Magical W

hile you can snorkel right off your hotel's beach, excursions aboard well-equipped vessels provide access to underwater Mecca’s such as Molokini volcanic crater, three miles off Maui's south shore. Here is the cradle of life. The arms of an eroded cinder cone embrace a tropical ecosystem where rainbow fish are tame and where eels and turtles dance in their personal playground. Morning and afternoon snorkel trips and dive charters to Molokini depart from Lahaina and Mä'alaea harbors. A bonus for staying on Maui is easy access to Läna'i and Moloka'i. These islands enjoy their own unique society and ambiance. Moloka'i is the way Hawai‘i used to be: mom and pop stores, farming, fishing, hunting. Known as “The Friendly Isle” for its hospitality, Moloka'i is accessible through flights from Kahului airport and ferry from Lahaina. Ground tours are available, including visits to St. Damien’s mission at Kalaupapa. A visit to Läna‘i offers golden sands and snorkeling at Hulopo’e Bay, a marine preserve popular with porpoises. Läna'i is know as “Hawai‘i’s Private Island” because it is almost exclusively owned by David H. Murdock. For a hundred years pineapple was the base of the island’s economy. Today cheaper pineapples from the Third World has forced Läna'i to rely on tourism. Now the major employers for the island’s population of about 3,000 people are two five-star resorts. On the way to Läna‘i you’ll see Maui’s dramatic panorama of mountains and valleys accented by spontaneous prisms of glowing rainbows. There’s something special about experiencing Maui from the ocean. Perhaps it calls forth an ancestral link to seafaring relatives or perhaps it’s the sea air appetite that enhances the delicious foods they serve on board. Maui’s spectrum of activities and opportunities for adventure are unsurpassed. Of course a good deal of time is spent at the pool or on the beach. Our world-class resorts are oases of fun and relaxation.

Maui

organized comforts for a day brings a unique perspective of Maui. There are few day trips in the United States that can compare to one to Haleakalä. Meaning “House of the Sun,” Haleakalä is a vast eroded valley of volcanic rock formed 1 million years ago. Eruptions as recent as 800 years ago created lava flows and cinder cones that rise up to 1,000 feet off the valley floor. Getting to Haleakalä is an experience in itself. Journey from the beach to cowboy country, through proteas and jacarandas, onward to silverswords and space stations at the summit. These movie-like transitions pluck chords within, orchestrating vivid memories to be recalled again and again back home. Haleakalä Visitor Center at 9,745 ft. offers interesting exhibits and views of multi-hued cinder cones reaching skyward, towering peaks embraced by silvery clouds and panoramas of the Big Island’s sometimes snow-capped volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Haleakalä road (Hwy. 378) holds the world record for climbing to the highest elevation in the shortest distance (38 miles). Every August there’s a “Cycle to the Sun” race where athletes pedal for several hours uphill to the summit. However, there is an easier way to enjoy Mt. Haleakalä, — a downhill bicycle cruise. Descending the mountain you become one with the landscape. A vista at every curve, new smells, old flashbacks. This is the kind of hill you always dreamed about when you were a kid. And up here age doesn’t matter. That feeling coming through the handlebars is the same as it was twenty, thirty, even fifty years ago. A van takes you above the clouds near the summit where you are given your bike and safety gear. Or you can take a self-guided tour to cruise around at your own pace.

Be When you’re in the sun...

get a hat • cover up • grab shades seek shade • rub it on

rays can hurt your skin in more ways than one. Just a few serious sunburns can increase your risk of getting skin cancer. And, over time, UVA exposure can make your skin wrinkled and leathery. So, before heading out into Hawai‘i’s outdoors, do yourself a favor. Protect the skin you’re in. Listed below are a few guidelines to help you and your family keep cool and healthy while on vacation or at home.

Sun Protection:

• Apply a reef-friendly sunscreen and lip balm with UVA and UVB Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15; apply at least 30 minutes prior to going outside. Reapply every two hours, even when it’s cloudy. • Wear protective clothing a broad-brimmed hat and tight woven clothing like a long-sleeved shirt and pants. • Wear sunglasses that block at least 99% of all UV rays. • Avoid the midday sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • Keep babies less than 6 months old out of the sun and do not apply sunscreen to their skin. For children older than 6 months old, use sunscreen specially made for children. • For sensitive skin: use PABA-Free sunscreens with either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

If Sunburned:

• Cool and soothe the skin with a cold damp cloth or ice cubes. • If sunburn covers a large area, immerse the body in a cool Aveeno powder bath that coats and soothes the skin. • Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen reduces inflammation, itching and also dulls the pain. • Drink lots of water or juice to replace body fluids. • If suffering from severe (blistering) sunburn, see a doctor immediately.

DO NOT:

• Use any product containing “-caine” ingredients; doing so may cause an allergic reaction in some people. • Lubricate the skin with suntan oil while exposed to the sun. Suntan oil can actually magnify the harmful effects of the sun.

ust seven miles up Baldwin Avenue from Pä‘ia is Makawao (Map 9 in back), another fun and funky town that deserves a few hours of any visitor’s time. Located in Upcountry Maui, the town takes pride in its paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy, roots. In Pä‘ia, one can find no end of bathing suits and surf gear, but Makawao is where you go for cowboy boots and hats, all with a Hawaiian flair. Makawao also has a charming assortment of boutiques, art galleries, yoga studios and eateries. While Makawao is not a big town, it can be easy to miss some of its best offerings, so here are my picks for ‘What Not to Miss!’ Bakery: Komoda Bakery, one of the few mom and pop shops still left on the island, has unbelievable donuts, cream puffs, and I’m sure other tasty delights, but I’ve never gotten past the above mentioned items. Food: Casanova is a wellestablished Italian restaurant and late-night hot spot, but it’s my personal favorite for lunch. The deli side of the operation serves delicious, made-to-order sandwiches. I could live off the “Roma,” with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Yum! Jewelry: Little Tibet is a hidden gem in itself, a teeny little store on the corner of Baldwin and Makawao Avenues, with a large selection of beautiful, hand-selected gems and jewelry. Art: Maui is chock-full of art galleries, but Viewpoints Gallery is a beautiful one with an ever-changing selection of paintings, photographs and other works, mostly by local artists. Boutique: It would be impossible to pick just one boutique as my favorite, explore them all! Don’t forget: Makawao is located at 1,600 feet above sea level, and on the windward side of the island, so it can be a bit cooler and rainier than Kïhei or Lahaina. A light jacket or sweater may not be a bad idea, especially in the evening or in winter.

The answer to “Where did you get that?” isn’t a store. It’s a story.

The fun begins by choosing your oyster from the bucket. Next, the ring of a bell and shout of “Aloha!” and there’s your genuine pearl. Then select a beautiful sterling silver or gold setting, perhaps a ring, pendant or matching earrings. Your pearl will be mounted as you watch. And not only will you have an elegant piece of fine jewelry, but a memory to share with friends – and each other – forever. Original. Authentic. And part of Hawaii for more than 30 years.

The Hawaiian Monk Seal

Aloha, and welcome to the island of Maui As you visit our beaches, you may see one of the most critically endangered marine mammals on Earth, the Hawaiian Monk Seal. Your help is vital to ensure their survival. Please read the following guidelines for observing the seals (and Hawaiian sea turtles as well).

ALWAYS stay well behind barricades or signs placed around a basking seal, and at least 150 feet from seals in unmarked areas. REMEMBER to maintain a much greater distance from a mother and pup, or any seal that appears disturbed or agitated. ALWAYS pass outside barricades, or above an unbarricaded seal, not between the seal and the shoreline. ALWAYS photograph seals from the proper distance and never use flash photography in their presence. REMEMBER children. Advise them of proper behavior. An agitated (or even friendly) 400- to 600- pound animal could bite or cause other serious injury. ALWAYS report any sightings and/or harassment — on the beach, in the water or from a boat operator — to the Maui Monk Seal Watch at 808 292-2372; the state’s Department of Land and Natural Resources’ 24-hour hotline at 808 643-DLNR; or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 24hour Marine Mammal Hotline at 888 256-9840. REMEMBER State and Federal laws. Harassment or distur bance of a Hawaiian Monk Seal can incur fines exceeding $25,000 and up to five years of imprisonment. Enjoy these natural treasures of our state. Your respect for their well-being and survival will ensure their presence during your next visit and for generations to come. (Local residents should remember that dogs present serious disease and injurious threat to marine mammals. Please keep your dogs leashed and well away from these beach visitors.)

Always heed posted warning signs — they may save your life.

he ocean is never more inviting than in Hawai‘i, but don’t take it for granted. During winter months, south-facing shores are generally calm while the northern shores usually have rougher surf and riptides. The opposite is often true in summer. To be safe in all seasons, beachgoers should keep the following tips in mind. Pick a beach with a lifeguard. Keep in mind that county lifeguards are on duty from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at only eight of Maui’s beach parks* and that they can’t watch everyone all the time. Beaches fronting resorts may have their own lifeguards. Ask lifeguards or locals about conditions. Before jumping in, examine the ocean. Ask yourself, “Is there anyone else in the water?” — if not, find out why! Study the waves, their frequency and size; look for currents and riptides. If you don’t know the difference between a riptide and Rip Taylor, please ask a lifeguard about the current conditions and which areas to avoid. Remember: IF IN DOUBT, DON’T GO OUT! Pay attention to signs posted on coastal areas. Ocean conditions can change radically in a short time. Signs are posted, when possible, to save you from harm! They may warn about large waves, undertows, slippery rocks, sharks, jellyfish, and other hazardous conditions. Read and heed! Stay on dry sand, sea walls or rocks and never turn your back on the ocean. Large waves can sweep you off the beach or rocks and pull you out to deep water without warning. Respect Mother Nature and use commons sense. Don’t take risks like posing for a picture in the ocean with big surf breaking in the background. If you see someone in trouble, find a lifeguard or call 911 and report the location and situation. *To find out which beaches have lifeguards, call Maui County Ocean Safety at 808 270-6136 or you can download the “County of Maui Ocean Safety Flyer” from the web page is.gd/7aCC-.

Going to the Beach?

Check it out!

Everyone knows that the beach is where the fun is, but Hawai‘i’s oceans are strong and can turn fun into tragedy. So, use care and caution for all water activities. Always read and obey beach safety signs, they could save your life. For more information, go to is.gd/3cHCJm- . This message brought to you by Hawai‘i’s lifeguards — and the State Department of Health.

The long and winding road

If ever you could drive to heaven, Maui’s the place to do it! Known around the world as “Heavenly Häna” this area of Maui is an authentic tropical paradise.

Valley Isle Excursions photo

ike all good things there is a challenge involved in getting there. The Häna road meanders along Maui’s northern coastline, hugging precipitous cliffs and plunging into lush valleys, punctuated by streams and waterfalls tumbling into idyllic pools. An engineering feat in itself, the road boasts approximately 617 curves and crosses 56 one-lane bridges before straightening out just before Häna. Be sure to fill up with gas before leaving Pä‘ia. The journey is like passing through some giant’s botanical garden for at almost every corner is the habitat of exotic bamboo groves, koa and kukui nut trees, banana patches, clusters of anthuriums and wild ginger. Driving time is about three hours each way and it’s advisable to get an early start. The Häna area (population 3500) was once a bustling agricultural center until the sugar plantation was closed in 1944. Now Häna residents regard their isolation as a precious resource and the area has attracted such stars as Oprah Winfrey, who has pledged to keep her land undeveloped. Sights in Häna include the century-old lava rock Wänanalua Church, Ka‘uiki Head fortress and the birthplace of Kamehameha’s favorite wife Queen Ka‘ahumanu. The land that was once sugar cane fields is now home to grass-fed cattle belonging to the Häna Ranch, which rests among rolling hills of lush grazing land. Also in town is the legendary Hotel Häna Maui offering luxury and serenity. On the way to Kïpahulu, 10 miles south of Häna and part of Haleakalä National Park, Wailuä Gulch offers two splendid waterfalls and a nearby “virgin by the roadside,” a famous Catholic shrine. Once at ‘Ohe‘o Gulch (in Kïpahulu), you can view the famous pools cascading down to the sea and walk on trails through bamboo forest, home of some rare Hawaiian birds and plants. There are so many waterfalls and pools that this tropical sanctuary might be described as “heaven on earth,” but be aware that flash flooding from rain far up the mountain is always a possibility.

Atlantis Submarines

tlantis Submarines recently celebrated its 22nd

anniversary of taking passengers to see the magic of Hawai‘i’s undersea world. Here on Maui, Atlantis offers submarine tours daily with departures from Lahaina Harbor. The cruise out to the Atlantis Submarines dive site off

Lahaina is beautiful, with majestic views of Maui, Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. It is the perfect introduction to an underwater submarine adventure that is teeming with beautiful, fascinating and unique species of tropical sea life. In 2005, Atlantis Submarines sank the Carthaginian, a replica whaling ship and former Lahaina tourist attraction, in an area devoid of coral reef. Secured to the bottom in an upright position 95 feet below the surface, the vessel enhances the viewing experience as a self-sustaining habitat for schools of tropical fish, coral and other marine life. Atlantis Submarines can stretch your dollars with their Lü‘au & Sub Combo, Snorkel & Sub Combo, Upper Zipline or Lower Zipline and Sub Combo and, from December to May, the Submarine and Whale Watch Combo. Also, ask about the Maui Value Pass that offers four of the island’s top attractions at one low price. See page 111, call 808 667-7942 or go to AtlantisSubmarines.com.

Is Reef Recovery Possible? Y ou see them everywhere, fish of garish colors and shapes — in waiting rooms, restaurants, hotels, stores, even airports: Yellow tangs, longnose butterflyfish, Moorish idols and wrasses — in aquariums. Laws protect coral, but we have no laws to protect reef fish. A reef system is not just coral. Reefs cannot survive without fish. High demand for yellow tangs and cleaner wrasses leaves Hawai‘i reefs empty and algae-ridden. Tangs control algae and comprise 54% of the aquarium take. Wrasses relieve other reef fish of parasites. When you remove a species from the reefs, or greatly reduce their numbers, a reef system is out of balance. SaveHawaiianReefs.org is leading a campaign to regulate aquarium trade extraction from Hawai‘i reefs to seek bag limits and limit the number of catchers. The “reported” ornamental fish catch is 1-2 million fish per year, though the Division of Aquatic Resources head estimates the true catch at 2-5 times that amount. Keep our fish at home.

OLD LÄHAINA LÜ‘AU

takes you back...

mpressively authentic, the Old Lähaina Lü‘au experience will virtually take you back in time. Imagine yourself in ancient Lahaina, enjoying a traditional Hawaiian feast under the stars. Lahaina was the center of royal activity on Maui, where great Kings and Queens entertained their guests with oli (chants), mele (songs), captivating hula, and genuine ho‘okipa (hospitality). The Old Lähaina Lü‘au invites you to such an evening of fun and absolute relaxation. Leave the cell phones behind and just “Hang Loose” Hawaiian style. pon arrival, you are greeted with fresh flower lei, tropical beverages, and sincere aloha. Before the show, feel free to explore the spacious lü‘au grounds fashioned after an ancient Hawaiian village by the sea, complete with thatched-roof huts, lava rock walls, and wooden canoes. The pre-show activities include a coconut cutting demonstration, poi pounding, kapa cloth making, Hawaiian made arts and crafts, and the ever-popular imu (underground oven) ceremony. Everyone is invited to gather for the unearthing of the kälua pua‘a (roast pork) from the traditional imu, where it has been cooking since early morning. The results are well worth the time! Guests are escorted to the hale ‘ai (eating house) for a satisfying, bountiful buffet of island cuisine, including the melt-in-your-mouth kalua pork (a must taste), baked mahimahi, guava chicken, teriyaki steak, lomilomi salmon, rice, sweet potatoes, a variety of salads, sauteed vegetables, banana bread, haupia (coconut pudding), and more. Desserts and coffee are later served at your table and an open cocktail bar is available throughout the evening. Take in the romantic ocean sunset as views of Läna‘i and Moloka‘i fade into a vast star lit sky; the perfect

backdrop for an excellent meal and first-rate performance. magine a time when culture, tradition, and respect for the ‘äina (land) meant everything. Ancient hula told a story and was also a form of communication with the gods. The arrival of the missionaries brought many changes. At one point hula was discouraged and nearly banned, yet in 1882 King Kaläkaua insisted that hula be performed once again, in public, at his coronation ceremony. The Old Lähaina Lü‘au takes you through these historic moments with interesting narration from ancient times up through the glamorous, modern day shake, rattle, and roll “Hollywood Hula” of the movies. For over two decades, the Old Lähaina Lü‘au team has worked hard to capture the essence of old Hawai‘i, earning them the Hawai‘i Visitors and Convention Bureau’s “Kähili” (Keep it Hawai‘i) Award, many times. The show presents the best of the old and new with advantages such as state-of-the-art lighting and hi-tech surround sound. The seating has also been carefully planned as all tables have an ocean view and plenty of elbow room. magine, once again, gathering at this festive Hawaiian party; sipping cool tropical delights and basking in the gentle evening trade winds, as talented musicians and bright young dancers share their culture with swaying hips and graceful hands.

Hawai‘i Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary

earn about humpback whales, koholä in Hawaiian, their place in Hawaiian history and culture, and about the creation and mission of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary at the beachfront sanctuary headquarters in Kïhei (Map 7). Koholä are seen on the horizon during winter months, with frequent activity close to shore. Staffed by dedicated volunteers well-versed in whale facts, the Education Center includes exhibits and artifacts, a marine science library, and information for adults and children. At 11 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year, there is an informative program for humpback whale enthusiasts of all ages called “45-ton Whale Talk.” Fronting the sanctuary property is a three-acre Native Hawaiian fishpond named Kö‘ie‘ie Loko I‘a. It is one of the last remaining intact traditional fish ponds along the South Maui coastline. The Education Center at 726 S. Kïhei Rd. is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

How You Can Help Preserve Hawai‘i’s Reefs Leave the beach cleaner than you found it. Tie up plastic bags so they don’t fly into the ocean. Discard cigarette butts in proper containers. Keep the ocean clean — any kind of litter can harm the reef and the fish. Practice floating! Stay off the reef — one touch can harm it; more can kill it. Enjoy marine life, but no touching, chasing or feeding. Support reef-friendly businesses — ask how they protect the reef. Make sure your fishing, diving snorkeling, hotel, and other operators care about the reef. Be an informed consumer. Ask how fish and coral were collected.

Wild Dolphins and Sea Turtles awai‘i is home to many different types of marine animals. Two of the most exciting animals found in Maui waters are dolphins and sea turtles. There are three different types of dolphins that are frequently sighted. Bottlenose dolphins are the largest and travel in pairs or small groups. Spinner dolphins are named for their spinning behavior when they leap from the sea acrobatically. Spotted dolphins live in large groups and also jump out of the water — sometimes as high as the upper deck of the boat! Hawai‘i is also home to five species of sea turtles. The most likely you will see is the green sea turtle, named for the color of its body fat which is tinted green due to its herbivore diet. Make sure to see dolphins and turtles in the wild on your vacation. Pacific Whale Foundation offers daily dolphin watches and snorkel cruises.

ou can see humpback whales splashing and spouting in the ocean from the beach and the golf course, so why not get a closer look at them from a whale-watch cruise? There are many companies offering cruises with prices to fit most budgets. Departures are usually from Mä‘alaea Harbor in the Central Maui area and Lahaina Harbor (above) in West Maui. Most of the cruises last around two hours, see the ads in this magazine for details. O‘ahu-based freelance photographer Wayne Shinbara has gone on tours with several different companies over the years. He shares some of his photos and offers tips below. • Keep your camera handy as the boat leaves the harbor, you’ll get great views of Maui’s southern coastline and maybe see a rainbow now and then. There may even be a surprise ahead — like a Hawaiian monk seal sunbathing on the harbor breakwater. A good crew will spot these photo ops for their passengers and try to give everyone a chance to get a shot. • The lens I use is a 70-200mm zoom, often with a teleconverter to double the zoom range. When whales come up close to the boat, use a wide-angle zoom such as a 10-20mm or higher. By the way, it helps to have a lens like an 18300mm or similar zoom ratio, then you don’t have to switch lenses. You would HATE to have a lens fall into the Pacific Ocean if you were changing lenses when the boat rocked. • Use 100 ISO if its super bright on the ocean. On a cloudy day, adjust to 200 IS0 or higher, depending on the lighting conditions. With a rocking boat and a long telephoto lens, it is best to use a shutter speed of 1/500 or higher. • You may not have the best sightings on your first cruise, so take another if you can. Good luck and happy shooting!

Wailuku, located just west of Kahului at the entrance to ‘Iao Valley, is the county seat of Maui County. It is home to many state and county offices and court houses and was where islanders shopped, dined and were entertained before the advent of shopping malls and resort areas. Ka‘ahumanu Congregational Church (right) on South High Street was erected in 1876 to honor King Kamehameha’s queen, the powerful ali’i (ruler) Ka’ahumanu, who was influential in establishing Christianity in the islands. The Historic ‘Iao Theatre on North Market Street opened in 1928 and is home to productions by Maui OnStage and other community or professional groups. Stroll down Market Street from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on the first Friday of the month, rain or shine, and you may see keiki hula on a street corner, people dancing in outdoor courtyards to live music, booths with arts, crafts and food for sale, or a medium conducting a psychic reading. Wailuku First Friday was started in October 2007 by the Wailuku Community Association and has grown to be a popular pau hana (after work) celebration attracting hundreds of people each month. Market Street, from Vineyard to Main streets, will be closed to traffic so you can walk around and enjoy the activities safely.

Snorkeling Safety & Health Tips

Reprinted by permission of Snorkel Bob’s Reality Guide to Hawai‘i

1) Snorkeling is a buddy spor t. You help your buddy. She helps you. 2) Never turn your back on the ocean. It’ll whomp you when you least expect it. 3) Assess surf, current, wave sets, surge, reef and rocks before entering. Advanced snorkelers call this “Snorkel Meditation” and use the exercise to enter environmental data to their snorkel programs. 4) Avoid wana (pronounced “vanna”), black sea urchins whose spines break off in your skin. Use aspirin for sunburn; peroxide and antiseptic ointment for reef rash; and cigarette tobacco, meat tenderizer (except for MSG allergenics) and Benadryl™ (capsules or ointment) for man-of-war, which is like a bee sting. Making shishi on stings also kills pain and other trauma, but I, Snorkel Bob, know that this can sorely test a friendship. 5) Enter and exit from sandy beach areas. 6) Never swim against a current. Cross it diagonally. Extreme currents off Kona coast. If you get caught in a current, wave for help. DON’T PANIC, unless of course rubbernecks on the beach wave back. 7) Avoid snorkeling at dusk. 8) Friends don’t let friends snorkel drunk. 9) Don’t snorkel in strong offshore wind. 10) Duck or dive under breaking waves before they reach you to avoid their force. Don’t jump over or turn your back to them. 11) I, Snorkel Bob, wear a t-shirt, rash guard and swim cap while snorkeling in the intense Hawaiian sun (no sunscreen, it damages coral). 12) If big fish swim up fast and hide behind you, you probably got bigger fish heading in, right up on the food chain to you-know-who. Arruuggahh! Only kidding. Ha-ha. HA! 13) Don’t forget your underwater camera—35 mm, 27 shots, cheap! Right now, with me, Snorkel Bob. 14) Fish food in plastic wrappers is hereby denounced by me, Snorkel Bob, in particular, LeSuer Peas and stale bread. The plastic wrappers tend to clog my, Snorkel Bob’s, ocean, and all that crap constipates my, Snorkel Bob’s, little-bitty fish buddies. I, Snorkel Bob, further deplore so-called organic fish foods with biodegradable wrappers. This stuff fouls the eco-system, deranges mild-mannered fish and is baaad. Bad. THE ONLY fish food allowed by my, Snorkel Bob’s, Guidelines to a Better World is you, my friends, in final mode, aloha and adieu, down to nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium. This form can also free up some parking spaces.

ith the sea surrounding us on all sides, it’s little wonder that Maui’s most popular athletic endeavors are watersports related. Nary a day goes by on Maui without someone catching a wave or stroking a paddle! Invented by ancient Polynesians who slid toward shore on huge wooden planks carved from trees, surfing has evolved through the centuries to become a multi-million dollar, global industry. Aside from the obvious fashion influence spawned by surfers, the sport itself has many levels. Neophytes can get their feet wet in softer breaks such as the “Cove” in Kïhei, or Launiopoko on the Westside, a mile south of Lahaina town. Surf schools abound these days, so anyone with the nerve can give it a try. There are also plenty of surfers who do little else. Thousands of them work night jobs, just to be able to ride waves every day. Ask your waiter or hotel night clerk if he (or she) surfs — the answer will likely be an emphatic “yes.” Rick Faustino, a waiter at a popular Maui restaurant said: “Surfing is not a sport like basketball or tennis where you can just go play whenever. To surf, you need waves, and when they’re here, you gotta go!” So, if your food’s late, blame it on the surf! Ho'okipa Beach Park — about two miles east of Pä‘ia town — is a great place to pull over and watch the surfers do their thing, as is the Harbor mouth at Lahaina. But, when the waves get really big — as in over 40 feet high — the tow-assisted surfing begins. Occurring only once or twice a year, waves of this size cannot be paddled into, so personal watercraft with tow lines are used to propel surfers into these behemoths. On such days, the “most amazing show on earth” will be happening at Peahi, also known as “Jaws.” Located about six miles east of Pä‘ia town, Jaws is hard to find and Teammates and family wait on shore while paddlers are poised

Paddling

Once there, however, the views and action are breathtaking. Surf videos, posters and calendars showing Jaws abound so, if you’re not lucky enough to see it live, you can still experience the power vicariously. utrigger canoe paddling is another of the truly “Hawaiian” ocean sports, with roots that can be traced back to the ancient Polynesians. With no method of interisland transportation other than paddling outrigger canoes fashioned from giant trees, the Hawaiians traveled great distances in these watercraft and, in fact, migrated from the South Pacific using canoes fitted with sails. (The name “outrigger" comes from the pontoon-like extension protruding from the hull — called an ama — which provides stability). Today, outrigger canoe paddling is Hawaii’s official state sport. Thousands of paddlers of all ages enjoy the activity on every island. Canoe clubs abound, with hundreds of members each. Beehives of activity during the summer months, the clubs serve as the center of the social universe for many, with practice sessions taking place at all hours of the day. Participation is open to one and all, and joining a club is easy and encouraged, as a club’s strength lies in its numbers. “They say it takes a village to raise a child and my canoe club offers just such a ‘village,’ ” said paddler Dave Kauomo, who added “I can bring my son to the club in the morning and know that, all day, he’ll be looked after and will learn teamwork, sharing, camaraderie while making friendships that will last a lifetime.”

Historical gems are tucked between the boutiques and eateries of the historic seaside town of Lahaina. Here are two of them.

Baldwin Home

Stroll down Front Street, Lahaina’s main drag, and you can’t miss the two-story house where the Reverend Dwight Baldwin and his family lived from 1838 to 1870. It holds the distinction of being the oldest house on Maui. Restored in 1966 by the nonprofit Lahaina Restoration Foundation, whose mission is to “restore, maintain and interpret the physical, historical and cultural legacy of Lahaina,” the Baldwin Home offers a fascinating glimpse of 1850s missionary life. Baldwin Home photo courtesy of Displayed within its John Pierre’s Studio. two-foot-thick coral and lava rock walls are many original pieces, including Reverend Baldwin’s medical instruments, his wife Charlotte’s rocking chair and sewing chest, an octant, a four-poster koa bed, and a portrait of Baldwin painted for $15 in 1847 by J.B. Knapp, a whaler in Honolulu. 120 Dickenson St., Lahaina (See Map 6). Open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Candlelit Tours 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays. Admission fee. Information: 808 661-3262; LahainaRestoration.org.

Lahaina Heritage Museum

Housed on the second floor of the Old Lahaina Courthouse, the Lahaina Heritage Museum chronicles the town’s history through changing themed exhibits. The Courthouse was built in 1859 of timber and stones salvaged from King Kamehameha III’s palace, Hale Piula, which was destroyed in a windstorm in 1858. The exhibit “Lahaina’s Whaling Days and Whales Today” makes the history of Lahaina come alive. Its storyline begins in 1850’s Lahaina, the height of the whaling era, and progresses to the present, The Courthouse is between Banyan represented by a series of Tree Park and Lahaina Harbor. dramatic humpback images by National Geographic photographer Flip Nicklin, a parttime Maui resident.

Most Maui visitors also head for the seaside resorts, but there are wonderful diversions in, “Central Maui,” the heart of the island.

Bailey House Museum

Bailey House Museum is the namesake of Edward Bailey, who arrived in Wailuku in 1840 to teach at the adjacent Wailuku Female Seminary. He became its headmaster less than a year later, and lived in the house with his family until 1889. Today, it serves as both a museum and the headquarters for the Maui Historical Society. Its treasures Bailey House Museum photo. include ancient Hawaiian weapons; stone and shell tools; and ornaments made of feathers, kukui nuts, and dog and whale teeth. Midto late-1800s missionary life is revealed through a spinning wheel, writing desk, organ, koa bed, quilts, armoire, dresser, delicate china and more. Bailey was a self-taught artist, and an entire room is devoted to his original paintings of dramatic Maui landscapes. 2375-A Main St., Wailuku. Open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Admission fee. Information: 808 244-3326; MauiMuseum.org.

cenic Pä‘ia on Maui’s North Shore offers just about everything a traveler seeks: quaint shops, fantastic restaurants and numerous beaches suitable for a variety of water activities. Away from the hustle and bustle of Lahaina and Kïhei, Pä‘ia is a laid-back little beach town with something for everyone. Historic Pä‘ia town was once a booming plantation town, with remnants of an old sugar mill still visible just up Baldwin Avenue (see Maps 9 & 10). Many of its old plantation-style wooden buildings, complete with the vibrant color schemes, are still intact. Inside are an array of boutiques, surf shops, art galleries and even an oldfashioned tattoo parlor. With warm hospitality and friendly service, the atmosphere is unlike that of any other town on Maui. Pä‘ia has a variety of dining options — coffee shops, Pacific Rim, Continental, Mexican, Indian, sushi, pizza, burgers, vegetarian, seafood, and more. Many of the restaurants offer a fun late-night scene as well. Pä‘ia is also a great place to pick up a picnic lunch for a road trip to Häna. Besides great food and shopping, Pä‘ia is known for its beaches. Baldwin Beach Park has one of the most beautiful white sand beaches on Maui and offers full facilities, including showers and lifeguards. It’s great for swimming, beachcombing and relaxing. If that’s not what you want, check out Pä‘ia Bay and Tavares Bay, just look for the parking lots visible from Häna Highway. Pick up your surfing or windsurfing gear at one of the several surf shops in town. Just past Pä‘ia on Häna Highway is Ho‘okipa Beach Park, one of the world’s best spots to watch surfers and windsurfers. While this beach also offers lifeguards, entering the water at this beach, even just for swimming, is usually reserved for experts. Check with the lifeguards before heading out. Many people stop in Pä‘ia town on their way to Häna or Upcountry, only to find they should have allocated more time here. When planning your trip, remember that Pä‘ia is a mellow little town, with most stores opening late (10 a.m.) and closing early (5 p.m.). Bring your appetite, wallet, and camera, but don’t worry about a bathing suit, there are many bikini shops, too!

Lahaina

Story by Cheryl Chee Tsutsumi

has been a hot spot, both literally and figuratively, since ancient times. Its name translates from Hawaiian as “cruel sun,” and while this may seem too harsh of a description, it’s true it’s a rare day when it’s not warm, sunny and dry in this picturesque seaside town. Long ago, the ali‘i (Hawaiian royalty) recognized Lahaina’s calm, blue waters were ideal for swimming, canoeing, fishing and surfing. They came h e re o f t e n t o relax and play.

Traders came, then whalers and missionaries. Noting its importance as a stop along Pacific sea routes, King Kamehameha established Lahaina as the first capital of the Hawaiian kingdom in 1802. During whaling’s heyday in the mid-1840s, more than 400 ships moored in Lahaina every year. While the vessels were being reprovisioned, their crews enjoyed shore leave to the fullest. “For a few days, they raised hell at the port of Lahaina,” writes Maxine Mrantz in her book, “Hawaii’s Whaling Days.”

Appalled, the staid missionaries urged the ali‘i (chiefs, rulers) to enforce a strict code of laws, which Mrantz shares in part: “No more fiddling or dancing on the Sabbath... no more going for horse rides on the Sabbath... no more gambling... no more licensing of grogshops... no more taking girls out to the ships.” Nevertheless, Hale Pa‘ahao, the town’s prison, was continually The Wo Hing Museum. packed with rowdy sailors. than a 160 years later, Lahaina maintains its lively demeanor. Although the town proper measures just one-and-a-half miles long and a few blocks deep, it is chock-full of intriguing diversions, including 19th-century historic sights, fine art galleries, trendy boutiques, souvenir shops, and award-winning restaurants. There are also many museums that tell the story of whalers, missionaries and other immigrants. Lahaina hosts several annual events coordinated by the nonprofit LahainaTown Action Committee whose mission is to promote, preserve and encourage the historical, cultural, social, commercial and environmental vitality and significance of Lahaina town. Among them are the Ocean Arts Festival in March, the Banyan Tree Birthday Party in April, Na Kamehameha Pä‘ü Parade & Ho‘olaule‘a in June, 4th of July Fireworks, and the Holiday Lighting of the Banyan Tree in December.

How

the

Mu‘umu‘u

got its name

When Protestant missionaries arrived in the islands in the 1820s, they determined that Hawaiian women needed to cover their bodies. The Victorian-style Mother Hubbard dress, floor-length and loose fitting with a high neck and long sleeves, was the garment of choice. The Mother Hubbard was called holokü by the Hawaiians. When shorter length garments, minus the sleeves and high neck, were designed, they were called mu‘umu‘u, the Hawaiian word for cut off or shortened. Maui Prime Fine Foods was opened by Karin and Cary Button in November 2006 to provide Maui food lovers with gourmet foods, specialty products and fine wines that were unavailable on the retail level. One deli case features difficult-to-find cold-water seafood, an adjacent meat case includes American-style Kobe beef and locally-grown beef and another is stocked with imported and domestic cheeses. Maui Prime Fine Foods is in Lahaina’s Emerald Plaza (Map 4), 142 Kupuohi St. Unit F-7. For more information, visit MauiPrime.com or call 808 661-4912.

e hope you had a chance to try at least one of the many locally inspired dishes here in Hawai‘i. Along with the many enjoyable memories of your trip, here’s one recipe you can try at home. Just imagine yourself back in Hawai‘i — enjoying your pictures, fond memories and this wonderful dish. It’s time to kau kau (Pidgin English for “eat”)!

Beef Curry Stew yield: 6–8 servings

Plate lunch style Beef Curry is prepared much like our local style beef stew except the tomato flavoring is substituted with the exotic taste of curry. That curry flavor leans more to the Japanese style than Indian or Thai.

• 2 pounds lean stewing beef, cut into 1-inch cubes • 1⁄4 cup flour • 2 tablespoon salad oil • 2 large onions, cut in wedges • 1 clove garlic, pressed • 1 quart water • 2 teaspoons salt (add more as desired)

• 1 tablespoon curry powder (add more as desired) • 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper • 4 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces • 4 potatoes, pared and quartered • 1 cup sliced celery • 1⁄4 cup flour • 1⁄4 cup water • 1⁄2 cup sherry

Dredge beef in flour; brown lightly on all sides in hot oil. Add onion and garlic; brown lightly. Add water; cover and simmer 11⁄2 hours or until beef is tender. Add seasonings and vegetables; cook additional 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Make paste of flour and water; add to stew with sherry and cook until thickened. Serve over steamed rice. Variations: Chicken Curry - Substitute boneless chicken thigh or breast for beef. Shrimp Curry - Substitute shelled and cleaned shrimp with tails removed for beef.

An Ethnic Potluck Primer

he food we eat in Hawai‘i is a fusion of the memories and recipes of the cuisine our ancestors brought with them from Portugal, Britain and other parts of Europe, Japan, China, the Philippines, Korea, and the rest of Asia, and the United States. In Kau Kau: Cuisine & Culture in the Hawaiian Islands (Watermark Publishing, BooksHawaii.net), author Arnold Hiura explores the history and heritage of favorite island foods, from taro to SPAM. Hiura has a section in his book titled “The Kau Kau 100: An Ethnic Potluck Primer” that describes or defines the food from various cultures that settled in the islands. Here is an abbreviated list that highlights the sort of food that warms the tummies of many islanders. Pick up a copy of this book to read more fun and informative stories about Hawai‘i foods, chefs, and specialty food products.

GOT fish!

When

Hawai‘i, Eat Like The Locals!

Here are just some of the more popular fish that can be prepared in numerous ways in most restaurants.

Open Ocean Fish

‘Ahi (Yellowfin

Weighing from 10 to 250 pounds, this fish can be ordered broiled, baked, seared or sauteed. During winter, the fat content and red color make it desirable as sashimi (raw). When cooked, the flesh can be described as full-flavored, firm and “meat-like” in texture with a white to Tuna) a somewhat creamy color.

This fish has firm white meat that, when cooked, has a delicate flaky texture and an almost sweet, aromatic flavor. It is used as a substitute for Mahimahi and is one of the best fish for smoking.

Ono (Wahoo)

Source: State of Hawai‘i, Dept. of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT), Ocean Resources Branch.

Males have wedge-like foreheads while females have sloping ones. Great fighters, they twist wildly as they jump in the air. The meat is firm and light pink with a sweet taste. When cooked the flesh Mahimahi (Dolphinfish) is white and flaky, making it an ideal fish for any preparation. The Opah is considered to be a “good luck fish” by many fisherman because it literally has to be snagged on a fishing lure to get caught. Opah has large-grained flesh that varies in color from pink to orange to even bright red, with a consistency similar to chicken when cooked. With its rich tasting meat, it can be prepared in a variety of ways from broiling, smoking, sashimi (raw), Opah (Moonfish) stews, and soups.

Bottom Fish

Note: Fish may not be available due to a seasonal fishing ban.

‘Opakapaka (Pink

It has firm flesh that varies from clear to light pink in color with a subtle and delicate flavor. When cooked, it becomes white and flaky and remains moist. Fillets can be prepared by baking, poaching, sashimi or sauteing, steamed or Snapper) baked whole with the head on.

The Onaga is a symbolic fish which brings joy, happiness and renewal. Many Hawaii residents serve Onaga on occasions such as New Year’s and weddings. It has a light, delicate flavor which is best enjoyed as sashimi but also prepared by baking, O naga (Red Snapper) poaching or steaming with the head on.

Hawaiian Spiny Lobster

The two varieties of Hawaiian lobsters are some of the best tasting in the world and have very firm meat which can best be described as “ c r u n c h y. ” These lobsters are scarce and rarely reach the restaurants. Research is underway to determine if they can be raised commercially.

Saving Maui’s 100

Contributor Laura Berthold assists the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project (MFBRP) field team searching for Maui parrotbill nests and hatchyears. All photos courtesy of MFBRP.

orking with the Maui parrotbill has been a reward for me since it’s a rare bird that most people don’t get to see. Every time I hear one in the wild, instinct and excitement makes me jump to find the bird. During the field season, our team of 8 to 9 people can spend up to 14 days searching for this bird. Most days we find one, some lucky days we get to see a pair and a hatchyear (less then a year old). These beautiful, curious birds give me a chance to connect with them as I watch them feed their young or forage on kanawao berries. Although some days the field team members can be dripping wet and cold, we still find purpose in what we are doing. I read stories about the ‘alalä (Hawaiian crow) or the po’ouli (honeycreeper), both thought to be extinct in the wild, and hope that a story like those won’t be written about the Maui parrotbill. We at MFBRP have become quite attached to this little bird and our hearts would be broken if the forest continues to degrade and restoration doesn’t occur. Being in the field usually consists of getting up at 6 a.m. and searching for the parrotbill until 5 or 6 p.m., depending on the weather. We’ll search from January to June, the peak breeding season for the bird. Our schedule is 10 days in the field, six days out, then repeat the cycle for the next five months. Weather can be cold and rainy all day, but we’ll still search, even if it’s too rainy or windy for us to see or hear the birds. The team spends the day walking or crawling along trails that are steep, with tons of mud, rocks and trees to Spotlight’s Maui Gold Magazine

climb over. You have to be in shape to be out in the forest! If we hear or see a parrotbill while searching on the trails, we attempt to read its color bands (bottom left and above), if it is banded, then observe and follow the bird if we can. Mistnets are used to capture unbanded birds so they can be banded. Measurements, fecal, and feather samples are taken before they are released. Male birds will usually sing before or after feeding the female, who spends the day on the nest. From this behavior we can hopefully find a nest. Once that happens, the nest is observed for three hours every day that we can, taking note of when the male feeds the female and when the female leaves the nest. From this data we can determine how successful the birds are and what is limiting their population. It’s a fun job and it’s rewarding. Being in the forest all day can be a great experience and watching the birds in their native habitat is priceless. The mission of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project (MFBRP) is to recover the populations of the endangered forest birds of Maui. MFBRP does the research necessary to protect these birds, including studying the parental investment and nest productivity of the Maui parrotbill, performing bird counts and transects, banding birds for population, lifespan, territory, and productivity, and aiding in habitat management of conservation areas. For the public, MFBRP often presents lectures and birding hikes, check MauiForestBirds.org or call 808 573-0280 for details. Also, from 6 p.m. to midnight on June 24, Sept. 30 and Dec. 30, Maui Brewing Company holds Pint Night Fundraisers for MFBRP.

Friends of Moku‘ula

Moku‘ula, Maui’s most sacred site, lies adjacent to Waine‘e (now Waiola) Church, site 9 on Map 6. It was an island surrounded by ponds and a long-time home of Hawaiian royalty. Now an empty field, the site is being excavated by archaeologists and students. The Friends of Moku‘ula plans to restore the site to how it appeared during the 1840s. More at Mokuula.com.

Hawai‘i’s state bird is the nënë goose, an endangered species that lives in Haleakalä National Park and nearby areas. Please be on the watch for them as you drive through the park and the upper slopes of Haleakalä. Also, DO NOT FEED the nënë because it encourages them to approach cars for food.
