The Spirit of the Land: Maui’s Natural Heritage
The traditions of Maui are carved into its mountains and valleys. In ancient Hawaii, the ahupuaʻa system managed the land from the peaks to the sea, and nowhere is that connection more evident than in Lahaina. To truly understand the island, you must step off the sand and into the lush rainforests and volcanic ridges. Whether you are seeking a thrilling zipline flight, or a scenic exotic car rental, you’ve found the best of the West Side. Book your Lahaina land tour today!
From Royal Capitals to Mountain Peaks
Once the royal capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Lahaina’s land has hosted kings, adventurous botanists, and early explorers. Today, the town is a gateway to the National Register of Historic Places, but the adventure extends far beyond the streets. The rising slopes of the West Maui Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the world-class hiking tours and photography expeditions that make this region famous.
