Maui Walking Tours LLC launches Wailuku Street Murals & History Tour

Maui Walking Tours LLC has expanded to offer free city walking tours in both Kīhei and Wailuku. The tour company’s newest guided walking tour takes participants through the streets of Wailuku sharing stories of its rich history. In addition to highlighting historic landmarks, buildings, and architecture, the tour weaves close to a dozen Wailuku street murals into the route, sharing the history and culture depicted through art. Tours are held every other Saturday, starting at the courtyard in front of the State Office Building and last 90 minutes.

“The Wailuku tour is so unique and covers a wide range of information. Whether you enjoy a detailed history lesson, colorful street art, or a good old fashioned ghost story, we share such a broad range of well researched stories,” said founder Keith DeVey. “It doesn’t matter if you are a local resident or a visiting tourist, you will see and appreciate Wailuku through a new lens.”

Maui Walking Tours LLC originally launched earlier this year in March with a free walking tour of Kīhei every Monday and Wednesday.  Now with over 40 guided Kīhei tours under their belt, the city walking tour company is excited to offer free tours of a second Maui town. 

“We have so many beautiful murals throughout Wailuku painted by talented local artists and even famous international muralists,” said DeVey. “I always enjoy hearing from our tour participants along the way to learn what murals they enjoy the best and what elements speak loudest for them personally.”

The Wailuku tour covers a little over a mile of relatively flat terrain. Tours are capped at 25 participants to assure group sizes are not too large. Tours must be reserved online in advance by visiting https://www.mauiwalkingtours.com/.
