Not worth the money for the attraction. It may be good for a younger child such as under 10 yrs of age my 12 yr old son said it was very boring and not what he or i expected.

Not highly recommended
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/06/08
Too much of this trip (half?) journeys through the industrial area on one side and junk-filled yards on the other! We actually saw a motorcycle that looked like it had been set afire! Towards the Kaanapaali station, things improved scenery-wise, but I can see a golf course at home any time. Some of the history was interesting and it was cool to ...

You don't see any sugar cane on this ride
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/29/07
It was nice to hear the history of the sugar cane industry on Maui, but mostly you went along the main road, and through some not so beautiful neighborhoods. We jsut did the 60 minute day trip- not the evening dinner trip.
Our 2 year old loved it- so it was worth the time.

Kids loved it!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/07
This short 1 hour train ride was so great for the kids. They love it and continue to be so excited when we pass the train station wanting to go for another ride. You pass through the Kaanapali Golf Courses and pass through the unseen parts of Lahaina and Kaanapali. It's quite serene.
You are essentially paying an obscene amount of money to take a cramped train ride along the same street on which you drove to reach the station, while getting continuous announcements about uninteresting "history" and repeated reminders about one rider's birthday. All the while, people come down with carts selling random food and other items for, again, obscene prices.

A fun ride
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/21/06
My husband, son, and I took a wonderful ride through the city. We used our AAA card for a discount, though one can use a printed discount coupon, found in magazines. The tour guide was very personable and knew interesting facts about the area. The steam engine had to be filled with water from the water tower. We all enjoyed seeing that. We also got ...

Need to improve
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/27/06
They need to improve this big time, make it more like a 'shuttle' train from the Kaanapali resort area to Lahaina town, and lower the price, the hwy between the two is CLOGGED with cars (several times during the day it is like rush hour in any major city--stop/go, stop/go), so, it would be nice to have a nice nostalgic shuttle for one to ...
It cost our family of 4 over 200 for a train ride and a meal. The food, while catered by the Marriot offerred ribs (that's the best on the menu), chicken and hot dogs...The entertainment was definitely so-so...I don't think this was worth the $206.00 we spent for 2 adults and 1 4yr old child. Our little one (2yr old was free)

A kid's thing.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/09/05
This is great for small kids but a bore for adults. Very short ride along highway and through some sugarcane. Too expensive for what you get. Wait and watch train from the highway for free!
