Things to See in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii
=================================
1 - Lahaina Historic Trail
What: Self-guided tour of 62 historic Lahaina sites
Where: Spread throughout 55 acres of Lahaina
When: The best time to visit is Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. This historic trail takes about an hour
Lahaina is a town of major historical significance. Once the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii, a busy whaling port and a plantation settlement, you can follow the Lahaina Historic Trail (Ala Moolelo O Lahaina) to walk in the footsteps of Lahaina’s past.
This self-guided tour takes you to significant sites throughout 55 acres of Lahaina, many of which have been designated National Historic Landmarks. Members of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation have worked for three decades to create the trail and preserve many of the buildings along it. They’ve also labeled dozens of historic sites with informative bronze plaques, each providing explanations about an important point of interest from Lahaina's past. Look for them around and about Front Street.
You’ll see a fascinating blend of influences covering Hawaiian history, the whaling era, the missionaries and immigrant plantation life. The Baldwin Home was the two-story house of Protestant missionaries in the mid-1830s. Hale Paahao, the “stuck-in-irons house,” was a jail for rowdy sailors in the 1850s. Structures like the Wo Hing Temple and the Lahaina Jodo Mission highlight the influences of Chinese and Japanese immigrants in Maui.
To get a historical walking guide highlighting all 62 historic sites, visit the Lahaina Visitor Center in the Old Lahaina Courthouse located between the Banyan Tree and Lahaina Harbor.
2 - Lahaina Art Galleries Maui
Lahaina has gained a reputation as a renowned art market with dozens of art galleries. Begin your art walk at the Old Jail Gallery run by the non-profit Lahaina Arts Society, home to 185 member artists. Village Galleries is Maui’s oldest gallery showcasing acclaimed local artists. For fun, check out the kinetic sculptures and pop art at the Martin Lawrence Galleries.
To experience all that Lahaina’s art scene has to offer, visit Art Night each Friday between 7pm and 10pm. Join the festivities along and around Front Street as art galleries open their doors, inviting the public to chat with artists, view their works, listen to music and celebrate the arts.
You can also discover other types of unique art in Lahaina, including ceramics, handcrafted woodwork and jewelry. This historic whaling town is also one of the world’s largest markets for scrimshaw, the whalers’ art of carving on ivory. For more unique finds, treasure hunt in Lahaina Printsellers for a collection of maps, prints and engravings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. You’re bound to uncover the perfect Maui memento in Lahaina’s art galleries.
3 - The Banyan Tree
What: One of the country's largest banyan trees
Where: In front of the Lahaina Courthouse, adjacent to Lahaina Harbor
Cool down in the shade under one of the largest banyan trees in the United States. Imported from India and planted in front of the Lahaina Courthouse and Lahaina Harbor on 1873, this sprawling tree along Front Street is the size of an entire city block and stands more than 60-feet high. If you need to cool down a bit, you can walk for two-thirds of an acre under the shadow of its sweeping branches. Many events and art exhibits are held beneath this popular gathering place. At Art in the Park, which takes place every second and fourth weekend of the month, browse for affordable paintings, limited edition prints and a wealth of crafts under the dangling vines and twelve major trunks of this Lahaina landmark.
4 - Lahaina Jodo Mission
What: A Japanese Buddhist temple in Lahaina
Where: Located 45 minutes from Kahului Airport by car in Lahaina just off Front Street at 12 Ala Moana Street
Head west from Lahaina's Front Street toward Baby Beach and you'll discover the Lahaina Jodo Mission. Established in a private house in 1912 to propagate Buddhism in Lahaina, the temple moved to its present location in 1931. This serene destination looks and feels more like Japan than Maui and features one of the largest statues of the Buddha outside of Asia.
The mission is a replica of an authentic Japanese Buddhist temple. Explore these peaceful grounds and you'll discover a towering pagoda and an enormous bronze Buddha statue, 12 feet high and roughly 3 ½ tons. The statue was installed in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. The grounds and buildings of the mission are open to the public and voluntary contributions are accepted.

Lahaina Banyan Court Park - Lahaina - West Maui - Hawaii
Coordonnées GPS: 20.871820, -156.677578
Lahaina Banyan Court Park est un parc public situé entre la rue Front Street et le port de Lahaina.
Autrefois le site de l'ancien fort de Lahaina, il abrite entre autres aujourd'hui l'ancien palais de justice, une partie de l'ancien fort ainsi qu'un gigantesque arbre, un banian.
Cet arbre est l'un des plus grands banians des États-Unis et il est l'une des principales attractions de Lahaina.
Il a été planté en avril 1873 pour commémorer le 50e anniversaire des missionnaires protestants à Lahaina. Lorsqu'il a été planté, il avait une hauteur de 2,4 mètres. Aujourd'hui, il mesure plus de 18 mètres de haut.
Cet arbre a développé une multitude de troncs et de racines, formant à lui seul un parc verdoyant dans lequel il est vraiment agréable de se promener pour admirer ses immenses tentacules ou tout simplement se reposer sous son imposant feuillage.
Quant à l'ancien palais de justice, il abrite aujourd'hui un musée, des galeries d'art, un centre d'accueil ainsi qu'une salle de réunion communautaire.

walking through the Lahaina Harbor waterfront area in downtown Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii
This shows a good part of the area surrounding the Lahaina Harbor waterfront area as we walked through it on January 13, 2017. There were lots of boats and lines of people waiting to do various activities. Lively area worth visiting in my opinion.
Interview w DeRubeis - Fine Art of Metal Gallery in Lahaina, Maui.
Born in 1978, it wasn’t long before De Rubeis showed a very early proclivity for drawing. He drew on any materials he could find at home to express his talents. This talent was nurtured to the fullest by his family, and at age 11 his Grandfather gave Chris his first Airbrush. After watching Chris use his airbrush for the very first time, his Grandfather proclaimed that Chris was to become the Artist his Grandfather always wanted to be and would inevitably share his talents on the world’s grand stage.
School was viewed as a chore for De Rubeis. He enjoyed drawing figures on math tests, not solving equations; He preferred doodling beautiful landscapes in the blank spaces most teachers expected to find an essay. Teachers scolded him for not concentrating on his studies and warned that he was on the wrong path. However, this criticism did not deter him from his ultimate destiny. Derubeis would continue to paint and take extra art classes on his lunch break. At age 20 Chris attended the Pasadena Art Center as well as the Associates in Art College in Sherman Oaks, CA. To pay for schooling he painted custom Harleys and started a successful Party T-Shirt business. His professors tried to convince him to choose a “more commercial style” of art but he was never satisfied painting ‘…like everyone else.’
As those who know De Rubeis would be quick to tell you, he has never been one to run with the herd. He found many of these styles to be outdated and uninteresting like his history lectures. Chris continued his quest, searching for something greater and undiscovered, and then one day it happened. While grinding the base paint off a Harley gas tank in his workshop, DeRubeis noticed something spectacularly unique. With each pass of the grinding pad a new piece of metal was exposed to the light unveiling fantastic patterns that seemingly danced off the tank, as if it had come to life….. History began!
Racing to the local metal shop and grabbing scraps of metal, DeRubeis began experimenting with different tools to manipulate the way light reacted with the surface. He introduced chemicals and paints to the surface creating unique reactions and bringing his art to life…….Abstract Sensualism was born!
“I favor metal because I can combine a form of sculpture as the foundation for my expression and have found a way to enhance my ability to communicate emotions more intently. All art should inspire and evoke emotion….Art should be something you can actually feel.”
The introduction of his unique style to the art world was met with uncertainty, as galleries had never seen or sold art like it before. It wasn’t long before his innovative style and technique were noticed and galleries across the country began inquiring about his work. Then in 2005 DeRubeis’ work was submitted and honored with two nominations by the First Annual Fine Art Awards televised live from the MGM Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Nominated in the “Mixed Media” and “New Movement” categories, he earned the “MUSE” Award in “New Movement” and is now known as “The Father of the Conceptual Movement.”
De Rubeis, then only 27, dedicated his award to his Grandfather who had passed away just months earlier.
In 2009 De Rubeis was signed by famed art publisher David Smith who immediately saw the future in Chris’s art. Now, DeRubeis is certainly one of the hottest selling artists in the world. His works are on permanent display in high end galleries throughout the United States and abroad. He continues to create new styles and designs for his work, forever changing the way we view art. Yet another unique twist to DeRubeis’ artwork, his pieces are rarely shown in frames. When asked why his work is always “floated,” Chris simply replied with a smile, “WHY NOT!”
As you would imagine, artists are attempting but failing to imitate his style. DeRubeis states,
“You won’t find what I create in any art school…yet.”

Lahaina Banyan Court Park
Lahaina Banyan Court Park is a public park located at the corner of Front Street and Canal Street in the town of Lahaina, Hawaii, which was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1820 to 1845. The 1.94 acres (0.79 ha) park, also known as Lahaina Courthouse Square and commonly called Banyan Tree Park, contains multiple heritage sites on the Lahaina Historic Trail, and a self-guided walking tour through the Lahaina Historic Districts.[1]
The park occupies the site of the Old Lahaina Fort, originally built in 1831. Hoapili, the Royal Governor of Maui, built the fort to protect the town from riotous sailors when Lahaina was used as an anchorage for the North Pacific whaling fleet.[2] After the fort was demolished in 1854, a courthouse was built on the site. A portion of the old Lahaina Fort was reconstructed in 1964. The old Lahaina Courthouse was recognized as a contributing property of the Lahaina Historic District in 1965, and is currently used by the Lahaina Arts Council and the Lahaina Historic Society.
Sheriff William Owen Smith planted an Indian banyan tree in the courtyard square in 1873 to memorialize the 50th anniversary of the first American Protestant mission in Lahaina. The banyan tree has become the largest banyan tree in Hawaii, and one of the largest banyan trees in the United States. Its extensive trunk and aerial root system now covers 0.66 acres (0.27 ha). The park is managed by the County of Maui and the Lahaina Restoration Foundation.

Lāhainā is the largest census-designated place in West Maui, Maui County, Hawaii, United States, and includes the Ka'anapali and Kapalua beach resorts. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a resident population of 11,704. Lahaina encompasses the coast along Hawaii Route 30 from a tunnel at the south end, through Olowalu, and to the CDP of Napili-Honokowai to the north. During the tourist season, the population can swell to nearly 40,000 people.
There are many different climates in the different districts of Lahaina. The historic district is the driest and calmest and hosts the small boat harbor. Kaanapali is north of a wind line and has double the annual rainfall and frequent breezes. The Kapalua and Napili areas have almost four times the annual rainfall compared to the historic district of Lahaina. The historic district has preserved 60 historic sites within a small area and they are managed by the Lahaina Restoration.
Lahaina was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1820 to 1845, when the capital was moved back to Honolulu. In the 19th century, Lahaina was the center of the global whaling industry, with many sailing ships anchoring at its waterfront; today pleasure craft make their home there. Lahaina's Front Street has been ranked one of the Top Ten Greatest Streets by the American Planning Association. Lahaina's popularity as a tropical getaway has made its real estate some of the most expensive in Hawaii; many luxury homes and condos are sold for more than $2 million there.
600 block of Front Street is home to the largest Banyan Tree in the United States. There was a ceremony when the tree was planted in 1873 and the history is displayed on a plaque under the tree. The huge West Maui mountains have beautiful valleys visible from the historic district of Lahaina. The valleys are the backdrop for the 5 o'clock rainbow that happens almost every day. In 1831 a fort was built for defense, and the reconstructed remains of its 20-foot (6.1 m) walls and original cannons can still be seen. Also near the small boat harbor are the historic Pioneer Inn and the Baldwin House museum in the historic district of Lahaina.
Hale Paʻi is the site of Hawaii's first printing press, including Hawaii's first paper currency, printed in 1843. The Plantation Course at Kapalua hosts the PGA Tour's Hyundai Tournament of Champions every January. The many restaurants along Front Street offer a broad variety of food and entertainment, making it the hub of West Maui's night life. A variety of shops and galleries line both sides of the oceanfront Front street.
Carthaginian II was a museum ship moored in the harbor of this former whaling port. Built in 1920 and brought to Maui in 1973, it served as a whaling museum until 2005, and after being sunk in 95 feet (29 m) of water about 1⁄2-mile (0.80 km) offshore to create an artificial reef, now serves as a diving destination. It replaced an earlier replica of a whaler, Carthaginian, which had been converted in 1966 to film scenes for the 1966 movie Hawaii. Halloween is a major celebration in Lahaina and has become a signature event in the past decades, with crowds averaging between 20,000 and 30,000.

Lahaina is a town on the western end of the island of Maui, Hawaii that abounds with restaurants, night clubs, and souvenir shops. Because the western end of Maui is a popular vacation destination, tourism is important to Lahaina. Most tourists, however, eschew Lahaina during the day, choosing instead the beaches of Kaanapali; but life in Lahaina after sunset is quite active.
Tucked between the West Maui Mountains and a tranquil sea, Lahaina has long been a popular convergence point. Ancient Hawaiian royals were the first to gather here, followed by missionaries, whalers and sugar plantation workers. Today it’s a base for creative chefs, passionate artists and dedicated surf instructors. Near the harbor, storefronts that once housed saloons, dance halls and brothels now teem with art galleries, souvenir shops and, well, still plenty of watering holes. As for the whalers, they’ve been replaced by a new kind of leviathan hunter: whale-watchers as dedicated as Ahab in their hunt. Between January and March, they don’t have to look hard.
Lahaina is very compact, and easily explored on foot. If driving, it is advisable to park one's car and walk. There are a couple of free parking locations, but most charge a nominal fee. In some places, stores can validate your parking ticket. Front Street is the main thoroughfare of Lahaina, where most popular places are located.
In antiquity Lahaina was the royal capital of Maui Loa, aliʻi nui of the island of Maui, after he ceded the royal seat of Hana to the ruler of Hawaii Island. In Lahaina, the focus of activity is along Front Street, which dates back to the 1820s. It is lined with stores and restaurants and often packed with tourists. The southern end of Front Street is home to the largest Banyan Tree in the United States.
The West Maui mountains have beautiful valleys visible from the historic district of Lahaina. The valleys are the backdrop for the 5 o'clock rainbow that happens almost every day. In 1831 a fort was built for defense, and the reconstructed remains of its 20-foot (6.1 m) walls and original cannons can still be seen.

Halloween is a major celebration in Lahaina and has become a signature event, with crowds averaging between 20,000 and 30,000. Each November, Lahaina hosts the Maui Invitational, one of the top early-season tournaments in college basketball. The event is sponsored by Maui Jim. Lahaina also hosts the finish of the Vic-Maui Yacht Race, which starts in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This race started in the 1960s and is held every two years. The historic district has preserved 60 historic sites within a small area and they are managed by the Lahaina Restoration.

Alex Gupton - The Art of Detail - Bill Wyland Gallery in Lahaina, Maui.
Alex Gupton began his career in artwork twenty years ago while studying business and art in University. A profitable pasttime painting murals soon became his full time profession. Although his background was Graphic Design, and his fine art centers in the tiny detail of pen and ink creations, he soon began to paint large-scale murals. With an amazing flare for Trompe L'oeil (to trick the eye), he soon was traveling the United States painting walls and ceilings for both private and corporate clients.
Most people dream of ‘one day’ being able to pursue their dreams. I live my dream every day. Residing in Paradise with my amazing wife and three great kids, surrounded by dear friends and wonderful family, I am unbelievably lucky, blessed and honored to live this life.
Alex's love for the art of drawing and the valuable lessons provided by years of dedication to his craft have resulted in truly unique pen and ink creations. One must look very closely at the detail in his artwork to fully appreciate and understand it. Lying within and forming the image as a whole is actually a collection of smaller drawings. Scenes ranging from tropical beaches and lush landscapes to wildly stylized creatures all work together to form an image, which may take as long as three months to complete. The beauty and detail of his work will draw you in and keep you absorbed and intrigued with its intricacy.
When a favorite client asked him to create an art peice for the bottom of her pool, the journey into mosaic tile began. That first request turned into the stunning 'Bird of Paradise' signature piece, and set the stage for the many projects that followed. During that first mosaic commission, Alex had found a new love--'painting with glass tile'--and soon was creating custom mosaic art pieces for pools, entryways, backsplashes, or any space that would lend itself to a tile installation. His specialty became water illusions in pools featuring various sea life, including turtles, sharks, and tropical fish, using shadow and light to create a realism not usually found with this media. Our clients imagination is the only limit to our mosaic creations. We have been in the business of catering to our client's artwork needs for years, and relish the new challenges in design for Mosaic Art. We take great pride in bringing our projects in on time and on budget.
The bronze have been in Alex's head for years, and just this past year has he made the time to bring it into reality. The same detail in the pen & ink is now in three dimensions and cast beautifully into bronze with the help of some of the most talented foundry workers in the World.
