Turtle Tracks
Any news on Turtle Tracks reopening? Mahalo
Here’s the latest on — and what we know about any possible reopening. Short answer: currently, it appears Turtle Tracks is not operating.
✅ What’s the situation now:
- Multiple recent listings (2025) mark Turtle Tracks as “Closed.” On Yelp, their status shows “Closed.”
- Tripadvisor reviews from as recently as 2025 say “there is no sign they ever were able to reopen.”
- Their official Facebook page includes a post announcing the previous owners retired.
- While their website remains online, there’s no recent activity or updated schedule, which reinforces that they are inactive at this time.
⚠️ What this means in practice:
It means you shouldn’t count on Turtle Tracks being available during your upcoming trip. Even though there have been hints in past years about a possible “relaunch” under new ownership (as their website suggests), there is no concrete evidence or verified opening date.
✅ What you can do instead:
- Use standard transportation — rental car, taxi, rideshare — especially since you will have a vehicle. Maui’s public transit and ride services (taxis, shuttles, rideshares) remain reliable alternatives.
- Check locally when you arrive — occasionally small services re-start quietly before updating online. A quick ask at your hotel or checking community bulletin boards might uncover similar “local shuttle” services.
- Explore other transit/convenience services depending on where you stay — especially if you're staying in Kihei, Wailea, or other areas previously served by Turtle Tracks.
🎯 My recommendation:
Given the lack of reliable confirmation that Turtle Tracks is operational, treat it as closed. Plan transportation as if the shuttle never existed. If you want to double-check once on-island you could contact the number last listed (808-866-9979), but as of most recent guest reports, it appears they’ve ceased operations entirely.
