Maui West Maui This is it. This is the famous Maui you’ve been waiting for: tropical paradise, lush green forest, mountainous shapes in the distance, beaches. This is where most visitors come to enjoy the best that Maui has to offer. There are four different neighborhoods to choose from: Kaanapali.Family area. Shops, beaches, pricey, whale museum, upscale shopping, you get the picture. Honokowai & Napili.Older bargain condos on the beach all in a row. Kapalua.Uphill but still on the beach. Pricey, exclusive, best gold-sand beaches ever, marine preserves, golfing, pineapple fields, and grand views. Lahaina.Seaport that used to house whaling activity, lots of hokey souvenir stuff, but still nice. Galleries, shopping, bed & breakfasts, historic buildings, affordable. West Maui Restuarants
