REOPENING MAUI WITH RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMPASSION.

We are ready to share Maui's enduring spirit and culture with the world.

Mākaukau Maui. We are ready.

On August 8, 2023, devastating wildfires took loved ones, homes, cultural and historical sites, and businesses in Lahaina, located in West Maui. This tragedy claimed 100 lives and affected the lives of many more.

The spirit of Maui is resilient. While some fire-affected areas remain fully closed to the public, the island of Maui and the rest of the Hawaiian Islands are open and encouraging mindful visitation.

With a deep commitment to our community’s well-being, West Maui is ready to return a comforting sense of stability to the lives of its residents. Reopening our doors is one step towards reducing the uncertainties that weigh on our shoulders. It also ensures our community has the jobs and financial opportunities to thrive.

On the horizon is a new day. As one, Maui is moving forward – hopeful and optimistic that it can share its culture with those beyond our shores.
