Kaanapali's next-door neighbor is the remarkable town of Lahaina, once the capital of all Hawaii and a major port for the free-wheeling mercenaries of the Pacific whaling trade. Once a peaceful plantation village, now a bustling visitors mecca, Lahaina is a must-see for visitors of all ages. Lahaina today reflects its colorful past. Approximately 55 acres of the town have been set aside as historic districts containing several sites designated as National Historical Landmarks. Front Street is the center of Lahaina activity, where grog shops and ship's outfitters of old now house a multitude of art galleries, boutiques, craft shops and restaurants.

Lahaina also hosts a roster of innovative restaurants specializing in Hawaii Regional Cuisine, a masterful blend of classic Asian and Continental techniques with the unique taste of paradise. More than 40 art galleries offer the works of both acclaimed local artists and masters such as Dali, Chagall and Miro. In fact, art shopping in Lahaina has become so popular that it is celebrated in a weekly event called "Friday Night is Art Night in Lahaina Town." Art lovers stroll from gallery to gallery viewing finished works, meeting the artists and watching them work amidst an outdoor party atmosphere.

Lahaina is easily accessible from the Kaanapali Resort, just a short three-mile trip via car, or relax and take the complimentary shuttle bus that services Lahaina from several sites within the resort. Many adventurous "commuters" choose to board the Sugar Cane Train from Kaanapali and take the scenic route to Lahaina through the West Maui sugar cane fields
