Question

When Should We Book?

Answer

ASAP!!! Flights: Check online for best prices as they tend to be cheaper the earlier you book. Hotel: There are no room blocks available and all rooms at the hotels are first come first serve. Our discount/group rate at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel is open and active.

Question

How do we get from the airport to the hotel?

Answer

We have not been able to find a free airport shuttle service to the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, or the Kaanapali area for that matter. Based on reviews, the shuttle services that can be booked are expensive. Larger groups may be able to get better rates through the shuttle service companies, but that will take a little research. Uber and Lyft are options on the island and at the airport but availability of drivers varies widely, with early and late hours having few options. Renting a car is your safest bet and depending on where you are traveling to, or stopping, or visiting, having a rental car is the best option for getting around the island. A four day rental is nearly the same price as a round-trip shuttle to/from the airport.

COVID update from County of Maui website 06/17/21

Answer

I am fully vaccinated; must I still satisfy the pre-departure requirements? Yes, all trans-Pacific travelers headed for Kahului, Maui directly from a mainland city must satisfy all pre-departure requirements even if fully vaccinated. I am fully vaccinated; must I take the post-arrival rapid COVID test? No. Maui County will provide an exception for fully vaccinated trans-Pacific travelers from the post-arrival rapid COVID test requirement with proof of vaccination. Trans-Pacific travelers will still need to take a pre-departure test (as specified by the Safe Travels Program) to be receive the travel quarantine exception. Upon disembarking your aircraft, your proof of vaccination will be confirmed, after which you may bypass the post-arrival test and depart the airport.

Question

Is there a Costco on the island?

Answer

Yes!! The only Costco on Maui is 5 minutes driving from the OGG airport. We highly recommend stopping here upon your arrival to pick up beers, snacks for the room and even snorkeling gear if you plan to explore the waters on the island (cheaper than renting for the week at boss frogs).
