers. Plenty of shops and restaurants are located right along the strip. The sands are warm and gold; the water is clear and flat. A major Ka'anapali landmark is Black Rock. Once known as soul's leap, this rock is still a popular jumping point for locals and particularly brave visitors.

This award-winning restaurant features food created with the freshest local and imported ingredients. The friendly servers will dazzle you with their knowledge of each day's dishes.

Moose McGillycuddy's


Local hotspot
844 Front Street
Maui and Molokai, HI 96761
United States
+1 808 667 7758
http://www.maui.net/~mooses/
A mixed crowd of locals and tourists frequents the establishment, downing drinks and dirty dancing on the crowded dance floor. In the daytime it does double-duty as a family-style bar and grill. Come on up for a burger and a cocktail, or wait until evening and join the party. Happy Hour is 3pm-6pm daily, but there are drink specials every night of the week. Take advantage of dollar drinks on Wednesday nights after 9:30pm. Be prepared for a long line if you arrive after 9pm.

Old Lahaina Courthouse


A Lahaina landmark
648 Wharf Street
(Lahaina Visitor Center)
Maui and Molokai, HI 96761
United States
+1 808 667 9193
http://www.visitlahaina.com
Originally used as a Customs House and Courthouse, this island landmark was built on a USD7,000 budget with stones from the Hale Piula. It was also used as a center for royal festivities and celebrations until 1898, when Hawai'i became a United States territory. Major renovations added a modern veneer to the historic building. The Courthouse is no longer the center of government activity on the island, as Wailuku is now the county seat. Instead, it is a visitor attraction and historic landmark, housing a gift shop and information center.

In the Center of Old Lahaina
658 Front St
Maui and Molokai, HI 96761
United States
+1 808 661 8748
Yet another of Lahaina Town's charming shopping destinations, this place is a favorite stop for tourists on the Front Street tour. It is located just across from the enormous Banyan Tree, and a mere few blocks from both Lahaina Centers. More than 50 shops and restaurants, including Tuna Luna and Tropical Artware Maui, are located in the Center. The namesake cinemas feature first-run films. The West Maui Shopping Express shuttles guests from Ka'anapali and Kahana to the Center several times a day. Credit card acceptance policy varies by merchant.
