Traveling to Maui? Here's What You Need to Know
On October 8, 2023, parts of West Maui have reopened following the devasting Lahaina fires. Visitors can now travel to Kaanapali, Napilii, Honokowai, and Kapalua in West Maui. The town of Lahaina, which was severely impacted by the fires, and the surrounding area are still closed to tourists.
Other parts of Maui - such as the Road to Hana, Haleakala, Kahului, and Wailua - have been open to travelers and will remain open.
Please see the map below for context as to which areas of Maui have reopened.
Although Maui has reopened, please be aware that the community is still struggling. There are a number of ways that you can support Maui both during your visit and from afar. If you do have plans to visit Maui, we ask that you patronize local businesses that desperately need support.
