Travel as a Muslim to Wailuku

By Plane

Kahului Airport is a major airport about 10 minutes away, in nearby Kahului. This airport has Flights to many Hawaiian Islands, mainland, Alaska, and Vancouver, Canada.

By car

From Kahului, follow Kaahumanu Avenue (Highway 32) west. Kaahumanu Avenue turns into Main Street after passing an overpass and viaduct. To get to Iao Valley, continue past High Street (Highway 30) for about 0.5 mile and then take the fork in the road onto Iao Valley Road.

What to Do

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Wailuku

Halal Restaurants in Wailuku

Alas, Ooka Super Market, once the main supermarket in Wailuku, is no more. At one point and the only full-service supermarket in Wailuku was Sack North Save, at 790 Eha Street (corner of Eha Street and Waiehu Beach Road), but branches of Safeway (58 Maui Lani Parkway, across Baldwin High School) and Foodland (370 Kehalani Village Drive) have since opened. You can find a smaller selection at Takamiya Market on Market Street; they also serve a wide selection of ready-to-eat food. Whole Foods Market is about 10 minutes away in Kahului.

Tasty Crust | 1770 Mill Street near the intersection of Kaniela and Mill Sts ☎ +1 808 244-0845 - Less than $10 Don't let the surroundings or the decor deter you (it's in the middle of an old-style industrial park, and the decor is old-style Americana). This restaurant is very popular among local Mauians. The big draw at this restaurant is breakfast; their tagline is "World Famous Pancakes."
