Historic Walking Tour in Kihei Maui with Local Guide
Overview
This Kihei historic walking tour helps visitors experience Maui beyond its beaches by exploring South Maui's rich history, culture, and community stories. Each tour is led by a guide that has lived on Maui for over 25 years and can provide personal anecdotes along with knowledge learned through interviews conducted with city planners, local architects, cultural practitioners, published authors and historians, and families that have lived in Kihei for numerous generations.
Along a scenic one-mile oceanfront route through Kihei, learn about ancient fishing ponds that lined the coastline, the Hawaiian ahupua'a land division system, the U.S. military presence during WWII, the rise of tourism in the 1960s and 1970s, famous Maui sports figures, local flora and fauna, and so much more!
With a focus on education, storytelling, and meaningful connections, this experience provides an unforgettable way to experience the island one step at a time.
