Our hearts are with our Maui and Lahaina ‘ohana as our island continues to rebuild. As West Maui opens following the devastating wildfires, our restaurants, shops, hotels, resorts, condos, and activity partners welcome you with aloha.
Kā’anapali, Maui is a magical destination and has long been the place where the world comes to play, and now to help heal. We encourage visitors to continue to make new #MauiMemories while sharing aloha and support to our communities and people.
Together we will Mālama Maui. Here are some resources and information as you plan for your visit.
The wildfires mainly affected Lahaina in West Maui. While Kā’anapali was structurally unaffected, please be mindful that our community and partners have suffered through this tragedy and hotels in West Maui may still be housing their employees and families, evacuees, and first responders. We are grateful Kā’anapali can welcome visitors safely.
We recommend contacting your accommodations directly to confirm. Each hotel, resort, or condo has had different impacts and opening timelines. Most all will be open and operating by early November and eager to welcome visitors, but it’s best to confirm.
Browse our calendar for upcoming activities and events, and reopening updates. Continue to check back for new openings, events, and updates.
We continue to support our Maui community and invite you to join the efforts. The below non-profit organizations are dedicated to providing essential needs and support to our island ‘ohana and your donations or volunteer time can bring comfort and hope.

Celebrating 30 years of safe flying on Ka‘anapali Beach, UFO Parasail offers Deluxe and Out-of-this-World parasail rides – single, tandem or triple. And their UFO Adventures features the very popular light-tackle fishing, also whale watching in season. Their private charters are a great option to create your own Maui water adventure. Choose an hourly, half or full day adventure and add Light-Tackle Fishing, Sports Fishing, or Whale Watching (In season).
See West Maui from the air with UFO Parasail! Since 1985, UFO Parasail on Ka‘anapali Beach has been giving folks the thrill of a lifetime soaring above Maui’s aqua-blue waters and taking in the beauty of Maui’s west side, including the islands of Lana‘i and Moloka‘i. From May 16th to December 14th, their state-of-the-art winchboats, with the gold and green “alien” chutes, gently lift you on and off the back of the boat for safe, dry landings.
Enjoy a scenic boat ride while waiting your turn to rise skyward — solo or you can ride tandem or triple — so bring a friend or two. UFO makes parasailing safe and fun for everyone. Photo packages and logo wear are available.
*We have expanded our fishing operations to include a third boat and sport fishing discipline, as well as our popular light tackle bottom fishing charters. UFO is the only operational fishing business on the West Side. We also offer whale watching private and shared tours! All 3 vessels depart from Kaanapali Beach, in front of Whalers Village.
