Kihei, located on Maui’s sun-drenched southwestern shore, offers more than just golden sands and rolling surf—it’s a gateway to laid-back island adventure. Among the unique outdoor experiences here, Aloha Pixabus presents a standout way to savor the Waikiki glow: a Sunset Beer and Beach Cruise aboard a vintage Volkswagen bus.

The journey begins as the late afternoon light casts long shadows over the patchwork fields and quaint neighborhoods of Kihei. Climbing aboard one of Aloha Pixabus’s meticulously restored vintage VWs, guests get a front-row seat to scenic beaches, coastal viewpoints, and a light ocean breeze that carries the salty tang of the Pacific. Each cruise includes a selection of locally crafted beers, a nod to Hawaii’s growing craft brewing scene, allowing for relaxed tasting as you coast toward the sunset.

The surrounding coastline features distinctive black lava rock formations contrasting with shimmering white sands and the occasional palm tree silhouette against a sapphire sky. Wildlife such as shorebirds and Hawaiian monk seals occasionally grace the beaches, while the peaceful surf hums a steady rhythm. This moment blends culture, nature, and nostalgia into a refined outdoor experience.

Aloha Pixabus integrates local knowledge and genuine aloha spirit into every ride, making their cruises not just about the view but a meaningful connection to Maui’s community and environment. Their vehicles, lovingly maintained and uniquely outfitted, bring a burst of classic Americana mixed with island charm.

Perfect for anyone looking to slow down and absorb Maui’s coastal beauty with a craft beer in hand, this tour is as much a social event as an escape.
