Tips
The Sugar Cane
Train runs multiple trips daily between Kaanapali and Lahaina
on their 6 miles of track. The daytime fare is $19.95 for
adults, $13.95 for children 3-12, and children under 3 are
free. No advanced reservations are necessary for the daytime
train ride ... just show up at one of the stations and buy
your tickets.
During the
daytime the ride can be rather warm ... the exception is their
once-a-week dinner train (twice a week during summer). This
really is an enchanting event, and the late afternoon / early
evening ride makes this trip much more enjoyable and scenic as
the temperatures are much more pleasant and the mountains are
bathed in the early evening setting sun.
Unlike the day
Sugar Cane Train, the evening Sunset Dinner Train requires
advanced reservations and often fills up a week or more in
advance during busy periods. Reserve this one before you
arrive!
The Sheraton
caters this event, and they do a very nice job. The Sheraton
also hosts a very nice luau
on Wednesday evenings with the very best ocean view of any
luau on Maui.
