What to do and see in Lahaina, Hawaii (HI): The Best Historical & Heritage Tours
Lahaina, the former Hawaiian capital, was the center of the global whaling trade, and its Historic District is a National Historic Landmark. Traditional Hawaiian luaus, surf lessons and tours on horseback are fun, but let’s be realistic—you wouldn’t be in Hawaii if you didn’t want to go to the beach. Try Ka’anapali Beach, one of Maui’s best.

Great way to get around Lahaina with opportunities for special views. Highly recommend the Segway experience. Training gets you comfortable to truly enjoy the tour. Tom, our guide, made the trip very informative. Be certain to ask him about his chickens and mongoose tribulations.

My partner decided to do a ghosthunt in Chicago on a Friday night to learn a little bit more about the neighborhood we live in, and boy we're glad we did it! Tony is the BEST tour guide--super knowledgeable about the historical, the strange, the weird, and the paranormal! We started off in front of the history museum and wound our way through Lincoln Park, around the zoo, and eventually ended up at a nondescript parking lot down the street from us which happens to be the site of the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Along with his encyclopedic knowledge, Tony brought some ghost hunting gear for our little group, so we had fun chasing EMF around the park while hearing stories of the various hauntings. All in all, this is a fantastic experience, well worth your time if you like history and ghost stories.

This is a good and inexpensive way to do the Haleakala sunset tour with audio narrative of things to see along the way to the mountain top. Good value for the price. A quick tip: this app burns through your phone battery fast so having a car phone cable is a must or else your phone battery will run out of juice pretty quick...

Wasn’t sure we would even be able to take a snorkeling cruise because of the Pendemic so delighted it was available. The boat was at 50% capacity and the crew became naturalists/sailors/waiters/bar tenders/snorkel gear providers etc. Saw large school of spinner dolphins and followed even before we got to Lanai. Very cool. Not allowed on the island so snorkeled just outside the harbor break wall - also very cool. Lots of fish/coral and the clarity was excellent. Barbecue was cooked on the boat and delivered to us as we made our way back to Lahaina. The crew couldn’t have been nicer and Captain Paul was great. Safety precautions were followed the entire time. The whole experience was appropriately more restrictive than I am use to but STELLER for a Pendemic!

This was so awesome, it is a tad bit pricey but it is so worth it. The Captain and crew were all so fun. We had Paul as our guide and omg he is great and hilarious. He really made the experience awesome. We got to see so many awesome fish that we didn't see while snorkeling. Due to covid they only have about 20 people in the sub which is perfect because you are able to see out the window infront of you and behind you.

Drive was very nice but the information that was passed from the tour guide to us was the most impactful! Tom was very knowledgable, good sense of humor, and pleasant to talk with throughout the day. His calm demeanor, under such stressful driving routes, was very impressive. Waterfalls were beautiful and timing/pace was good overall. Highly recommend the tour over trying to go at it yourself! If at all possible, ask for Tom as your tour guide! And leave him a tip after your tour and/or a review here! Thanks Tom!
