Flight

Kahului Airport

The main airport on the island is Kahului Airport (OGG). Direct flights are available from many major cities on the U.S. mainland. Airport to Lahaina: Lahaina is about a 45-minute to 1-hour drive from Kahului Airport, depending on traffic. We recommend renting a car during your stay, as it’s the easiest way to explore the island and get to/from the harbor.

Travel Note

Ceremony Location

Our wedding ceremony will take place on the water, aboard a boat operated by the Pacific Whale Foundation, departing from Lahaina Harbor on Saturday at 4:00 PM. Please plan to arrive at the harbor by 3:30 PM to allow time for parking, check-in, and boarding. Lahaina Harbor Address: 📍 675 Wharf Street, Lahaina, HI 96761 We will be boarding a Pacific Whale Foundation boat — look for their signage and check-in area near the harbor. Additional boarding details will be provided closer to the date.

Transportation Tips

Car Rentals: Available at Kahului Airport. Book early—Maui car rentals can sell out, especially during spring. Rideshare Services: Uber and Lyft are available but may be limited in some areas and times. Parking at Lahaina Harbor: Paid public lots are available near the harbor, but they can fill up. We suggest arriving early to secure a spot and enjoy a stroll through downtown Lahaina.

Travel Tips

Weather in April: Expect warm, tropical weather — generally mid-70s to low 80s°F (24–28°C). April is typically dry, but light showers are possible. Pack a light rain jacket, just in case. Time Zone: Maui is on Hawaii Standard Time (HST) — there is no daylight saving time. What to Pack: Sunscreen, sunglasses, light clothing, sandals, and your swimsuit if you plan to beach-hop. Whale Watching: April is the tail end of humpback whale season in Maui — and since the ceremony is with the Pacific Whale Foundation, there's a good chance we might spot a few whales during our time on the water!
