Wailuku is the capital of the County of Maui, and you’ll find the same governmental bodies, services, restaurants, and shopping you would find in any typical American town. In Wailuku town center, you will find a variety of shops, restaurants, and services.
It’s small-town America that happens to be on one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
