Spending The Day in Beautiful Lahaina
Are you coming from another part of the island to join Hawaii Ocean Project on one of our excellent boat tours? While in Lahaina be sure to check out some of the other things to do. For example, the Lahaina Historical Trail is a must see for visitors.
Below is some information about the trail to help plan your day in Lahaina:
- The trail begins at the Baldwin House, located off of Dickenson and Front Street. This is walking distance from HOP's dock in the harbor.
- There are three different walking trails to explore. The Founder trail takes you around the famous Banyan tree, showcasing 23 different sites and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
- The Navigator trail will direct you up and down Front Street, pointing out 17 historical sites, taking approximately one hour to complete. We suggest grabbing lunch at one of the many restaurants to choose from on Front Street while exploring this trail.
- After lunch, start off on the Voyager trail. This trail will take 45 minutes to complete, depending on how many picture-taking stops are made at the 22 different historical locations.
- Maps and more may be found on site or at lahainarestoration.org/lahaina-historic-trail
One of our morning Whale Watch Tours is a perfect choice for those wanting to make a day out of coming to Historical Lahaina. With multiple departure times to choose from, returning to the harbor before lunch, you'll be able to explore all the historical and cultural sites of Lahaina in one day.

In our last blog we discussed the majestic humpback whales. This week we are going to discuss an organization that helps keep these endangered species safe while in the Hawaiian waters. Whale Trust Maui is a non-profit organization committed to educating the public about marine life safety.
Whale Trust's mission is to promote, support, and conduct scientific research on whales. Their vision is to help create a world that is more knowledgeable about whales. In February 2015, Whale Trust Maui is hosting a four-day event for Whale enthusiasts. Whale Tales will take place Friday, February 13th until Monday the 16th.
Below is the tentative schedule of events to take place:
- Friday, February 13th, from 5pm to 7pm, is the opening reception at the Historic Pioneer Inn.
- Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 4pm, various presentations will be held in The Maui Theatre.
- Monday, February 16th, all day, benefit whale watches are to depart from the Lahaina Harbor.
While this event is free of charge, donations are still needed in order to continue supporting whale research on Maui. Hawaii Ocean Project is a proud sponsor of all that this organization does for marine life conservation. If you are interested in sponsorship visit whaletrust.org for more details.
