How long will it take to drive from West Maui (Lahaina, Kaanapali) to South Maui?
Also, how do you get there? What routes would I have to drive? (I%26#39;ve heard that you cannot drive the southern part of the island with a rental car...)
From West Maui to South Maui
About 30 minutes depending on traffic...there really is only one route unless you take the long, windy north route, not recommended!
From West Maui to South Maui
You need to get a good map! Visit AAA or Border%26#39;s Books or such. There really is only one way - due south.
I would say 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
There is a big traffic bottleneck in Lahaina during commute hours.
The road ends in south Mau, past La Perouse Bay. You can%26#39;t go any farther.
Allow an hour minimum, two is higly possible. The traffic is unpredictable and it really is best to take your time - mileage means little on the islands. Standard commute times apply and are compounded by travelers. A lovely drive, one road to Maalaea and then two choices to get further south - Kihei Road or Piilani Hwy.
This link is not the best map, but for online it%26#39;s not bad for a start. www.driveguidemagazines.com/maui_maps.html
Do get a good map though.
I budget 45 minutes for the drive from Kihei (starting at Safeway/Azeka shopping center area) to Ka`anapali (just north of Lahaina town); and 60 minutes all the way north to the Kapalua Resort.
On a sleepy Sunday morning, I%26#39;ve saved 15 minutes with no traffic on the road - and, I do drive the legal speed limit.
There can be traffic congestion just about anywhere which slows everyone down. Just hope there is not an event to close down the highway for hours.
Ask your car rental agency representative to drive a circle on the Maui map of where you are not allowed to drive your rental car.
