Airport Shuttle to Napili Bay & Kapalua

VIP Trans Maui connects Kahului Airport (OGG) to Napili Bay, Kapalua, and all resorts and condos on the North West tip of Maui β€” including the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Our drivers have made this run thousands of times and know every beachfront condo complex, golf course entrance, and service road. Book online and lock in your flat-rate fare before your trip even starts.

Napili Bay is one of Maui's most beloved small bays β€” a nearly perfect crescent of calm, reef-protected water that's ideal for swimming and snorkeling year-round. Sea turtles are common here, gliding lazily along the reef edge within a few feet of the shore. The bay is flanked by a mix of intimate, plantation-style condo complexes that have changed little since the 1960s and 70s, giving Napili a retro old-Hawaii character that many long-time visitors cherish. Kapalua, just a mile or two up the coast, is a different world. The Ritz-Carlton dominates the ridge above the ocean, and the Kapalua Resort encompasses two championship golf courses β€” the Plantation Course (home to the PGA Tour's Sentry Tournament of Champions every January) and the Bay Course. The Kapalua Coastal Trail links several stunning cliff-top beaches and is one of the best short hikes on West Maui.

Napili and Kapalua sit at the far northwestern tip of Maui β€” approximately 55–70 minutes from Kahului Airport. The route follows Honoapiilani Highway along the North Shore pali cliffs, passing through Lahaina, then north through Honokowai and Kahana before the road begins to climb toward Kapalua. The Ritz-Carlton entrance is near the top of this rise, with sweeping views back down the coast toward Ka'anapali. Napili's condo complexes are clustered just below the ridge, most within a short walk of the bay.

Common Questions

Napili / Kapalua Shuttle FAQ

How long is the shuttle from OGG to Kapalua?
Approximately 55–70 minutes. The Ritz-Carlton and Kapalua Golf Villas are near the top of the hill above Napili, adding a few extra minutes compared to the beachside condos below.
Do you drop off directly at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua?
Yes — we pull up to the main porte-cochère at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. The same applies to all Kapalua resort properties and Napili's condo complexes.
Is the shared shuttle comfortable for the longer ride to Kapalua?
Yes β€” our vehicles are clean, air-conditioned, and spacious. The North Shore pali drive is one of the most scenic in Hawaii, making the ride part of the experience.
What if I need to leave very early for a morning flight?
We operate 24/7. Pre-dawn pickups from Napili and Kapalua are common β€” select your shuttle departure time during booking. We recommend scheduling at least 3.5 hours before flight time given the longer drive to OGG.
Can I bring a surfboard or sports equipment?
Surfboards, bikes, and golf bags can be added as paid extras at checkout. Please book in advance so we can dispatch the appropriate vehicle size.
