The Sugar Cane Train provides fun family entertainment for everyone and is one of several Maui attractions offered by the Maui Fun Company at a modest price per ticket.
Join the Maui Sugar Cane Train as they travel between historic Lahaina town and the resorts of Kaanapali. Relax in an open-air coach whose nostalgic charm recall the day of the plantation era in old Hawaii.
With a blast of its steam whistle, the locomotive chugs along a 6 mile stretch of track at a leisurely pace. During your train ride, the Sugar Cane Train crosses a 325-foot curved wooden trestle whose elevation yields panoramic views of neighboring islands and the West Maui Mountains.
During your journey the conductor will entertain you with songs from the plantation era during the height of the sugar cane industry on Maui. Along the way you will pass by points of interest from an era gone by. Your conductor will share the history of the area and industry.
Railroads have been a part of the history of Hawaii for more than a 100 years, hauling sugar cane to the mills and transporting workers between their homes and the cane fields. During the plantation era of the sugar cane industry the steam locomotive became a picturesque part of the Hawaiian landscape sounding their whistles as they rounded mountain curves or as they churned along narrow-gauge track between fields of sugar cane and plantation villages.
The Sugar Cane Train offers a daily round trip schedule departing from either the Lahaina Station or the Puukolii (Kaanapali) Station. Your experience aboard the Sugar Cane Train should be about 90 minutes of total time. This includes a refreshment stop (no host) for juice, soda, water and snacks at the Puukolii Station in the heart of Kaanapali. The schedules of departures are as follows:
| Puukolii Station (Kaanapali) |

Once the whistle blows this adventure rumbles down the tracks powered by a vintage steam engine. The dinner train experience has begun.
Through Kaanapali down to the Lahaina Station the Sugar Cane train rolls down the tracks. The views of the ocean are beautiful, the ride a memory of the plantations days that are long gone, but not forgotten.
After the turn around in Lahaina the Sugar Cane Train begins its journey back to Kaanapali stopping at the secluded Kaanapali Station. As you debark from the train, you are greeted by hula dancers and the staff of the Sugar Cane Train.
Set in a private setting this Maui dinner train luau is simple. Small in size, the tables are spread apart. This Maui luau dinner train reminds you of a back yard party local style.
