Getting in

• Kahului Airport: This is Maui’s practical gateway for Kīhei. Rent a car at the airport if you plan to see more than beaches and restaurants: the drive to central Kīhei is roughly 20–30 minutes. If you are staying put in Kīhei, Uber/Lyft is the sensible alternative at about $30–45; taxis run roughly $40–55. The cheap option is Maui Bus—typically Line 40 plus Line 10—about 1 hour 20 minutes and $4 total, but it is slow, involves a transfer, and is a poor choice with substantial luggage.
