Matson is a shipping company that serves as a lifeline between Hawaii and the US mainland, especially for shipping vehicles. The staff at locations like Kahului Harbor are described as awesome, friendly, professional, and going above and beyond with kind and gracious hearts, providing great customer service. The process for shipping a vehicle is noted as easy, with everything now managed online. Customers appreciate being able to track their vehicle's shipping and location, though the website tracking can sometimes be off by several days compared to more accurate estimates given by agents over the phone. Vehicles typically arrive as scheduled, safe and sound, and even sooner than expected in some cases. Important preparation requirements include having a gas level at ΒΌ tank or less, emptying the vehicle of loose items, and ensuring it is clean for inspection. While signage at some ports may be poor, the overall experience is reported as great and relaxing, with the company providing a vital service for moves.
Didn't really do much here . Mainly a small shipping port for cruises. Scenic views from the upper decks of the ship.

Got my car shipped in and everything went great. Car actually came in early and they only give you 2 days to pick up so if it comes in early then make sure you are around or pay out the butt.

Easy pickup of my car, took 10 minutes total. No damage and Young Bros handled the barge shipment well in bad weather. Car was very clean. Thanks
