The Village Walking Trails follow the established system of cart paths and roadways located on Kapalua Resort's former Village Course. The scenic trails offer hikers the opportunity to soak in the landscape of the West Maui mountainside (Mauna Kahalawai).

"There's a real lack of hiking resources islandwide," Maui Land & Pineapple Company's development coordinator Yarrow Flower said in a released statement. "Our vision for the 100-mile trail system is to give residents and visitors the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Maui in a unique setting. To be able to share this with the community is important to us."

The more remote Maunalei Arboretum Trail begins above The Plantation Estates in a series of loops that meander three miles along Honolua Ridge to the top of Pu'u Ka'eo. On this newly opened trail, hikers will encounter Kapalua Resort's unique arboretum.

There are three routes on the Maunalei Arboretum Trail: The Lower Arboretum Loop (one-half mile), the Banyan Loop (1 mile) and the Pu'u Ka'eo Ridge Trail (1.25 miles one-way). These trails are for hikers looking for a relaxing stroll in the woods or a more challenging trek up the mountain to catch a glimpse of the Pu'u Kukui Watershed Preserve.
