King Kamehameha Golf Course Clubhouse

This touring cycling route along Honoapiilani Highway offers a fantastic blend of physical challenge and visual reward, leading you up to the King Kamehameha Golf Course. You'll experience a steady climb, gaining 706 feet (215 metres) in elevation, which opens up to breathtaking bi-coastal ocean views from the golf course's elevated position. The journey itself is a scenic coastal ride, with dramatic cliffside vistas and glimpses of neighboring islands unfolding as you pedal.

Planning your ride means being mindful of the Honoapiilani Highway's conditions; while there's typically a shoulder for cyclists, the road can be busy, and you might encounter debris. The 7.6-mile (12.2 km) route is rated moderate and takes about 51 minutes, making it a good option for a focused ride. If you're visiting in winter, keep an eye out for whale sightings along the southwest coastline, adding another layer to the experience.

What makes this route notable is the combination of its stunning, diverse scenery and the unique landmark of the King Kamehameha Golf Course, with its distinctive Frank Lloyd Wright-designed clubhouse. This section of the highway is part of the larger, challenging West Maui Loop, but this specific segment provides a more accessible taste of the region's renowned coastal beauty. It's an immersive way to experience Maui's natural splendor, offering both a workout and memorable views.
