Kapalua Resort on Maui opens two free hiking trails

Advertiser Staff

Kapalua Resort has opened two hiking trails in the first step of a plan to create 100 miles of trails throughout the resort's 23,000 acres. Designed for all fitness levels, the trails are free and open to the public.

The Village Walking Trail follows the established system of golf cart paths and roadways on the former Village Course. The more remote Maunalei Arboretum Trail begins above the Plantation Estates in a series of loops that meander 3 miles along Honolua Ridge to the top of Pu'u Ka'eo.

A free shuttle service for the arboretum trailhead departs at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and noon from the Honolua Village Center.
