resort community which is Ka'anapali. Any activity from surfing
to snorkeling to parasailing can be found off this beach just

The Baldwin
Home |
|
|
| The Baldwin Home is one of the historical points of downtown
Lahaina. Dwight Baldwin was a Protestant missionary, and he lived
here with his family from the 1830's until 1868. The house was
medical office, seamen's chapel, and Christian reading room all
in one, serving the sailing men who came and went through this
town during the days of the whaling trade. The home was restored
by the Lahaina Restoration Foundation in the early 1960's. |

Lahaina's
Famous Banyon Tree |
|
|
| The Banyan Tree (ficus benghalensis) has been a Lahaina landmark
for more than 12 decades. The tree has spread over the area via
aerial roots which, when they reach the ground, grow into thick
trunks. The Lahaina Banyan Tree is the largest in the United States.
It's hard to believe that this tree was planted only a little
over a hundred years ago, and is so large now that it has to be
supported in various places. The tree is a good landmark in Lahaina,
being located directly across from the Wharf Cinema Center and
right next to the Pioneer Inn near the harbor on Front Street. |
|
|
Lahaina
Harbour |
|
|
| Lahaina harbor itself is a beautiful area, just across from
Front Street and right next to the Lahaina Beach. Here, one can
get access to a variety of water sports, from parasailing to surfing
lessons. It is also a very pleasant place to simply take some
lunch and a walk, while you explore the surrounding historical
landmarks of Lahaina. |
|
|
The Pioneer
Inn |
|
|
| The old Pioneer Inn, across from Lahaina harbor, has original
section fronting that dates from the turn of the century. Shops
were added in the mid-60's, but it was built in a way careful
to match the style of the original building. The inn served as
the only accommodation for visitors coming to west Maui until
the 1950's. |

Lahaina
Jodo Mission - The Statue of Buddha |
|
|
| The statue of the Amida Buddha is the largest of its kind outside
Japan, and was cast between 1967 and 1968. A highlight of the
mission grounds, it is made of bronze and copper, stands 12 feet
high and weights approximately three and a half tons. The completed
statue was finished in June of 1968. |
|
|
Sugar
Cane Train - Lahaina Station |
|
|
| The Sugar Cane Train, or Lahaina Kaanapali & Pacific Railroad,
is a locomotive that rides on one of the last used tracks of rail
in the Islands. Once used for transport of agrilcultural goods
back in the early days of the sugar cane trade, the train is now
used to transport visitors back to another time, through the sugar
cane fields and coconut groves of 19th century Lahaina town. |
