Lahaina is a historic village on the island of Maui. It was struck by devastating wildfires and is now striving to rebuild.
In the early 1800's, Lahaina was the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In the same time period it was a booming port for whaling ships. Herman Melville was one of the sailors who were there. Large areas have been designated a historic district. Unfortunately, most of Lahaina's historic buildings were destroyed in the fire of 2023.
Haleakala National Park stretches along Maui's south and east coasts. It contains the island's highest peak (10,023 feet above sea level) and many visitors go to the park early to watch the sunrise.
Iao Valley State Park on Maui is 4,000 acres of lush tropical beauty. The Iao Needle is an iconic landmark.
