Things to Do
Nearby to your
Lahaina rental is Front Street, the main attraction, with a collection of shops and eateries. The self-guided walking tour is undoubtedly an excellent way to see the town while learning the fascinating history in a scenic way; plaques provide more details about each site. Banyan Tree Park, with its tree imported from India and the Jodo Mission, which is the site of the largest Buddha outside of Japan are two notable places to visit. Cemeteries, churches, courthouses, a lighthouse, a temple, pagodas, and a prison are a few of the remarkable collection visitors can explore for a visual timeline of Lahaina's past. Near your
Lahaina home are popular hikes with scenic trails. Discover the petroglyphs carved into Kilea's lava rock, a hike that takes approximately an hour.
