Resort Shuttles
Many of the resorts on Maui offer their own shuttle service, operating directly between the hotel and the airport. This service can often be included in the original booking, or as an added extra.
Not all resorts run this service, but we recommend inquiring when you make your accommodation booking. Even if there isn’t a resort shuttle, they might be able to get you a discount on a selected service.
Some resorts also run shuttle services transporting guests to selected destinations.
For example, resorts in Ka’anapali might offer shuttle transfers to Lahaina, and some Wailea resorts will provide a shuttle to the Shops at Wailea. These limited services offer guests a chance to explore Maui easily.
