Maui Quality Of Life Factors: Transportation
There are three ways you can get to Maui, by plane, by boat and possibly by submarine, but so far as we know, the latter is not really offered, so it comes down to plane or boat.
Most visitors arrive by plane, landing at one of 3 airports, either the central Kahului Airport, or one of the two smaller airports, namely Hana on the eastern coast and Kapalua on the west.
Cruise ships are also a popular means to get to Maui, and Kahului is the main port of call for these sea-faring visitors. A smaller port of call can also be found between Lahaina and Kihei.
While on Maui, there are a few options to travel about and see the sights. For a small $1 fare, hop on the Maui Public Transportation System and tour around the island. The cost is $1 per boarding, so carry a few of those greenbacks if you plan to get off and on during the course of your venture.
Another cost-effective mode of transportation is cycling. There are bicycle rental shops on Maui where you can pick up some two-wheel freedom for a small rental charge. Don’t let the wonders of a nice bike ride around Maui pass you by. See the island and breathe the air at a comfortable pace on a fun bicycle tour of the island.
Car rentals are always available for those with a place to be and a time to be there. Perhaps consider a topless vehicle and enjoy your drive with Maui’s spectacular sky all around you. For the most part, Maui can be explored on bike, on foot and by bus, with time to get home for dinner, with no need to ever set foot in a car.
Maui is a great place to visit and an incredible place to live. Take a trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world and experience for yourself what everyone who visits talks about and what those who choose to stay have discovered.
