Maui's main airport, Kahului Airport, will be the primary access to the island. From [wiki=16af6d6c1956205802da21e1ef453901]Kahului[/wiki], follow the signs to Kihei, and it should lead you to Highway 311 (Mokulele Highway). Once you reach Kihei, it becomes Highway 31 (Pi'ilani Highway). It is about 12 miles (20 km) from the Airport to Kihei and it will take 20-30 minutes to drive.
-
Kihei is a sprawling place, strung out along the coast for several miles but never more than a mile wide. The main road north-south along the ocean is South Kihei Road and it contains almost all the hotels, condos, restaurants, shops and beaches. If you are staying in the area and don't mind a bit of walking, you can probably get to most things you need without needing a car. If you do drive, the strip malls have their usual adequate free parking.
The Pi'ilani Highway (Highway 31), about half a mile inland, runs parallel to South Kihei Road and connects with the Mokulele Highway coming down from [wiki=16af6d6c1956205802da21e1ef453901]Kahului[/wiki]. There are quite a few streets that connect the highway with South Kihei Road, so if you're looking to go anywhere other than Kihei, this is the road to take. Note, when asking for directions, no locals will know what "Highway 31" is, they will know it as Pi'ilani Highway. The numbers of highways are seldom posted, and are not known by anyone on island.
Both South Kihei Road and the Pi'ilani Highway have bike lanes, so cyclists should have a bit of space on the roads.

All of the following bars are a short walk apart, and plenty of parking is available onsite. The crowd will be a mix of locals and tourists depending on the bar. You can usually catch a cab home from the Foodland parking lot next to "the Triangle". Alternatively, any bartender should be willing to call you a cab. Drinks cannot be carried from one bar to another. Last call is 1am. The area is safe, with many private security guards onsite, but reconsider walking home alone at closing time.
