Airport Shuttle to Kihei & South Maui

VIP Trans Maui has been running shared shuttles between Kahului Airport (OGG) and South Maui since 1990. Whether you're heading to a beachfront condo in Kihei, a waterfront unit at Maalaea Harbor, or a resort along the sunny South Maui coast, our drivers know every street and shortcut. You land, we handle the rest.

Kihei stretches nearly 7 miles along South Maui's coast, offering some of the island's best weather and an impressive lineup of condos, restaurants, and beach parks. Unlike the more resort-heavy Wailea just to the south, Kihei has a relaxed, local feel β€” think beach cruisers, plate lunches, and some of Maui's best snorkeling right off the shore at Kamaole Beach Parks I, II, and III. Maalaea sits at the northern edge of the isthmus that connects the two sides of Maui. It's home to Maui Ocean Center β€” Hawaii's largest aquarium β€” and a small-boat harbor popular with whale-watching and snorkel tours. Because Maalaea is at the narrow waist of the island, it is famously windy; conditions there regularly produce some of the world's fastest ridable waves, attracting surfers from around the globe.

From Kahului Airport the drive south to Kihei typically takes 20 to 35 minutes, depending on time of day. Your shuttle heads south on Mokulele Highway (Hwy 311) through open sugar-cane fields with Haleakalā filling the skyline ahead. Near the coast, the landscape shifts to dryer kiawe scrubland before the highway meets South Kihei Road and the Pacific comes into full view. Traffic can slow near Azeka Shopping Center during morning and evening rush hours, but our drivers time pickups accordingly.

Traveler Tips

Tips for Traveling to Kihei / Maalaea

1

Book your outbound flight pickup at least 3 hours before departure β€” security lines at OGG can be long during peak season.

2

If you're renting a car during your stay, consider one-way arrival and departure shuttles to avoid the airport parking fee.

3

Kamaole Beach Park II has excellent parking-free snorkeling β€” ask your driver for the quickest walking route from your condo.

4

Early morning departures (before 6 AM) are common from Kihei because many inter-island and mainland flights leave at dawn β€” we operate 24/7.

Common Questions

Kihei / Maalaea Shuttle FAQ

How long is the shuttle ride from OGG to Kihei?
Approximately 20–35 minutes. Maalaea is slightly shorter at 15–25 minutes. Traffic near the Piilani Highway intersection can add 5–10 minutes during rush hour.
Do you service all condos and private residences in Kihei?
Yes β€” we service all hotels, condos, and private residences throughout Kihei and Maalaea. If your address is on a smaller side street, just add it in the notes field at checkout or call us at (808) 871-2702.
What's the difference between a Round Trip and One Way booking?
Round Trip covers both your arrival pickup from the airport and your departure drop-off back to OGG. One Way covers a single direction. Round Trip is the better value if you're not renting a car.
Can I book same-day if my flight lands today?
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance, but same-day bookings are accepted subject to availability. Call (808) 871-2702 for last-minute requests.
Is there a fee for oversized luggage or sports equipment?
Each passenger is allowed 2 standard bags at no extra charge. Oversized items, golf bags, surfboards, and bikes can be added during checkout for a small additional fee.
