Lipstick Red

The brilliant red stem and lushly colored green fronds of the lipstick palm (Cyrtostachys renda) can add style and panache to your home garden and contribute a tropical flair to your lawn’s landscape. The lipstick palm, also called red sealing wax palm due to its resemblance of the similar colored wax used to seal letters and envelopes, is a native to Southeast Asia and parts of the Pacific. The intensely red-colored stem creates a stunningly exotic aesthetic and a vivid pop when added to a landscape. Needing moderate maintenance, this palm does best in Hawai‘i’s environment and other tropical climates where it thrives off high humidity, ample rainfall and rich soils.

Fresh Bowl

Often a bucket-list item for visitors to try, poke is synonymous with the Hawaiian Islands and has roots in pre-contact times. While maintaining elements of the traditional recipe, poke has incorporated ingredients of settlers and mirrors modern palates helping it become a popular dish worldwide. Whether stepping up to the poke counter at a grocery store or visiting a neighborhood poke shop, the options can seem overwhelming; but by understanding the history, ingredient options and ways to eat poke, you can have fun along the culinary adventure of enjoying one of Hawai‘i’s favorite dishes.

Long ago, fishermen would return from their time at sea to clean the fish they caught that day. While cleaning the fish, they would take tiny bits of the remnants and season them with Hawaiian sea salt, bits of limu (seaweed) and a sprinkle of ‘inamona (ground and roast kukui nut). This nutritious dish replenished their vigor and satisfied their hunger and thus, the dish of poke was born. Today, poke can still be enjoyed on its own as a snack or as a pupu (appetizer). Many shops also offer poke bowls which start with a generous serving of steamed rice and usually two poke options. Poke bowls continue to progress with lots of colorful toppings and sauce options but the great debate in the islands is how to properly eat a poke bowl. Some locals prefer to dig right in and eat their poke bowl as-is with each scoop being a luck of the draw. Others prefer to mix all the ingredients in the bowl together to ensure equal ingredients in each bite. Either way, poke bowls are a fun way to enjoy this traditional creation in a modern way. From its roots in ancient Hawai‘i, poke has come a long way to reflect the melting pot that Hawai‘i has become.

Spiritual Guide

It’s likely that when you think of tropical birds found on Hawai‘i, owls are not some of the first mental images that you conjure up. But the pueo, or Hawai‘i’s own short-eared owl, makes its home across the Hawaiian Islands, including here on Maui. Unlike other owls, the pueo is active during the daytime, and can be found from sea level to much higher elevations, and seem to prefer open grassland. With dark brown and white feathers, and large yellow eyes, these beautiful birds differ from the more frequently seen barn owl. Found prominently in Haleakalā National Park and other upcountry areas, these beautiful birds of prey are sacred creatures to Hawaiians. Endemic to Hawai‘i, the pueo is thought to have arrived around the same time as the ancient Polynesians or even before, and is said to be the manifestation of ‘aumākua (ancestral guardians), to many families past and present. Pueo appears in many Hawaiian legends and myths and is still revered with the utmost respect and love. Representing skill in battle, pueo are seen as protectors or guides, as well as messengers of warning and bringers of good luck. Sadly, their populations have been on the decline, making sighting of these beautiful birds rare, so be sure to keep your eyes out for them in your travels.

Colored Pencil

Hawai‘i’s waters are known for their colorful fish, exotic coral and even large mammals. One of the more visually striking creatures is the red pencil urchin, also known as ‘ina ‘ula in Hawaiian, with long, solid bright red spines protruding out of its round body. Looking almost like a pincushion for crayons, these peaceful pointy creatures typically reside in the crevices of offshore reefs, emerging at night to feed on a diet of mostly algae. Though these urchins aren’t poisonous, do not touch them as you can cause serious damage to the creature. It’s hard to resist the appeal of such an intriguing, vibrant marine animal, but snorkelers and scuba divers are asked to admire with their eyes, not with their hands.

Sweet Lei

Plumeria, or melia, is a popular flower for lei for its sweet fragrance, beauty, color variation and abundance. White plumeria are most often seen though they can be pink or red and include yellow and orange hues. Also called frangipani, they are a favorite in perfumes and bathing products. With their elliptical, pointy petals, they are as beautiful as they are pungent with velvety texture that makes them feel sensuous to the touch. It takes approximately 50 blossoms for a single, 40-inch lei. The plumeria lei will last for one day. To maintain the freshness of the lei, sprinkle water lightly, wrap in a damp paper towel and keep cool.

Give Back

In ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i, Mālama Pono means “to take care and do what is right.” Pacific Whale Foundation’s program Mālama Pono embodies this value by inviting both residents and visitors to take part in experiences that restore Maui’s ‘āina (land) and strengthen our connection to place. Through hands-on opportunities, like caring for coastal areas, supporting native restoration and partnering with local community groups, participants practice mālama pono in action. Each activity is rooted in respect for culture, land and sea, encouraging mindful behaviors that leave a positive impact long after the day is done. By coming together to protect our ecosystems, locals and travelers alike can honor Maui’s natural and cultural heritage while ensuring its vitality for generations to come. Explore the Mālama Pono calendar to join them in caring for Maui with intention and integrity.

Saving Wildlife

Founded in 1996, the Hawai‘i Wildlife Fund focuses on conserving Hawaiian wildlife, protecting native species and restoring natural habitats. Based in Ka‘anapali, this nonprofit operates programs throughout the state that connect volunteers with opportunities to make a positive impact and protect our fragile ecosystems. These programs include hiking into remote areas to monitor honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) nests, conducting coastal cleanups on the Big Island or tending plants in native nurseries. For regular volunteers, there is also a program where groups search the shoreline for lost or abandoned nets, which pose dangers to sea creatures. Whether you have an afternoon, a day or a weekend, the Hawai‘i Wildlife Fund offers volunteer opportunities that fit your schedule and interests.

CULTIVATING VOYAGERS

Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua’s floating classroom is inspiring the next generation of voyagers.

story SARA STOVER

Agentle rain fell as Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani slowly rolled up Front Street to Māla Wharf before sunrise on the morning of July 7, 2014. Four days later, the nearly 63-foot, 12-ton, wa‘a kaulua (doublehulled traditional sailing canoe) was launched into the ocean off the shores of Lāhainā at high tide. Crew of the Mo‘okiha, paddlers from 40 Maui canoe and paddling clubs, and Hawaiian practitioners from across the island gathered on the historic pier and in the water for a traditional Hawaiian canoe launching ceremony.

Since being launched, Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani, which means “The Sacred Lizard of Pi‘ilani,” has served as a floating classroom for Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua, an organization that formed in 1975 to fund the building of its first canoe, Mo‘olele, which translates to “The Leaping Lizard.”

“In 1974, the late master carver and wa‘a builder LeVan Keola Sequeira began building Mo‘olele, a solid wood 42-foot wa‘a kaulua with a single mast and a traditional crab claw sail. This was occurring while the Hōkūle‘a was being constructed on O‘ahu. The launch of both canoes in 1975 represented a revival of ancient Hawaiian voyaging. It was a crucial part of the Native Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance movement of the 1970s,” says Kalā Baybayan Tanaka, a navigator and the Hui’s education director. The Hōkūle‘a is a double-hulled Hawaiian canoe best known for completing a voyage from Hawai‘i to Tahiti using only traditional navigation techniques in 1976.

Meaning “the group of the double hull canoes,” Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua was officially formed in 1978 as a 501(c) (3) organization, and by the mid-1990s, work on the Mo‘okiha o Pi‘ilani began. Made from wood, fiberglass and resin with a twin mast, the wa‘a kaulua was crafted for outer island voyaging over the course of 17 years at West Maui’s Kamehameha Iki Park. When she isn’t out on a voyage, the Mo‘okiha can be found moored in her slip at Mā‘alaea Harbor.

In 2023, however, Mo‘okiha o Pi‘ilani made an unexpected voyage. When the catastrophic wildfire swept through Lāhainā on August 8, the canoe’s crew sprang into action, sailing her from where she was floating offshore to the shores of Moloka‘i and then O‘ahu. There, the ash-covered canoe went into dry dock.

Mo‘olele, which was in a park on Front Street where it was being restored, wasn’t as fortunate. 48 years after the launch of the canoe, she was lost in the fires along with all of Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua’s operations. Despite the devastating loss, the Hui has continued sailing along, fueled by a clear vision to cultivate future generations of voyagers who will perpetuate Hawaiian culture through Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani.

At the Hui’s stern is an inspiring trio made up of Kalā, Beth Montalvo and Timi Gilliom. Serving as Executive Director, Beth is no stranger to overcoming challenges. In 1991, she was severely injured while on an all-terrain vehicle. Today, Beth is an active paraplegic who uses adaptive equipment to paddle an outrigger canoe.

Timi joined the Hui more than two decades ago, learning to sail on Mo‘olele and being mentored by many Pwo (master navigators), including the late Pwo Kālepa Baybayan, before completing the building of Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani. Today, Timi is the kapena (captain) of the Mo‘okiha. Kalā, the daughter of Pwo Baybayan, also studied with her father.

“After my first sail with my dad, I wanted to know everything about voyaging and navigation. He told me that I needed to find my canoe. At that time, Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua was building Mo‘okiha, so one day I

went down to see if I could help. That day, I helped with sanding. After that, I helped every day. Being on the wa‘a changed my life. It led me to education,” says Kalā, who is also a middle school teacher for Lāhainā Intermediate School’s Kaiapuni o Lāhainā Hawaiian Immersion program. “After the fire, lots of kids had to move too, but many still come back and do the Hui’s programs.”

The programs include Wa‘a Mo‘olau, the ‘ōpio (junior) voyaging program, which reaches around 100 school children and community members every year. The program teaches haumāna (students) about celestial navigation, which is a bridge to astronomy, and voyaging on the ocean, which is a gateway to marine biology and other physical sciences.

Papa Holokai is Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua’s crew training program for junior and senior voyagers, empowering crew through in-depth education of Hawaiian voyaging knowledge. This includes the history of voyaging, cultural protocol, celestial navigation, sense of place, nature awareness, health and fitness and the cultivation and use of native plants.

The program ensures vessel and passenger safety by training students as lifeguards and in CPR and AED, embarking and disembarking harbor dock procedures, navigation voyaging procedures in and out of the water, vessel maintenance, protocols like oli (chants) and food storage for voyaging. In partnership with Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve, which focuses on reforesting Hawai‘i to prevent runoff that is likely damaging to coral reefs, junior voyagers may even spend half a day planting koa trees in the watershed.

out at the Okeanos and Hokule‘a

In addition to skill building, the wa‘a kaulua also engages students in the practice of traditional Hawaiian behavior norms and beliefs like kōkua (help), kuleana (responsibility) and ho‘omau (persevering). Programs can range from a single hour of instruction on knot tying and cleating to multi-week courses that teach skills to become a skilled kanaka holomoana (seafaring person), including practical lifesaving tactics, waterfront training and ocean safety.

Longer programs conclude with an overnight or multi-day voyage on Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani. From whales and dolphins to sharks, haumana observe the kai, the realm of the ocean, while on their way to a neighboring island where they participate in community outreach at festivals and public events. Often, junior voyagers even learn how to can, preserve, bottle and pressurize food for a deep-sea voyage.

“The food part is now a major thing for us. The first time we did a multi-day voyage, it was 100% provisioned by our community’s hands through preserved meals. And it was delicious! Since then, one component of our voyages is to bring along all the food. It’s grown on the island and is preserved and freeze-dried by their hands. At night, the crew sits around talking about how the fish they are eating was caught by one person’s friend and another person’s family preserved it for us,” Kalā recalls. “We’ve also partnered with other voyaging organizations that have invited merchant mariners to talk to youth and adults alike about careers in maritime. It makes them think about our ancestors. We’re a maritime people — that’s how we traversed between the islands!”

Learning about career pathways into the maritime industry from professional guest speakers is just the beginning. The keiki also learn cooperation and unity.

“There is a saying: ‘He wa‘a he moku, he moku he wa‘a — The canoe is an island, the island is a canoe.’ We use this to teach the keiki that when we are on the wa‘a, that’s our island, so we need to get along, manage resources, take care of our canoe, respect everyone’s roles and work together in unity to arrive at the destination. Then, we

instruct them to look at the island and ask: What does a healthy island canoe look like?” Kalā explains. It is this question that led to partnerships that supported two weeks at the Hawai‘i Wildlife Fund’s Discovery Center in June. Immersed in stories, songs and seamanship skills, sixth through eighth-grade students learned how to create virtual 3D maps of Maui’s reefs from Professor Haunani Kane, a traditional navigator who also leads this technique at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo’s (UH Hilo) Multi-scale Environmental Graphical Analysis (MEGA) Lab using emerging technologies to mālama ‘āina (care for the land) and to make research accessible to everyone. “The students learned to map the coral heads, which taught them to rebuild relationships our ancestors had that allowed them to thrive.”

The Hawai‘i Wildlife Fund has partnered with Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua since opening its Discovery Center in 2021. Partnerships with groups like MEGA Lab emphasize the life lessons that mapping can teach, poignantly conveyed by Pwo Baybayan in his keynote address at UH Hilo’s fall commencement in 2017: “Draw your own map, become the map maker, the cartographer for your own life. Don’t let anyone tell you what you should be. Don’t let others define you. Be responsible for owning your own dream and vision of where you want to arrive at. Be persistent and relentless and working that sail plan so that you arrive at your destination.”

These integral partnerships also advance the Hui’s commitment to developing and conducting model educational programs by using voyaging to challenge and inspire students and their communities to learn about, respect and care for the natural and social environment around them.

“Hui O Wa’a Kaulua also teaches its participants lessons that they can apply locally and globally. They learn to put the ‘āina (land) first. And when you put the ‘āina first, it ensures that limu and fish can grow, and we have food to eat and water,” Kalā shares. “It teaches us to value interpersonal relationships and treat each other and all of humanity with aloha, acknowledging that every person has a strength and we have the ability to

work together and uplift each other, leading to a successful voyage. This translates to school, home, the workplace and beyond. It’s bigger than just learning voyaging.”

As a tribute to voyaging and specifically to the Mo‘olele, a new wa‘a, Nāleilehua, is being built from the same molds as the original canoe by Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua, led by builder and Kapena Timi. Kalā anticipates that the keiki will have the opportunity to help with the final stages of the canoe building.

“This wa‘a is Mo‘olele’s descendant and connects the keiki (children) back to LeVan Sequeira. I see our youth coming in once all the hulls are finished and it’s time to help with lashing,” says Kalā. The Hui has also received help replacing the voyaging canoe that burned in the wildfires from the DLNR Division of State Parks, which donated over 22,000 pounds of koa. Kaua‘i trucker Timmy Lopez hauled the donated koa to the harbor, where Pasha Hawai‘i loaded it onto a ship bound for Maui. Along with the koa and the land and ocean transportation, the fiberglass hulls were also donated.

The 44-foot-long Nāleilehua is being built with donated koa to appear and function as traditional, while incorporating modern components such as hatch covers for storage. Kapena Timi and his crew of three are working tirelessly to have the new wa‘a finished this year.

“We still feel the loss of Mo‘olele. She is now with our kūpuna who transitioned,” Kalā concludes. “But I know she continues to live on through Nāleilehua and the keiki. And as long as she does, we will continue to provide educational programs to all of Maui Nui. E ola mau loa nā wa‘a kaulua o Hawai‘i — Let the traditions of the canoe live on.”

FOREST IN FLUX

The Kahakapao Loop Trail offers a surprising escape into a forest shaped by more than a century of human influence.

story SERENE GUNNISON images RACHEL OLSSON

On the cool, northern slopes of Haleakalā, the six-mile Kahakapao Loop Trail winds through a lush, misty forest that feels strikingly out of place on Maui. One of several trails in the 2,093-acre Makawao Forest Reserve, Kahakapao Loop is dominated by thick stands of non-native trees. At 3,000 feet, temperatures are cool. Fog often hangs in the canopy, while moss and ferns bathe the forest in green. It’s a version of the tropics few visitors expect. Yet, Kahakapao Loop Trail is more than just a unique escape. The trail is a living piece of Upcountry history and offers a glimpse of the area’s changing landscape.

The Kahakapao Loop Trailhead is a short drive mauka (uphill) of Makawao — a historic ranching town that’s now a popular destination for dining and shopping. Makawao was once the hub of Upcountry Maui, supporting a thriving community that revolved around cattle ranching and sugar plantations. To reach the trail, head up Kahakapao Road via Pi‘iholo Road, where acres of pastureland hint at Makawao’s paniolo (cowboy) heritage.

From the trailhead, Kahakapao Loop climbs through a dense forest of eucalyptus, tropical ash, pine and other non-native species. The path threads through gulches and across ridgelines, gradually gaining 1,200 feet of elevation. Cool temperatures, iron-rich red soil and the scent of fragrant conifers and hardwoods offer an unexpected contrast to Maui’s sunny coastlines.

But the forest didn’t always look this way. Two hundred years ago, this area was home to native trees like ‘ōhi‘a, koa and ‘iliahi (sandalwood). By the late 1800s, ranching and logging had decimated forests throughout Maui’s uplands. The loss of native canopy caused severe erosion and disrupted natural water cycles. In Hawai‘i, healthy upland forests act like sponges — capturing rainfall and recharging groundwater.

To counter the damage, Hawai‘i’s first territorial forester, Ralph Hosmer, established a system of forest reserves to protect these critical watersheds. Hosmer officially dedicated the Makawao Forest Reserve for conservation in 1908. However, instead of restoring native species, Hosmer prioritized fastgrowing, non-native trees that could stabilize the watershed quickly.

Decades later, in the 1960s, the State Division of Forestry launched a massive reforestation campaign at Makawao Forest Reserve. With help from inmates at the now-shuttered Olinda Correctional Facility, crews planted thousands of trees. The result is a towering, mixed forest that feels more like the Pacific Northwest than a Pacific island. Today, when you walk the Kahakapao Loop, you’re walking a piece of Upcountry’s history.

Despite the dominance of introduced trees, native species persist in the forest. Lucky hikers might see or hear native forest birds like ‘apapane and ‘amakihi flitting overhead. Endemic plants like māmaki, maile and ‘ie‘ie grow in patches along the trail’s edge. Giant hāpu‘u ‘i‘i (Hawaiian tree ferns) unfurl in the gulches while endangered hala pepe trees cling to cliffsides. Tiny native snails and happy-face spiders hide in the undergrowth. Even some koa and ‘ōhi‘a trees remain, reminders of the forest’s original makeup.

Although the reserve dates back over a century, the Kahakapao Loop Trail is a relatively new addition. Makawao Forest Reserve opened for public access in 1997, but it wasn’t until 2003 that

volunteers — working alongside the state’s Nā Ala Hele Trails and Access Program — began carving out a trail system designed for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. Their flagship creation was Kahakapao Loop, followed by a series of bike-only tracks that now crisscross the forest.

Today, Kahakapao Loop is one of Maui’s most popular mixed-use trails — and it still relies on kokua (help) from volunteers. Local organizations like the Sierra Club Maui Chapter host regular volunteer workdays. These hands-on events focus on trail upkeep and invasive species removal, offering visitors a chance to give back while forging a deeper connection to the forest.

However, that connection can come in many forms. While hiking draws most visitors, those seeking a faster-paced adventure might opt to mountain bike. Rather than lug a bike across the Pacific, riders can rent gear at Krank Cycles, just down the street on Makawao Avenue. Kahakapao Loop Trail is just one of many mountain biking trails within the Makawao Forest Reserve, with routes that cater to all ability levels — from toddlers on pushbikes to seasoned pros.

Regardless of whether you’re on two wheels or two legs, the Kahakapao Loop Trail is a tour through changing environments. You’ll move through groves of fragrant pines, corridors of beautiful-but-invasive Himalayan ginger and past quiet picnic spots beneath endemic hala pepe trees. However, the most striking section of the forest cuts through a sea of native kupukupu ferns, their serrated edges pointing skyward beneath a canopy of tropical ash trees.

Like many of Maui’s forest reserves, Makawao Forest is a landscape in flux. While the restoration efforts of the past helped protect the island’s watersheds, they also created monocultures of nonnative trees and invasive species that continue to outcompete native plants. In many ways, hiking this forest is like walking through a timeline of human influence.

Before hitting the trail, come prepared. There’s a small parking area at the trailhead with informational signage, but no restrooms or trash cans. The loop is well-marked and easy to follow in either direction. Be ready for changing weather — fog and light rain are common, and conditions can be muddy after a storm. Closed-toe shoes and plenty of water are musts. You can also help ensure the health of the forest and native species within by using the provided boot brush stations to avoid tracking in invasive seeds or pests.

Kahakapao Loop may not offer dramatic coastal views or waterfalls, but what it delivers is just as valuable: a surprising mix of native and non-native life, and a deeper understanding of how people continue to shape — and restore — Hawai‘i’s forests.

MELE IN MOTION

From traditional chants to surf rock, the Maui Ocean Center’s latest production brings Hawaiian music and storytelling to life.

story SERENE GUNNISON

The Maui Ocean Center recently expanded its evening offerings with the debut of “Mele: The Hawaiian Music Experience,” a visually stunning musical production held twice weekly in the aquarium’s intimate 360-degree Sphere Theater. Developed, directed and performed by Maui-raised entertainer Eric Gilliom, “Mele” blends a 16-song performance with synchronized imagery and live hula to create an immersive journey through Hawai‘i’s storied landscapes and musical legacy.

Kicking off with sweeping aerial footage of Haleakalā, Gilliom starts the show with a musical tribute to Maui’s largest mountain. What follows is a sensory voyage that moves from mountaintop to the sea, through rainforests, coral reefs and across decades of Hawai‘i’s influence on pop culture. Over the course of the evening, “Mele” highlights songs in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language), traditional and contemporary hula, ‘ukulele-driven surf rock and mid-century Hawai‘i-inspired tunes.

The setlist includes classics like “Rhythm of the Ocean,” and “Tiny Bubbles,” as well as a lighthearted tribute to Lāhainā — sharing memories of the town rather than dwelling on tragedy. One highlight includes a rendition of “Surf,” originally by the Ka‘au Crater Boys. During the number, dancers drape a long sheer sheet over the audience to mimic a breaking wave and lyrics are tweaked to reflect Maui’s famous surfing spots. Audience participation is encouraged throughout the show, whether it’s clapping along to a beat, singing a familiar chorus or joining a call-andresponse. All songs are paired with 360-degree visuals, from colorful illustrations to footage captured around Maui.

Gilliom’s vision for “Mele” grew after visiting the Sphere Theater, which opened in 2019 as part

of Maui Ocean Center’s “Humpbacks of Hawai‘i” exhibit — featuring a short 3D film about Maui’s humpback whales. “This show came about because I was watching what was going on with the sphere in Vegas,” says Gilliom. “I thought, ‘Well, we have a sphere. Maybe it’s not like the one in Vegas, but we have a pretty cool venue here.”

After pitching the idea of a Hawaiian music show to the Maui Ocean Center, Gilliom soon set about recording and producing the show’s backing tracks. “I worked with my friend Michael Roth, who’s produced a lot of really big artists,” says Gilliom. “He and I produced all the music.”

Many of the show’s tracks feature prolific musicians such as Mick Fleetwood and members of the James Taylor Band. Gilliom also sourced musicians from around Hawai‘i to incorporate Hawaiian aspects like slack key guitar and chants. Gilliom says the music production took between six and seven months.

However, producing the music proved to be one of the least challenging aspects of creating “Mele”. Gilliom collaborated with local filmmaker Doug DeBoer to create the show’s visuals. “Creating visuals for a 360-degree theater has inherent challenges,” he says. “You either shoot in 360 or create something that’s 360.” In the end, Gilliom and DeBoer used AI tools and 360-degree footage from around Maui to piece together the show’s striking imagery.

With the music and visuals complete, Gilliom faced yet another hurdle: the sound. Sound is easily distorted in a dome-shaped theater, becoming warbled and echoey, especially when blending live vocals and instruments with backing tracks. Gilliom’s solution was to provide each audience member with headphones for studiostyle sound. “One day it hit me,” he says. “I’ve been to a silent rave before, and the headphones

they make are pretty sophisticated. It was kind of a gamble, but [the headphones] took all of those sound issues out of the equation.” Not only do the headphones preserve the sound quality, but they also add an element of fun to the production. However, Gilliom says they are working to improve the sound within the theater, and some guests enjoy the show without headphones.

“Mele” took a year to develop, premiering on July 1, 2025. Now, Gilliom and the cast take to the Sphere Theater stage every Tuesday and Saturday night. Gilliom is joined onstage by ukulele virtuoso Vince Esquire, whose lightning-fast solos provide a dynamic counterpart to Gilliom’s vocals. Three accomplished hula dancers — Sanoe Elf, Kehulali Douglas and Gerilyn Hewahewa — add movement and emotion to each number.

“Mele” is a deeply personal project for Gilliom, who was raised on Maui. His career has taken him far from the islands, appearing in films and performing on Broadway, yet his work has consistently celebrated his family and Hawaiian heritage. His grandmother, Jennie “Napua” Wood, was a celebrated Hawaiian entertainer in the 1940s and ’50s. Before launching into the familiar strains of Don Ho’s “Tiny Bubbles,” Gilliom tells the audience she would have loved this show — a nod to the era she helped define. His sister, Amy Hānaiali‘i, became a Grammy-nominated singer, and her vocals can be heard on select tracks throughout the performance. His brother, Tim, a captain with the Polynesian Voyaging Society, appears in a short video clip about Hawaiian wayfinding before Gilliom performs an original song, “Hōkūle‘a,” written for his brother and other Hawaiian navigators.

While Gilliom weaves some personal elements into “Mele,” the broader goal of the show was to offer something new in the world of entertainment on Maui. “I think it’s unlike any other show that’s out there,” says Gilliom. “It’s a unique offering for people who are looking for something new to do on Maui. Just some great

local Hawaiian songs in the Hawaiian language, and some songs that are local pop music and famous songs from Hawai‘i.”

The Maui Ocean Center’s decision to host “Mele” reflects its growing role as more than just an aquarium. Long known for its marine life exhibits and cultural offerings, the center has increasingly used its Sphere Theater as a platform for storytelling. “We’ve always been a bit more than an aquarium,” says Maui Ocean Center’s marketing manager Mark Matthews. By partnering with Gilliom, the aquarium has deepened its cultural offerings and provides guests with a new reason to visit after dark. “We’re constantly looking at who we can be to the community,” says Matthews. “We want to continue our pillars of community, culture and conservation. [“Mele”] fits squarely in the cultural outreach portion.”

The Maui Ocean Center has positioned “Mele” as a signature experience, and it’s easy to see why. The production evokes the islands’ history, beauty and cultural richness in just one hour. It leaves audiences with a deeper understanding of Hawai‘i’s place in the global music story — and perhaps a deeper connection to the islands themselves.

“Mele: The Hawaiian Music Experience” runs twice weekly at the Maui Ocean Center’s Sphere Theater in Mā‘alaea. Tickets include preshow appetizers and soft drinks at the Seascape Restaurant. For visitors, it’s a rare chance to experience Hawaiian music and culture in an innovative format found nowhere else. For locals, it’s an engaging new way to connect with the stories and sounds of home. Wherever you’re from, you’ll leave with renewed appreciation for Maui’s mele and stories.

Anything But Basic

Aloha Antonia’s line of adult and children’s tees, sweats, hats and bags brings a vibrant, 90s-and-2000s-inspired feel to everyday basics with neon florals and vintage hula girl prints. Originally from Minnesota, founder Antonia DeBernardi moved to Maui a decade ago. She works in high-end floral design for weddings and events, but wanted to start a small business inspired by her island life. “I created this brand to reflect me and my style. Bright colors, punchy prints, puff fonts and easy to wear,” she says. “I wanted to create clothes that a visitor could take home, and it reminds them of how special Hawai‘i is.” The line’s pieces are made from 100% US-grown, ring-spun cotton, making them soft and wearable, from the beach to the airplane. DeBernardi partnered with a close friend and creative designer to start the brand, and tapped an O‘ahu-based graphic designer to help with the prints, fonts and logos. “My inspiration comes from how Maui makes me feel on the inside: vibrant, creative, inspired and loved.” Aloha Antonia can be found on Maui at Bikini Market in Wailea, To and From Boutique in Waikapu and the Swell Life Shop in Ka‘anapali Shores. -IJfke Ridgley

Where the Wild Things Are

Noah Harders is the brainchild behind Waikapū Collective, a floral arrangement and installation company whipping up unique creations on the Valley Isle. He named his company after the town he has always called home on Maui. “Waikapū is my heart and soul, a place that flows with love, my safe space,” says Harders. In Waikapū, he is surrounded by nature, and it is the natural materials he finds — be it flora, shells, feathers or even trash on the beach — that have inspired him to create from a young age. During his more-than-a-decade-long floral career, Harders began to salvage the flowers that would otherwise be discarded after events to create his own incredibly intricate, surrealist installations and wearable art inspired by avant-garde fashion and the creative thoughts in his mind. “What if the birds could shape shift? What if the trees were covered in feathers? What if this abandoned building was filled with flowers and plants? What if there was a waterfall of amaranth coming down that mountain? Would it be crazy to collect all the dead mongoose and create a sculpture with their bones?” he muses. “That’s how my mind operates.” What began with Instagram fans excited by his work soon expanded to the art world taking note. Now, when he’s not working on Waikapū Collective, Harders continues to create his wild and wacky pieces for art museums, galleries, and — above all — himself. -IJfke Ridgley

HOUSE OF MANA UP

Visit the home for Hawai‘i’s most inspiring brands.

story KRYSTAL KAKIMOTO

Located at the Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows in Lahaina, the new Maui location of House of Mana Up provides more than just shopping. It celebrates Hawai‘i’s rich culture, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. As part of the Hawai‘i-based accelerator program, this carefully curated store features locally made products from some of the island’s most innovative artisans, allowing visitors to connect with the stores and the creators behind each item. The Maui store offers a range of artisan foods, sustainable fashion and unique home goods, inviting guests to experience the spirit of modern Hawai‘i through a diverse selection and purposeful shopping.

Founded by Meli James and Brittany Heyd, Mana Up is a six-month intensive accelerator program designed to help Hawai‘i-based product companies scale globally while generating meaningful economic opportunities in the islands. Each cohort brings together around 10 local brands in categories such as food, beauty, home goods and fashion that already have established revenue levels. Through curated workshops, executive mentorship, resources and sales opportunities, the program helps elevate each brand and its infrastructure, amplifying its stories to a larger audience. Since its inception, Mana Up has supported 105 companies, generating $105 million in revenue among its graduates.

To provide a platform for cohort members and alumni, the organization established marketplaces on the islands of O‘ahu at the South Shore Market in Kaka‘ako and in Hawai‘i at the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort and the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Its newest marketplace, located at the Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows, opened in May 2025. Situated in the resort’s lobby, guests can shop for locally made products while also enjoying a variety of experiences in the store. These include meeting Hawai‘i-based makers, watching live product demonstrations and attending product launches. The interactive experiences offered by the House

of Mana Up storefronts provide a unique way to engage with local rising talent.

One standout brand featured on the shelves of House of Mana Up is HI Spice, a small-batch craft hot sauce company grown and inspired on Maui. Founded by husband-and-wife team Justin and Katie Orr, HI Spice began as a backyard hobby when the couple discovered their knack for growing chili peppers in their garden. Finding themselves uninspired by typical hot sauce offerings at restaurants and with a surplus of chili peppers at home, they started crafting sauces, blending their chili peppers with island fruits and vegetables. Today, HI Spice is known for its bold, locally rooted creations, such as Dragon Fruit Hot Sauce and Sriracha Kiawe Hot Sauce.

Although the company was founded in 2016, it was their participation in the Mana Up program that allowed them to elevate their operations. “We were looking at ways to expand distribution in Hawai‘i,” says Justin. “Our website was rudimentary, and through Mana Up, we were able to connect with Shopify and transform our direct-to-consumer business. We were also looking to shore up our message because we know what makes our company awesome, fun and spicy, but conveying that message can be difficult, so Mana Up was able to help us galvanize the message we were trying to share.”

For Justin, attending the weekly workshops on O‘ahu was incredibly valuable, offering insights and support that helped shape HI Spice, even though the frequent flights made it a challenge to attend. “It was daunting because you have to figure out how to fly out from Maui every week, which takes you away from production. But it worked out and taught me that if you need to get something done, you just need to figure out a way to make things happen.” With nothing but positive things to say about his time in the Mana Up program, Justin calls the experience a game-changer for small businesses. He credits the program with

helping HI Spice expand his business, but, more than anything, he says he is most thankful for the community and meaningful connections he gained along the way. “Being part of the group of entrepreneurs who have graduated from Mana Up creates a network of people you can turn to. We are all like-minded individuals, similar in age and position within our company, who understand what you are going through [and] the trials and tribulations of running a small business. You can turn to these people if you have a question or need to reach out to someone.”

Mana Up has also played a transformative role in Janice Leilani LaFontaine’s journey, who launched Farm to Fudge Maui in 2023. Driven by her journey to overcome an autoimmune disease, Janice founded her company to turn healing into indulgence. After discovering the power of food as medicine and eliminating gluten, dairy and processed additives, she reimagined treats with nutrient-dense, clean ingredients to create feel-good fudge that allows people with dietary restrictions to enjoy sweets without compromising health or flavor. Although she heard about the accelerator program soon after moving to Maui, she hesitated to apply, believing she wouldn’t qualify. As fate would have it, Janice was discovered at a women’s entrepreneurial conference. “My table host got samples of what I brought and shared them with the Mana Up crew. They interviewed me on the spot and, in a few days, I had an interview for the program followed by an offer to join that cohort,” she recalls.

While Janice describes her time in the Mana Up program as intense, she also calls it an incredible and rewarding experience. “I was not even a year into my business, never launched a food product, but they saw the potential in the product [and] got to know me and my story. They provided me with the support to get going and offered my product huge exposure and awareness.” She also recalls how much she learned from the workshops and guest speakers, gaining insights that helped her grow personally and professionally throughout the program. “The workshops helped expand my understanding of how business works. And being able to visit the governor’s office to learn how government and business intersect, as well as how we can advocate for change in our industries, was huge. The workshops help educate and help build well-rounded business owners,” she says.

At House of Mana Up, every purchase helps support locally owned businesses and the creatives behind them, fostering economic growth and sustainability throughout the islands. By highlighting Hawai‘i-made products, the House of Mana Up not only provides space for authentic, high-quality goods but also strengthens the community and nurtures the entrepreneurial spirit of Hawai‘i.

DESTINATION KĪHEI

Once a favored vacation spot for ali‘i (Hawaiian royalty), Kīhei offers a variety of activities that make it an ideal destination for a day of fun. From swimming in its crystal-clear waters, snorkeling with tropical fish, shopping at local boutiques or enjoying a delicious meal at one of its many restaurants, Kīhei offers something for everyone.

Begin your day with an early morning stroll along the Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge boardwalk. Constructed in 2009, the .08-mile-long path leads visitors through a wildlife sanctuary that is home to many species of native and endemic birds, including the Ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt) and ‘Alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot), both listed on endangered species lists. The boardwalk is situated within a wildlife refuge established in 1992 to protect the habitat of endangered wetland birds and now encompasses 700 acres of land. Winding through wetlands and coastal shrubland, the path offers tranquil views of the surrounding landscape and the West Maui mountains, making it a wonderful way to unplug from daily life. Along the way, interpretive signs with illustrations are available to help visitors on a selfguided tour, providing information about the area and the animals in the vicinity.

To reach the start of the boardwalk, drive south along Highway 310 (North Kīhei Road), which runs parallel to the beach. As you near the 1.5-mile mark, look toward the sea, and you will see the boardwalk itself. Drive a little further, and you will arrive at a small, paved parking lot on the right side of the road. After parking your vehicle, just a few steps will take you to the start of the well-maintained, wheelchairaccessible path.

After soaking in the peaceful sights and sounds of the Keālia boardwalk, it is the perfect time to grab a cup of coffee. Just a short, ten-minute drive south along South Kīhei Road will bring you to Akamai Coffee, which proudly brews 100% Maui-grown coffee. Their roasters spend time fine-tuning each batch to bring out the unique, nuanced flavors of each harvest. Whether you are in the mood for a steaming cup of hot coffee, a smooth latte or a rich caffe mocha, every option promises a satisfying experience that caters to different tastes and cravings. Akamai Coffee also offers two types of cold brew, including a 24hour cold brew served on ice and the N.O.L.A. New Orleans-style cold brew crafted from chicory, served sweetened with milk and ice. Another highlight on the menu is the Akamai Signatures, which feature delicious lattes like The Hawaiian Honeybee flavored with coconut, vanilla and honey, and the Road to Hana with hints of chocolate, macadamia nuts and

toffee nut. To complement your coffee, you can also choose from their breakfast options, including Belgian waffles, yogurt topped with granola and Huevos Rancheros.

Another excellent breakfast option, located just minutes from Akamai Coffee, is Kihei Caffe. This beloved roadside eatery has been voted “best breakfast in Kīhei” multiple times and is known for its tasty local grinds and service with aloha. A popular item on the menu is the Loco Moco, an island favorite, which begins with a choice of a half-pound Black Angus beef patty, kalua pork or SPAM, served on steamed white rice, topped with two eggs cooked in any style and a rich, savory brown gravy. From classic breakfasts like Southern Biscuits and Gravy or French Toast to House Specials like The Surfer Dude Sandwich, which includes two eggs, three pieces of bacon, avocado and cheddar cheese on a Brioche bun, breakfast at Kihei Caffe is perfect for refueling because they combine hearty portions with delicious ingredients. For those wanting something lighter, there is a section of the menu dedicated to their

Lighter Fare options, including papaya bowls with Mueslix, chia seed pudding topped with toasted sweet coconut, almonds and berries or bagels with lox. With its laid-back atmosphere and the scent of the salty sea drifting in from across the street, breakfast at Kihei Caffe is a perfect spot to regroup and recharge.

If you are in the mood for a cozy, charming café experience, then you might want to head a little further down the road to Kalia Café, located just a short five-minute drive from Kihei Caffe. With its bright, airy atmosphere, the café is the ideal spot to relax with a warm chai or matcha latte, complete with adorable latte art. Another menu highlight is the refreshing house drinks, including Hibiscus Lychee Tea and Mango Black Tea, both sweetened with puréed fresh fruits. One unique offering is the Maui Mud Pie cold brew, which begins with a 48hour Chocolate Macadamia Nut cold brew. A splash

of cream is added before it is sweetened with cane sugar and served in a cup adorned with a wall of chocolate sauce. Breakfast burritos and bagel sandwiches are also available on the breakfast menu, along with signature sandwiches like the Bacon Cristo French toast sandwich, loaded with bacon, eggs and cheddar. Rounding out the menu are a selection of beef, chicken or pork sausage empanadas, which make a great breakfast item, especially when you are looking for something you can enjoy on the go.

After breakfast, take a short stroll or car ride across the street to soak in the natural beauty and delight in the variety of recreational activities at Kama‘ole Beach Park II. Affectionately known as “Kam” by locals, this park is part of a picturesque series of beaches that line Maui’s southern coast. While Kama‘ole I is the busiest and Kama‘ole III is known for its expansive open spaces, Kama‘ole II strikes the perfect balance between the two. With its calm, inviting waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, along with its lush grassy areas perfect

for relaxation, Kama‘ole II offers a peaceful, almost hidden retreat, all while providing easy access to amenities.

To get to this beach, head just a few minutes south along South Kīhei Road, and you will see the beach appear just after the final apartment building on the right-hand side. For convenient access, look for curbside parking along this stretch of the road. Here, you will find the lifeguard station along with restrooms, showers, picnic tables and barbecue areas. For those eager to hop in the water, Kama‘ole II offers a vibrant underwater world that is hard to beat, including spotting uhu (parrotfish), raccoon butterflyfish and honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles). For those more inclined to sunbathe, the area provides the perfect setting for resting on the golden sand and offering views of Molokini, Lāna‘i and Kaho‘olawe right from the comfort of your beach chair or towel.

After a few hours soaking up the sun and savoring your time at Kama‘ole II, head back north along South Kīhei Road to find the Kihei Food Oasis

located at South Maui Gardens. Located just a block off the main road, the Kihei Food Oasis can feel like a mini food adventure due to its diverse lineup of food trucks, offering a range of savory to sweet options. Whether you are in the mood for artisan pizzas from Blue Door Bread & Pizza Company, delicate soup dumplings from SŌKAI or a playful twist on traditional Japanese bento from KITOKO, the food trucks at the Kihei Food Oasis have something to satisfy every appetite. Voted “Best Food Pod on Maui,” it is the perfect spot to slow down and savor your meal without the rush. The easygoing atmosphere and spacious seating make it easy to unwind and thoroughly appreciate the flavors of Maui.

Located just a few blocks north of Maui Food Oasis is Cool Cat Café, Kīhei’s new burger joint known for its lengthy menu, which includes worldclass burgers, hand-made shakes, ice-cold beer and more. Inspired by the charm of the 1950s and built on the love of cooking, community and the mantra “real food, real people,” Cool Cat Café has built

a following of fans who appreciate its delicious food, fun atmosphere and family-friendly vibe. Start your meal with shared plates like Hula Stick chicken tenders served with a sweet Hawaiian sauce, garlic bread or a basket of sweet potato fries. Dive into their legendary burgers, which are handmade 6.5 oz. 100% Angus Beef seasoned with their special blend of spices and served on a freshly baked bun. From The Duke, featuring two strips of bacon, melted cheese, golden onion rings and barbecue sauce, to the La Bamba Burger, smothered with their spicy homemade chili and topped with cheddar and jack cheese and sweet Maui onions, their burgers combine bold flavors for an unforgettable, satisfying bite. They also offer 100% beef hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, entrées like baby back ribs or freshly caught fish, and vegetarian options such as the Dream Lover Burger, a veggie burger served with Ortega chili peppers and jack cheese. End your meal on a sweet note by indulging in one of their milkshakes or classic desserts like brownie sundaes and banana splits.

Another great dinner spot is Black Rock Pizza, just a few minutes from Aloha Kihei Fish House. This popular neighborhood pizzeria is known for its top-quality, huge pizzas served in a familyfriendly setting.

HEALING HERD

A gentle day in the heart of Upcountry at Maui Alpaca Farm

story KRYSTAL KAKIMOTO

images RACHEL OLSSON

Days begin early for Janet Baldwin, owner and operator of Maui Alpaca Farm. “I get up at 4:30 every morning and am out the door by 6 a.m. to check on my animals, [to] make sure they are okay [and] no one has their head stuck in a fence or is sick.” Her busy day continues with a constant flow of responsibilities, including tending to her vegetable crops, answering phone calls, restocking store shelves and greeting groups of guests who visit her daily. Despite the nonstop nature of her work, she radiates joy when speaking about her animals and farm, creating an atmosphere that feels like a heartfelt invitation for guests to connect with the animals and space she has cultivated and to feel the restorative spirit of this one-of-a-kind sanctuary.

Born and raised in San Jose, California, Baldwin arrived in the islands forty years ago on a one-way ticket, not knowing anyone or where she would stay. “I felt a calling to come to the islands and fell in love with Hawai‘i from the moment I saw my first plumeria, saw the ocean and smelled the salty sea breeze,” she recalls. During the coming decades, she met her husband and had two daughters while running a retreat on the family’s agricultural lands. This came to a halt when Maui County officials visited and told Baldwin that the land was not zoned to run retreats. She had an idea to adopt an alpaca and offer yoga and meditation during her retreats, but quickly learned that because alpacas are herd animals, you could not have just one.

Serendipitously, in 2020, Baldwin saw a notice for a woman selling three female alpacas in Kula, and she jumped on the opportunity. Despite being an animal lover, Baldwin had no prior experience or knowledge of raising alpacas, with the first few days bringing both highs and lows. “The first morning, I went outside to greet them, and I thought they had all died overnight because they were lying flat on the ground. Then, one of them stuck their head up, and I knew they were okay. That is how much I knew about alpacas,” Baldwin recalls. After learning more about her new herd, she signed up for a class to learn about working with fleece and knitting, quickly becoming immersed in the world of fiber arts. “I

was 100% in and quickly sold my retreat business. I traveled to the mainland to buy more alpacas because my original three did not have good fleece and could not get pregnant.”

Over the past five years, Baldwin’s farm has grown from her original three alpacas to thirteen who live together in a family-centered herd. During this time, she has also incorporated angora rabbits, another fiber animal, to her farm. As word spread about Baldwin’s unique farm, more people reached out simply wanting to see the animals, spend quiet moments with them and experience their sweet, calming presence. These gentle interactions naturally evolved into the guided farm experiences and educational opportunities that Baldwin and her team offer.

The most popular experience offered is the Maui Alpaca Farm Visit, which is open to guests of all ages. During this one-hour experience, guests are led through the farm to meet and feed the alpacas in their pasture as well as take photos. Baldwin also incorporates education within this experience by showing how she uses a spinning wheel to process the alpaca fleece before the group heads to the Angora bunny village to pet the soft, sweet bunnies.

Also offered for guests of all ages is the Maui Alpaca Paniolo Picnic, which spans 1.5 hours. During this unique experience, guests can enjoy a picnic-style lunch in the alpaca pasture as alpacas walk right up for treats and snacks. As you spend time in the pasture, it can quickly become clear that no two alpacas are alike in personality. “There is always a leader of the group, a shy one [and] a mischievous one,” says Baldwin. “There is also a watcher. Kala, one of my females, always knows where I am, even if I try to sneak up on the herd.”

For guests 12 years and up, Baldwin offers the Maui Alpaca Trek, where she leads small groups for scenic strolls along the slopes of Mt. Haleakalā. During this 1.5-hour-long experience, guests are accompanied by an alpaca companion who keeps pace with them along the trail. This experience is ideal for those looking to slow down and savor the tranquility of Upcountry, Maui. With its relaxed pace and small group setting, guests can truly connect with nature and the animals. After feeding the alpacas and snapping a few photos, the group then heads to the Angora bunny village for an opportunity to snuggle the soft creatures and learn about how their fleece is converted to yarn and then clothing.

Blending Baldwin’s love for animals and fiber arts, she also offers the Maui Alpaca Lifestyle Adventure, which is an immersive, two-hour experience that takes guests on an educational journey as fleece is transformed into clothing. “It is interesting that people do not know, especially kids, that you can shear an animal, process their fleece and create garments. I think we lost this art along the way, especially since you can easily go to the store and purchase things. I like to teach the old ways of processing and creating things,” says Baldwin.

During the five years since opening her farm, she has learned a lot, both about alpacas and life. “When I offered my retreat business, it was helping people work through their problems and process deep emotions for healing. It is similar to the alpacas because they offer a healing aspect, but there is a lightness with them. After spending time on the farm with the alpacas and the bunnies, people cannot help but leave feeling a little better,” she says. “I think what I love the most about the alpacas is their strong family ties. For me, in this part of my life, family and friends are important. I have been working since I was sixteen years old, and for so many years, that was my focus. Now, I am focusing on my family and friends and creating with my fiber arts. Spinning, knitting and making things have become my daily practice.”

Looking ahead, Baldwin’s vision extends beyond her farm into the wider community. She hopes to launch local 4-H shows focused on alpacas, complete with certified judges, to create educational opportunities for youth and foster deeper connections between people and animals. Her goal is to offer a supportive, handson environment where kids can learn, grow and be inspired. “It is really about giving back,” she shares. “I am always thinking about what I can do to support the community and help the next generation.”

HOMESTEAD HARVEST

A farm-to-table dinner above the clouds

story + images VIOLA GASKELL

On the slopes of Haleakalā, Brittney Gurrieri bakes organic sourdough bread in her kitchen at what was until recently, Maui Bees Farm. In July, Gurrieri, who had already been baking her bread at Maui Bees for some time, took over the farm, country store and kitchen, with the help of Beau Kissler, who runs the farm’s coffee program and makes its ferments: jun (honey-based kombucha), krauts, kimchi and more. The farm store now carries an array of their combined talents: artisanal loaves, cultured drinks and sauces, fresh produce from the garden and Maui Bees honey. The café offers a daily toast menu that Gurrieri is working on expanding to include sweet and savory farm croissants filled with produce from the property.

“I love it, and I’ve put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into being up all night for years.”

A sandwich-based lunch menu is in the works too. Most recently, the pair began adapting Maui Bees’ (now Homestead) farm-to-table dinners, a seven course progressive dinner by chef Katarina Tulemoso. The transition is not the end of Maui Bees as Leah Damon, longtime beekeeper and owner, will maintain her ten hives on the property and another 90 in Makawao Forest, while her honey will continue to enliven the cultures of Kissler’s delicious jun.

In 2019, just before the Covid-induced breadbaking craze, Gurrieri, an aspiring homesteader, decided to learn to bake bread. Damon, who lived next door, gave Gurrieri a jar of sourdough starter, and Gurrieri took to Youtube to learn to make slow fermentation small batch sourdough. After many iterations, Gurrieri landed on a 24-hour-fermentation method, using organic flour from California — she hopes to mill her own flour within the next year. Each boule (round loaf) is scored with her signature leaf print and baked in its own cast iron dutch oven, which traps the steam from the loaf, slowing the hardening of the crust and allowing the bread to rise fully within. At first, Gurrieri baked for family and friends, but wider demand quickly became apparent, and soon she was baking 200 loaves a week. Homestead Bakery became a fixture of the Kula and Wailea farmers markets, as well as local health food stores like Mana Foods and Down to Earth, and in hotels like the Grand Wailea’s Loulu and Botero Lounge. She also started a subscription service, offering a bimonthly lot of impressively fluffy sourdough

English muffins, weekly sandwich bread and a weekly flavored boule.

Gurrieri plans to fill the garden with crops that she can incorporate into her baking. Already, she’s used purple carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and butterfly pea from the garden to make her colorful flavored loaves. She says in the past six years, Homestead Bakery has taken on a life of its own, “just like a starter,” Kissler points out. “It’s bigger than me, and anything I could have imagined,” Gurrieri says. “I love it, and I’ve put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into being up all night for years,” she says.

With the Maui Bees to Homestead Bakery transition, Gurrieri’s hard work has come full circle. In July, she moved onto the farmstead with her three children, and is now leasing the farm and working toward ownership. She hopes to open the property up to the community even more, starting with weekly work days where volunteers spend two hours helping out in the garden, then share lunch and take home a loaf of bread. There has already been a lot of interest: “people just want to get in the garden!” she says. She also plans to start a kids’ club and an adult homesteading club, where people who are similarly interested in living off the land meet up to create things asynchronously. “This has been my dream for ten years,” says Gurrieri, who will now finally be homesteading — living here off the land where she has been baking her bread for years, growing her own food and raising animals. Kissler hopes to move onto the property with his wife and daughter soon.

The farm-to-table dinner is an extension of Gurrieri’s homesteading dream realized. The experience begins with a brief farm tour, starting in the bee museum, where Kissler displays a live beehive (safely enclosed behind a clear panel) and explains how to spot the queen amid thousands of buzzing bees. Next we walk through the farm’s vibrant biodynamic garden, teeming with verdant greens like swiss chard, kale and kalo along with blossoming flowers such as rose, snap dragon and echinacea — many with bees atop them. Then, we visit the animals: Ruby the cow, who is part of a cow share, allowing members to collect her organic A2 milk, and a few friendly goats. Any food scraps from dinner are given to Ruby and the others. Below the animal pasture, a cluster of trees, including cinnamon, grows. I crush a leaf in my fingers and breathe in the sweet, warm aroma as Kissler explains that he uses the leaves to make his luscious cinnamon ice cream — his wife’s recipe. We finish the tour at a long, picturesque, dahlia-adorned picnic table beside the garden, where we take our seats and begin to get to know our neighbors.

The first course is a delicate crostini made with Gurrieri’s rosemary focaccia, goat cheese from Haleakala Creamery just down the road, caramelized starfruit, lavender honey, microgreens and toasted macadamia nuts. The dish is a delectable introduction to the mixture of bold and subtle flavors that the dinner showcases. Most of the ingredients are sourced within a three mile radius of the farm, except for the line-caught ono (the farm is about 2,500 feet above sea level), which comes from the farmers market. Chef Tualemoso, who is of German and Samoan descent, utilizes the full flavors of her background to craft the seasonal menu. Kissler’s ferments make frequent appearances and local ingredients like kalo, coconut and sweet potato are highlighted alongside less tropical farm-fresh ingredients, including sorrel and Kula blackberries, given the farm’s high

elevation. Tonight, Tualemoso pairs her coffee and cacao-rubbed Maui Nui venison sirloin with gingered rainbow chard, carrot, cultured mustard and a raspberry gastrique. The ono is plated atop taro mash drizzled with a coconut, roasted fennel sauce and garnished with beet kraut. Just before the ono course, we are led to the deck of Gurrieri’s home, where we take our seats with a renewed sunset view. By the time desert is served — spiced banana cake with vanilla cinnamon ice cream and pumpkin spice sauce — the stars are out.

STILLWELL’S BAKERY AND CAFÉ

Founded in 1994 by Roy and Louise Stillwell, Stillwell’s Bakery and Café in Wailuku has become an island institution celebrated for its artisanal pastries and warm island hospitality. While their chocolate-glazed eclairs, fresh fruit tarts and silky liliko‘i cheesecakes are all equally divine, customers often visit the bakery for a chance to sample their signature cream horns. Each horn is made with delicate layers of buttery puff pastry, baked to crisp perfection, then generously filled with Stillwell’s pastry cream. The edges of the pastry are dipped in milk chocolate before being generously dusted with powdered sugar, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that locals and visitors return for repeatedly. Available in mini and large sizes, it is common to see people line up early in the day to get their hands on a decadent cream horn or leave with a box full of these famous pastries to share with family or friends.

TASAKA GURI GURI

Tasaka Guri Guri’s story began in Japan in the early 1900s when Jokichi Tasaka invented a refreshing frozen confection he called “Goodie Goodie.” When his son, Gunji, migrated to the United States, he brought the family recipe with him. However, he realized the name was difficult for older Japanese people to pronounce, so he renamed the treat “Guri Guri.” Now over 100 years in business, Tasaka Guri Guri remains a cherished part of island life. People of all ages are lining up to enjoy the smooth, creamy cross between sherbet and ice cream, available in two flavors of strawberry and pineapple. Since 2000, Gunji’s daughters, Gail and Cindy, have run the shop, honoring their family tradition while starting a sweet tradition of their own with the introduction of flavors of the month, such as coffee and lychee. Simple, nostalgic and unmistakably local, Tasaka Guri Guri is more than just a dessert; it is a taste of Maui history.

Tasaka Guri Guri; 70 East Ka‘ahumanu Avenue, C13, Kahului; (808) 871-4513; Open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; @ tasakaguriguri on Instagram.

AUNTY SANDY’S BANANA BREAD

Located on the picturesque peninsula of Ke‘anae, Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread offers slices of warmth and nostalgia with every bite. Opened in 1983 by Sandy Hueu, this humble bakery has been an essential stop along the winding, scenic drive to Hāna. Known for its hot, fresh banana bread, Aunty Sandy’s treats are dense, aromatic and bursting with flavor, making the challenging journey well worth the effort.

KOMODA STORE AND BAKERY

Located in the heart of Makawao, Komoda Store and Bakery is a time capsule of Maui’s plantation-era charm and home to some of the island’s most iconic sweets. Established in 1916 by Takezo and Shigeri Komoda, the shop initially operated as a humble restaurant serving saimin (Japanese egg noodle soup), fresh-baked bread and donuts. The bakery’s legacy deepened when the couple’s son returned from serving in World War II and attending baking school in Minnesota under the GI Bill, bringing home techniques that have transformed the bakery’s offerings to this day. Now run by Takezo’s granddaughter, Betty, and her husband, Calvin Shibuya, the shop continues to offer its famous donuts on a stick, served with five plump donuts dunked in a sweet, glossy glaze, just as locals remember from their childhood. With its worn-in feel and shelves lined with goods, Komoda Store and Bakery has the unmistakable rhythm of a mom-and-pop shop that does not try to keep up with the trends. And when they sell out, as they often do, that is it. The doors close and the ovens rest until the next morning when the couple returns to start baking for a new day.

Komoda Store and Bakery; 3674 Baldwin Avenue, Makawao; (808) 572-7261; Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Embracing Aloha

In early 2025, Chef Chris Cosentino, together with the visionary husbandand-wife team David and Alicia Soboda, launched KOAST, an innovative and inspiring new dining spot in Wailea Village. At KOAST, guests are invited to indulge their appetites with dishes that combine local ingredients with international culinary traditions. With years of kitchen experience, Chef Cosentino applies his expertise in whole animal cooking to this exciting partnership, creating an experience where traditional techniques meet the vibrant, fresh flavors of Hawai‘i in every bite.

story KRYSTAL KAKIMOTO images RACHEL OLSSON

Thinking back to your childhood, what kind of place did food or cooking hold in your home? It’s always special to remember those moments and how they brought everyone together. Growing up on Aquidneck Island in Rhode Island, I had a very distinct childhood because of my half-Italian, half-English background. I was surrounded by unique cuisines — my grandmother Helen would cook very traditional English or New England dishes. We would dig quahogs or catch bluefish, have clam bakes and eat lobster rolls, while the other half of my family was Italian, and we had very traditional Italian dishes like handmade pastas, and we canned tomatoes.

What kind of jobs did you have before you started culinary school?

My first real job was working as a dishwasher at IHOP. Before school, I had always been around kitchens in some way. From spending the summer commercial fishing —repairing fishing nets and baiting lobster pots —or working in the cafeteria at Salve Regina College, I was always in a kitchen or around food.

Why do you think whole animal cooking matters in today’s culinary world, and how does it influence your approach to sustainability and respect for ingredients? It is something that I have always spoken loudly about because it makes no sense to me that people are throwing away valuable and delicious parts because they only value certain cuts of meat. And it is not just cattle, pigs or chickens; it is the same with fish and even produce. When you get leeks, what do you do with the tops? With radishes, do you eat the greens? Take leeks, when you eat the top, they have chlorophyll, and that tastes different from the base of the leeks, which are white. Radishes are spicy and juicy, and the leaves are peppery like arugula. For me, whole animal cooking is about the bigger picture. It is based on sustainability and respect

for the animal and the people who raised or caught it. It’s like giving a painter only black and white paint, but then they start to have access to different colors, and they start mixing the paints, making a whole slew of new colors. It’s like that with the textures and flavors of offal. They still have the underlying flavor of the animal, but there’s more depth and richness in some of the offal cuts. I believe that if you are going to harvest an animal, you should be willing to use most of it, as food is a precious commodity. When we become thoughtless in our approach to food, we create too much waste.

How do you introduce whole animal cooking to a guest who might not be familiar with that style of cooking?

Most of the population eats whole animal style, but they just may not be aware of it or acknowledge it. People eat hot dogs, sausages and pâté. When we showcase different cuts of meat that people are not familiar with, it can be intimidating. To make guests feel more comfortable, I pair the familiar with the unfamiliar, such as mixing fried pig’s ears with calamari. I also like to prepare offal cuts as an appetizer or a first course. It’s a smaller portion, which might encourage people to try something to share rather than ordering a whole entrée. I also build trust with guests and regulars, and they end up looking for this style of cooking from me, with an expectation that they can trust what I am going to do. They know it’s going to be delicious. My goal is to always give guests the best experience and break the taboos and fears guests may have with food.

For guests new to KOAST, how would you describe the dishes they can expect to see on the menu?

For me, it is about celebrating what is already on Maui. My goal is to work with as many local farmers, fisherpeople and ranchers as possible, and give them the respect they deserve by

treating their products in the best way possible. With KOAST’s menu, I focused on trade routes and the people and cultures that have been a part of Hawai‘i’s history, using the foods as inspiration for dishes while highlighting the island’s diverse ingredients.

How do you approach sourcing local ingredients?

There are a couple of different ways. When I first came out to Maui, we visited some farmers markets, saw what people had and talked with folks. Then, Leanne Wong introduced me to numerous farmers and ranchers, which helped me connect the dots. I also met the folks at Surfing Goat Dairy, which has been on the menu since day one, and they have been an absolute joy to work with. With fisherpeople, it happened in a few ways. First, we were introduced to Chimo, who calls us from the boat on his way back to let us know what he caught. I was also biking on the West Maui Loop when I saw a delivery to another restaurant in Kīhei with a bunch of mahi tails and tuna tails hanging out of the back of a gigantic ice chest. I pulled over and met Uncle Kock, and that has been a great relationship because we’ve seen everything from mahi to ‘ōpakapaka to tuna.

Looking to the future, what are some goals you have for KOAST in the coming years?

The biggest thing for us is to be a part of the community. To create the type of environment that people want to come back to, whether to have a snack, dinner or a celebration. We aim to connect with the community, foster relationships and develop this process further using the island’s resources.

If you could share a piece of advice with a young chef who aspires to own their own restaurant one day, what would it be?

I think it is important to work your way up and not rush the process. I would recommend that they work with other chefs to help them open their restaurants and gain a better

understanding of the process. Before I owned my first restaurant, I opened about six restaurants as a sous chef or line cook. I saw their trials and tribulations. As my career progressed, I gained a deeper understanding of the details, including how the restaurant was designed, built and the processes involved, such as permitting and credit applications. Those things are not taught to young cooks. As a cook, your focus is on learning to cook, not on reading a profit and loss statement or how to look at food cost or labor costs. Owning a restaurant is more than just cooking.

What are some ingredients that you will always have in your home kitchen?

I always have Red Boat Fish Sauce and Jacobsen sea salt.

If you had a superpower to use in the kitchen, what would it be?

It would be great to have eyes in the back of my head and another pair of hands so I could cook and plate at the same time.

What would an ideal day off look like to you? My days usually start with coffee, an espresso with my wife Tatiana. We listen to KEXP in the morning. Then, I go for a bike ride. I probably have some noodles afterward. Pet my dog. Make dinner. Nothing too crazy, keep it simple.

Chef Cosentino’s partnership at KOAST marks an exciting chapter in Hawai‘i’s evolving food scene. With its seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience and deep connection to place, KOAST reflects a shared vision of hospitality that embraces both innovation and aloha. Through his commitment to local sourcing, he reminds us that food is not just sustenance but also a bridge to the land, community and culture that surrounds it.

Culinary Journey

Wailea’s Spoon & Key Market has quickly become one of Maui’s hottest dining destinations — and its prix fixe dinners are at the heart of the buzz. Offered Wednesday through Saturday evenings alongside à la carte options, the experience is a creative collaboration between Chefs Kulis and Principato, blending farm-to-table philosophies with global flavors — from French and Japanese to Hawaiian, Latin and Italian inspirations.

Each seasonally driven menu is designed to tell a story of Maui’s land and sea. Think caviar sets with house-made accompaniments, farm-fresh plates sourced from Oko‘a and Lapa‘au Farms, open-fire dry-aged steaks and crudos layered with Hawaiian, Japanese and Latin influences — like soursop leche de tigre or dragon fruit ponzu. When local fishermen deliver the day’s catch, it becomes the star; when they don’t, sustainably raised Hawaiian

kanpachi or ahi from La‘akea Fish Company ensures the flavors stay true to the islands. Set in a reimagined Wailea Village space with treehouse-like seating and sweeping Pacific views, Spoon & Key pairs fine-dining artistry with a relaxed Maui vibe. With limited seating, reservations via OpenTable are recommended for this intimate, casually elegant experience — perfect for sunset evenings, private celebrations or anyone seeking a taste of Maui’s cultural and culinary soul.

Spoon & Key Market; 108 Wailea Ike Drive, Suite 1201, Wailea; (808) 879-2433; spoonandkey.com; Prix Fixe dinner served aside a la carte options on Wednesday - Saturday evenings from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Open daily for breakfast and lunch from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Heritage Renewed

Reopening in October 2025, Kō Restaurant at the Fairmont Kea Lani begins a new, exciting chapter. As the resort’s signature dining spot, Kō has long celebrated Hawai‘i’s plantation history, a legacy started by the late Chef Tylun Pang. His vision united the diverse flavors and cultures of the islands, creating dishes that told Hawai‘i’s story through food. Now, Executive Chef Matt Dela Cruz, a native of Waimea — a small plantation town on Kaua‘i — leads Kō into its next stage. A third-generation child of the plantations with Hawaiian, Japanese and Filipino roots, Chef Dela Cruz brings a profound respect for the restaurant’s heritage along with a fresh, personal view. With decades of experience

working in kitchens across Hawai‘i, he offers his own take on “elevated comfort,” combining refined techniques with familiar flavors of local home cooking. The result is dishes that blend nostalgia with innovation. Throughout all these changes, the restaurant stays dedicated to partnering with Maui’s farmers, ranchers, fishermen and food producers, giving guests a genuine taste of place with dishes that layer authenticity, memory and aloha spirit.

Chef’s Table

Hotel Wailea, Maui’s only adults-only Relais & Châteaux escape, has recently introduced an exciting dining experience called The Chef’s Table. The luxury boutique hotel has unveiled its custom Hestan kitchen — renovated in a French Laundry style to allow guests to watch the chefs in action — offering an interactive, unique dinner experience. Guests dine in the kitchen for a front-row view of the culinary team, where they are served a specially curated five-course menu prepared by culinary director Chef John Taube IV and Sous Chef Conor Repogle Jr. Relais & Châteaux properties emphasize local ingredient sourcing and sustainability, and this Hotel Wailea experience follows suit. The hotel collaborates with local farmers and fishermen for the freshest ingredients directly from the island to create a seasonal, evolving menu. Recent highlights

include dishes such as risotto with shimeji and maitake mushrooms and basil pistou; Onaga with Maine lobster, charred green onion and smoked trout roe; and A5 Snake River Farm ribeye with Kula carrot and black garlic. An optional wine or mocktail pairing can be added to enhance the dinner experience, showcasing the resort’s three expert sommeliers and the largest wine collection in the state. Groups of up to eight can reserve the Chef’s Garden Table for a dine-al-fresco experience on a private outdoor patio, or those seeking even more privacy can book the iconic treehouse for a seven-course meal with a private chef and server.

Fireside Feast

On a peninsula overlooking Namalu Bay, Kiawe Outdoor has set up a unique outdoor dining experience in partnership with Montage Kapalua Bay, where guests dine on ‘ulu gnocchi with truffle and smoked Tomahawk ribeye while watching the sunset. This is just one of the Maui-based event company’s luxury pop-ups and private events to grace the islands. Husbandand-wife owners Yeshua and Trisha Goodman started Kiawe Outdoor in 2016 as a fun way to host dinners for friends, and it has expanded to a full-fledged immersive dining experience. Yeshua, a chef and sommelier who grew up on Maui, sources ingredients from local farmers, fishermen and ranchers for his seasonal menus that are prepared over an open fire, while

Trisha ensures that the event is memorable and atmospheric with beautiful lighting and tablescapes. The duo hopes to capture the magic of “ancestral dining,” where guests feast together outdoors on communal tables on food cooked over an open fire — no electricity. “The food is seasoned with the flavors of the earth, crackling fire and smoke,” Yeshua explains. “The experience is playful and interactive as we invite guests to enjoy bites from the fire and tap into something deep in our DNA that we didn’t know we needed until we experience it.” The result is simple, luxurious and absolutely unforgettable.

Maui Ocean Center is a must-do experience for visitors of all ages. Overlooking Mā‘alaea Bay, this indoor-outdoor facility is home to one of the world’s largest collections of living Pacific corals. While the aquarium’s mission for the past 27 years is to share the wonder and beauty of Hawai‘i’s native marine life, such as tropical fish and rays, they also educate on ocean conservation and Hawaiian culture, including a powerful exhibit on Kaho‘olawe. Maui Ocean Center inspires guests by bringing them below the water’s surface: Walk through a 54-foot-long underwater tunnel surrounded by manō (sharks); visit the Turtle Lagoon to observe Hawai‘i's cherished honu (green sea turtles); and take an immersive surround-sound journey with life-sized koholā (humpback whales) in their 3D Humpbacks of Hawai‘i Exhibit and Sphere Experience.

Known as the “House of the Sun,” this dormant volcano's apex is wrapped in the legends of demigod Māui, who is said to have ensnared the sun itself, gifting the world with prolonged daylight. The Haleakalā Visitor Center offers unparalleled sunrise views that paint the sky in a kaleidoscope of colors, a scene Mark Twain hailed as the "most sublime spectacle" imaginable. Extending beyond its famed dawns and dusks and spanning over 30,000 acres of extraordinary wilderness—from the otherworldly red deserts near its peak to the verdant waterfalls of its coastal reaches—Haleakalā National Park is a sanctuary of serenity and natural beauty, boasting trails and guided excursions that immerse visitors in its unique ecosystem, home to more endangered species than any other U.S. National Park.

With its beautiful white sand and views that aren’t obstructed by homes, condominiums and hotels, Mākena (“abundance” in Hawaiian) Beach State Park is the place to get away and relax. Divided into two beaches—Big Beach and Little Beach—only the natural landscape, ocean, and Molokini and Kaho‘olawe islands are in sight. Big Beach, also known as Oneloa (“long [stretch of] sand” in Hawaiian), often has high surf and a dangerous shore break, more suited for experienced swimmers and surfers, whereas Little Beach, with its small, gentle waves, is suitable for beginners. A short trail separates the two beaches, with lifeguards stationed at Big Beach. Little Beach has no lifeguard or amenities and has been known to be clothing optional.

Also known as La Pérouse Bay, after the French explorer Captain Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, this is a favorite beach for fishing and observing pods of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, who frequently rest in the calm bay during morning hours. To access La Pérouse, drive to the very end of Mākena Alanui Road at mile marker seven. A gravel parking lot is at the end of the road, which is where the path begins that leads you to the bay. No lifeguard on duty.

Kam III is also very popular with locals, so weekends and holidays can get busy.

This pristine bay, a popular destination for scuba diving, snorkeling and surfing is three miles north of Kapalua and about a 20-minute drive north of Lahaina. Designated a Marine Life Conservation District, there is no fishing allowed (or taking of any natural resources); therefore, there is an abundance of diverse sea life, including honu (green sea turtles), several reef fish varieties, vibrant coral formations and the occasional spinner dolphin. The beach with its rocky shoreline is not ideal for sunbathing, but the sheltered bay makes it a popular spot for snorkeling, and the bluffs offer spectacular views. Surfing lessons are available but if you’re on your own, be aware of wave conditions in winter. There are no amenities or lifeguard, but there are port-a-potties in the small parking lot on the highway.

A well-loved, popular spot for snorkeling, Olowalu Beach, also referred to as "Mile Marker 14" and Turtle Reef, is a quaint beach located about seven miles south of Lahaina on the Honoapi‘ilani Highway (Route 30), and known for its quiet, calm waves, unique coral system with over twenty-four species, and diverse wildlife, including a variety of fish, honu (green sea turtles), manta rays and black tip sharks. Protected from high trade winds, the waters at Olowalu tend to be calm, especially in the morning, and the shore waters are shallow, making it ideal for children. Attempting to snorkel at low tide is not recommended, though, especially during a full or new moon. When the tide is low, the reef becomes so shallow that it sticks out of the water, making it difficult to navigate. Make sure to time your visit around the high tide if you plan to snorkel. No facilites or lifeguard on duty.

This is a popular bodysurfing and bodyboarding spot in West Maui with a break attracting many visitors and locals. While surfers flock here for consistent waves, snorkelers can explore colorful marine life just offshore when the ocean is calm, as the shorebreak can be dangerous here, along with a strong undertow when the surf is up. The beach is lifeguarded daily during peak hours and includes amenities such as restrooms, showers and picnic tables.

Located on Hana Highway between the town of Pā‘ia and the Maui Country Club, Baldwin Beach is a popular North Shore beach for locals and visitors alike—and considered one of the best sites on Maui for bodysurfing and bodyboarding—but has protected swimming areas on the east (Baldwin Cove) and west (Baby Beach) ends. During the winter, strong shore breaks can make this beach precarious for inexperienced ocean swimmers and boogie-boarders, so be mindful of the conditions and make sure to check with the lifeguards before going into the water. For those interested in Hawaiian culture, there is a trail behind the beach connecting Baldwin Beach to Secret Beach and Pā‘ia Bay that leads to an ancient burial site. Lifeguards are on duty, and restrooms, showers, barbecues, picnic tables and a pavilion are available. The beach is typically very busy on weekends and holidays.

Located beyond the Hāna town limits on Pi‘ilani (31) Highway, this stunning crescentshaped beach is surrounded by cliffs and lined with native Hala trees, palm trees and various flora. Hāmoa is not protected by outlying reefs, which means powerful surf can be present but also makes it popular with surfers, boogie boarders and bodysurfers. It is recommended that snorkeling be done during the summer months when there are smaller swells, and the water is calmer. Facilities include public restrooms, showers and a foot washing station, but there are no lifeguards on duty. Parking is available on Haneo‘o Road but it’s on-street, the road is narrow, and the path down to the beach is very steep.

From the first live prime-time televised event in golf at the 1983 Kapalua International to the Kapalua LPGA classic some 25 years later, The Bay Course has consistently faced the best players in golf and withstood the test of time and technology. Great champions and stories have emerged here, such as Ian Woosnam and David Llwellyn’s thrilling victory for Wales in the World Cup of Golf and Morgan Pressel’s nail-biting win at the Kapalua LPGA classic. Two of the most popular PGA players ever, Fred Couples and Davis Love III, have each earned victories here—twice. The Bay Course should certainly be on the “must play” list for any golfer visiting Maui.

This golfing haven not only presents awe-inspiring vistas of the Pacific Ocean from its Upcountry setting but also offers a compelling challenge across its 18-hole course, designed by renowned architect Bob Baldock. Spanning nearly 160 acres and perched at an elevation of 1,100 feet on the slopes of Haleakalā, the club features a par 72, 6,962-yard journey from the championship tees, featuring a unique 19th green. Particularly notable is the third hole, presenting golfers with a strategic dilemma: execute a daunting iron shot over a ravine or opt for a precision chip into a dramatically situated green. Well-groomed fairways and greens make the club both demanding for the seasoned golfer and inviting for the novice. With its serene setting and a name that translates to “Entrance to Heaven,” Pukalani Country Club is indeed a slice of paradise.

First introduced to the world of wood carving by his father and grandfather, local artist Taani Tasini Lavaka carries on the traditional Polynesian art form showcased in his Wailea gallery Tasini Tiki Gallery. Born and raised in the Island Kingdom of Tonga, Taani honed his craft to become a master tiki and bone carver. His dream-come-true gallery showcases traditional Polynesian themes, from large-scale wood sculptures to smaller wood and whalebone pieces. Working with traditional tools such as mallets and wood chisels, each piece is more than a decorative novelty but imbued with the spirit of his Tongan ancestry. As a skilled wood carver, Taani can custom create a true-to-life sculpture from any image also. One of the preeminent wood carvers on Maui, his artwork has sold and shipped worldwide with high-profile collectors such as Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, George H.W. Bush and many more. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
