About Kahului
Kahului is Maui's main town and commercial harbour, set on the island's flat central isthmus between the West Maui Mountains and the slopes of Haleakala. The town itself is practical rather than scenic, with shopping centres beside the port, but it is the most central base on the island.
Within half an hour are the green walls of ʻIao Valley and its needle-like peak, the surf town of Paʻia and the beaches of Kihei and Wailea. Longer days take in the summit of Haleakala or the start of the Road to Hana, usually on a ship tour or with a rental car.
