Kapalua Coastal Trail Reviews Around the Web
Kyle C (KC) · January 04, 2025Dude, the Kapalua Coastal Trail is totally gnarly. Like, if you’re on Maui and you wanna cruise somewhere epic without sweating buckets, this is the spot. It’s, like, 1.75 miles of pure chill vibes with rad views of the ocean and some gnarly lava rocks. You’ll feel like you’re in a surf movie, minus the board.
The trail starts at Kapalua Bay, and bro, the water there is crystal clear—it’s like the ocean is saying, “Hey, take a dip, man.” You wander past beaches and these wild cliffs that make you wanna stop and just soak it all in. The ground gets kinda rocky, so don’t wear your flip-flops unless you wanna be that guy.
Pro tip: hit it early, bro. You’ll avoid the crowds and the heat, and it’s just you, the trail, and Mother Nature saying, “What’s up?” Bring a bottle of water, maybe a snack, and you’re golden.
Bottom line: the Kapalua Coastal Trail is a solid choice for dudes who wanna vibe with Maui’s beauty without, like, overdoing it. Catch you out there, bro!-
Theresa Marsh · January 12, 2025Perfect short hike. Bring a jacket if it’s early. Windy, can be muddy. But gorgeous views. Easy to moderate. Challenging if you go out on the volcanic rocks.

Angela Chen · January 12, 2025Nice walk along the coast, some of it paved, other parts dirt trail, or on rocks. Cool tide pools to explore

Louise Riofrio · October 23, 2024Spectacular shoreline trail past luxury resorts in former plantation land. Reachable by bus, the new #29 West Maui Express. Great views across channel to Molokai. Whales are abundant November-March. The route passes sacred burial mound. Trails and nearby sidewalks in excellent condition. The ABC Store nearby is a good place for snacks and drinks.

Eric · October 23, 2024This was a nice hike with great views of the cliffs and beach. It is an out and back hike as it doesn't connect in a full loop. We found free parking on the street.
