Kihei - Maui’s “Highway to Heaven”
According to legend, two cloud warriors, one from the north and one from the south, battled one another until a truce was called. When the warriors separated, the piece of blue sky left between them was called Alanui o Lani (Highway to Heaven), and the area beneath that sky is now known as Kihei.
Along with swimming and surfing, you can also find great snorkeling and kayaking in Kihei, and you may even spot a giant humpback whale spouting or breaching during your walk!
Our North Kihei walk takes you from Kenolio Park south down the beach all the way to a hidden path that leads to the Green Turtle Pond at the Humpback Whale Sanctuary, and back. It’s a long but rewarding walk!
