Maui West: Maui's sunny northwest coast was once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the retreat of the Hawaiian royal family, and now it is home to fascinating resorts, shopping malls and restaurants. Here you can stroll through the historic streets of Lahaina, play golf at the tournament-level course in Kapalua, and take a boat ride from Lahaina Harbour to watch whales or enjoy the sunset. Watch the sunset-dived cliffs at the beautiful Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach (Kaanapali Beach), or watch professional surfers surf along the famous Honolua Bay.
