Sugar Cane Train

Kaanapali, West Side of Maui

Train Ride for Kids and Family

The Sugar Cane Train is a family train ride near the Kaanapali resort area on the west side of Maui. You can begin your round trip at either the north end at Puukolii Road and Honoapiilani Highway, or at the south end in the town of Lahaina. Phone 808-661-0080 for schedule and pricing details.

This train used to carry sugar cane from the fields to the harbor. Now it carries tourists. The ride is about a half hour in each direction, but it's only a 7-mile trip, with the train traveling at the leisurely speed of 12 miles per hour. Along the way, you have a view of the West Maui Mountains and the ocean, similar to the view you get when you drive the main highway that parallels the train tracks.

In my opinion, this train ride is not very entertaining and is not worth the cost. But if your kids love the idea of riding on a train, or you are looking for something to keep the kids busy, you may enjoy it. Or see this link for other kids and family activities on Maui.
