Highway 30 to Highway 340
West Maui, from Papawai Point to Kahului Bay, makes for
another outrageously beautiful, MUST SEE drive. The West
Maui mountains are older than Haleakala - more eroded, lush,
and alive. The highest peak of these mountains is Pu'u Kukui
at 5,788 feet. 'Iao Valley is the most famous valley of
this mountain range.

There are hikes, beaches, lookouts, valleys,
towns, shopping, water activities - in other words, there
is something for everyone along this scenic highway.

The past Lahaina, Highway 30, is not heavily
traveled with few towns. Fill the gas tank and bring drinks
and snacks before starting out. Highway 30, prior to Kahakuloa
Village at Mile Marker #41, turns into a one lane road which
is carved into the mountain and changes names to Highway
340.
