Getting in

• Kahului Airport: Rent a car and take HI-311 (Mokulele Highway), which becomes HI-31/Piʻilani Highway through Kihei; Wailea is roughly 30 minutes in normal traffic. This is the practical choice if you want Makena, Haleakalā, or anywhere beyond the resort strip. A taxi/rideshare is convenient for a resort-only stay but typically runs about $70–100 each way before tip and can be scarce at busy arrival times; a rental car commonly costs far more than on the mainland, especially in winter and holidays.
