Go Karting in Hawaii

Challenge your friends at the best tracks Hawaii has to offer.

Go Karting in Hawaii is currently in a state of transition. For tourists and locals looking for commercial "Arrive & Drive" racing, the options have unfortunately evaporated. With the permanent closures of major venues on Oahu, the state no longer hosts a standard indoor or outdoor rental kart facility open to the general public. The scene is now defined almost exclusively by grassroots club racing on Maui, which remains the sole destination for serious motorsport enthusiasts.

The Hawaii karting market is currently limited to a single private club track.
  1. The Last Stand - Club Racing (Maui): Maui Go Karters Association (Puunene): Located at the Maui Motorsports Park, this is the only active kart track in the state. It is a 0.5-mile outdoor asphalt sprint circuit designed for 2-stroke and 4-stroke race karts. Important: This is a private club, not a commercial amusement park. They do not offer daily ticket-booth rentals. However, they are the hub for the local racing community and occasionally host "Test Drive" events or track days where non-members can experience the circuit.
  2. The "Karting Desert" (Oahu & Other Islands) - Oahu: Following the closure of K1 Speed (Kapolei) and the shutdown of Drift Zone attractions, there are currently zero active go-kart tracks on the most populous island.
Big Island & Kauai: Neither island has a commercial karting facility.

Go karting in Hawaii - FAQs

Common questions about karting in Hawaii.

No. Since the permanent closure of K1 Speed and Drift Zone, there are no active go-karting venues on Oahu.

Generally, no. The Maui Go Karters Association is a private club for kart owners. They do not offer "Arrive & Drive" rentals to the general public like a fun center. You must check with the club directly regarding any potential "Test Drive" events or instruction days.

High land costs, strict zoning, and the economic impact of recent years have made it difficult for commercial kart tracks (which require large footprints) to survive in Hawaii.
