Lahaina Harbor Map
Lahaina Harbor Map
Lahaina Harbor was one of the most popular spots on Maui for ocean activities: whale watching, sailing, snorkeling, the submarine, sport fishing, scuba diving, parasailing and more. Since the 2023 fire the harbor has been coming back in stages, and many boat trips now leave from Maʻalaea Harbor or straight off Kāʻanapali Beach.
Harbor Status in 2026
In December 2025 a limited number of commercial boats returned to Lahaina Harbor for the first time since the fire, running daytime trips only because the harbor still had no power. More operators have followed, including Atlantis Submarines, which restarted its Lahaina tours in 2026. The state began the harbor’s first maintenance dredging in 60 years in June 2026, with completion expected around the end of the year, and full recovery of the harbor is not expected until about the end of 2027. If you’re booking a tour, confirm the departure location in your confirmation email.
Location
Lahaina Harbor is at 675 Wharf Street, Lahaina, next to Banyan Tree Park in the heart of the historic town.
Getting to the Harbor
Front Street reopened to traffic between Pāpalaua Street and Shaw Street on August 1, 2026. Some streets right around the harbor, including Market Street, Papelekane Street and Mokuhinia Place, remain closed during repairs, so follow posted signs and your tour operator’s check-in instructions.
From South Maui (Kīhei, Wailea, Mākena), about 45 minutes: take Highway 31 west, then Highway 310 toward Lahaina, and Highway 30 west along the coast into Lahaina.
From Central Maui (Kahului, Wailuku, Waikapū), about 35 minutes: take Highway 380 toward Maʻalaea, then Highway 30 west along the coast into Lahaina.
From West Maui (Kapalua, Nāpili, Kahana, Kāʻanapali), about 15 minutes: take Highway 30 south into Lahaina.
Parking
Parking near the harbor is limited while repairs and dredging continue, and the lot commercial operators normally use is being used to stockpile dredged sand. Your tour operator will tell you where to park and check in. Leave extra time, and never park in marked construction areas.
Navigating the Harbor
Slip numbers start with Slip #1 at the west end of the harbor near Banyan Tree Park and increase as you walk around it, so the highest numbers sit directly across from the lowest. If you need help, ask any of the tour company staff on the docks.
Ferries to Neighbor Islands
Maui to Lānaʻi: The Expeditions passenger ferry now runs from Maʻalaea Harbor, not Lahaina. It makes three round trips a day to Lānaʻi’s Mānele Harbor, a crossing of about an hour and ten minutes, with departures from Maʻalaea at about 6:30 am, 11:00 am and 3:30 pm and returns from Mānele at about 8:30 am, 1:00 pm and 5:30 pm. Check in at the Expeditions booth inside the harbor building at Maʻalaea, and confirm current times and fares at go-lanai.com before you go. In whale season, keep an eye out for humpbacks in the ʻAuʻau Channel.
Maui to Molokaʻi: There is currently no passenger ferry between Maui and Molokaʻi. The County of Maui is planning a county-run ferry service, aiming to start with Lānaʻi in 2027 and add Molokaʻi around 2029. Until then, the way to reach Molokaʻi is a short flight from Kahului.
