The Sugar Cane Train - Lahaina Kaanapali Railroad

Join them as they travel between historic Lahaina town and the resorts of Kaanapali. Relax in an open-air coach whose nostalgic charm recalls the days of old Hawaii RailroadThe Sugar Cane Train / Lahaina Kaanapali Railroad

With a blast of its steam whistle, the locomotive chugs along a six-mile stretch of track at a leisurely pace. During your train ride, the Sugar Cane train crosses a 325-foot curved wooden trestle whose elevation yields panoramic views of neighboring islands and the West Maui Mountains.

During your journey, their narrator will entertain you Hawaiian-style and point out sites of interest along the way. From December to April, it is a common sight to spot humpback whales frolicking in our warm Pacific waters.

Railroads traveled through the history of Hawaii for more than 100 years, hauling sugar cane to the mills, and transporting workers between their homes and the cane fields. Steam locomotives became a picturesque part of the Hawaiian landscape, sounding their haunting whistles as they rounded a mountain curve, or plowed along narrow-gauge track between fields of sugar cane and plantation villages.

Today, Hawaii's railroads have disappeared almost entirely. The Sugar Cane Train transports visitors from the Maui of yesteryear to the beauty and charm of Maui today.
