By travelling to Maui, buying & supporting local businesses, you help Maui recover & help locals who rely on tourism for their families’ livelihood.

Maui is an amazing place - make your vacation a lifetime experience by learning about the historical & cultural significance of its people & places. The people of Maui thank visitors for respectful & mindful travel & also for joining in their mission to mālama (care for) archeological sites, & the rich & important Hawaiian culture. It is easy to kōkua (help) the local community in this goal by staying on trails & practicing "Leave No Trace" (packing out all you bring in & leaving everything as is) hele mālie—walk softly as you go! There are also volunteer opportunities for those wanting to share their time on Maui.

Mahalo for visiting with aloha (living in harmony with others & the land around us - with love, grace & kindness).
