Private charter to & from Wailea

Wailea is a planned resort community on Maui’s sunny south shore, where a string of crescent beaches is backed by luxury hotels, villas, golf courses and a shoreline walking path. It is one of the most popular destinations in Hawaii for families, couples and corporate retreats, and the economy here is almost entirely hospitality, real estate and second homes, with neighboring Kihei offering condos, shops and casual restaurants. The leeward location means sunshine nearly every day and calm morning water for swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding.

Most visitors arrive through Kahului, the island’s main airport, about a half-hour drive away. Flying private from Honolulu or another island lets you skip the airline schedule and terminal crowds and arrive when you want, ready to be on the beach in the afternoon. From Wailea it is a scenic drive up to Haleakala National Park for sunrise above the clouds, to the farms and ranches of Upcountry, or along the famous road to Hana. Boats leave nearby harbors for snorkeling at Molokini Crater, and whale watching in winter is among the best in the world.
