Kahului to Lahaina without renting a car??

[langleyfld]

We want to walk around Lahaina for awhile but do not want the hassle of renting a car for a few hours. What options are available to get from Kahului to Lahaina without renting a car? Is their a shuttle or bus service and how to walk to them for port?

Or does anyone have better suggestions of what to do; we have booked the "Road to Hana" the previous day in port.

We caught the bus from Queen Emma shopping center to Lahaina. Shopping shuttles run from pier to shopping center, so it was easy! Fun trip. Bus takes about an hour, but is a pleasant drive thru the country side!

POA has a shore excursion called 'Lahaina on your own'. From what I understand it is a bus that takes you over drops you off and picks you up later in the day. We didn't use it as we hired a car.

I did some research for shuttles from Kahului airport to Lahaina:

You'd have to take a taxi to the airport or you can see if you can make special arrangements with them to be picked up at the pier.

Just for cost comparison though, a rental car is only $37, including all taxes/fees for the day, and they have a shuttle to/from the office to the cruise pier.

We normally wouldn't return to the same place again so soon but my sister is having her wedding reception in Maui so we decided to go on the cruise again since we have to go back anyway! We're still planning our trip. (Lot less stressful and anxious about it since it's round 2.) I've only got Maui planned so far...

 

Maui (4 days): Walk around Lahaina, snorkel Black Rock/go to Kaanapali Beach, Haleakala Crater, Rainforest & Waterfall Hike excursion

 

Loose plans for Oahu...

 

Oahu (1 night post-cruise): North Shore, hike Diamond Head, new exhibits at Pearl Harbor

 

That's it right now. Still planning the rest.

 

As for Old Lahaina Luau, have you seen my review?
