Whaling used to be the focus of west Maui’s main town, Lahaina. These days visitors come to watch whales frolic offshore from Papawai Point.
The low-rise harbor at Lahaina retains quite a few whaling-era buildings, but not much remains from the days when Lahaina was the Hawaiian kingdom’s royal capital.
Take a stroll past the restaurants and shops lining historic Front Street, and take a seat in Banyan Tree Square at the foot of the country’s largest banyan tree, planted in 1873.
