How to Visit Maui with Respect in 2023

• Travel to all other parts of Maui (including Kahului, Wailuku, Kīhei, Wailea, Mākena, Pāʻia, Makawao, and Hāna) and other Hawaiian Islands are welcomed to keep residents employed and our economy alive.
• Stay out of any affected areas. Lahaina is off-limits.
• Take a day to volunteer. Ask a concierge or host.
• Be mindful of people’s feelings. We all feel it.
• Consider donating to Maui Humane Society, Maui Strong Fund, Maui Food Bank, Maui Mutal Aid & more.
Please do not attempt to go to the West side of Maui at this time. For respect for the people, please do not go to this area.  Keep an eye out for updates, and things are changing daily.
