Tour Highlights

PAʻIA

Today Paʻia is a popular surf destination, however, Paʻia’s history is as intriguing as it is fascinating. Learn about how the Sugar Plantations shaped this town and the culture of the island, and how this small north shore town was once a gathering place for entertainment and fun.

HAʻIKU

Like Paʻia, Haʻiku has its roots in agriculture. The Pineapple industry built this small, rural town, with the pineapple cannery as the center of the action. Haiku also played a pivotal part in World War 2 by being the home of the Fourth Division Marines during the 1940s.

Keʻanae Peninsula

The taro farms, church, and community here have some of the richest history on Maui.  Learn how the Ke’anae Peninsula came to be.

Garden of Eden

Visiting the Garden of Eden is reason enough to travel down the famous Hana Highway.

Ancient Hawaii

The impressive voyaging skills of early Polynesians changed the course of history by spreading their culture across the Pacific. Learn about this ancient evolving people and culture, and the myths and legends that inspired them. From the first arrival of the Marquesans to the second wave of Tahitians, see how they established a civilization and birthed monarchies, including the Kamehameha dynasty which united the Hawaiian Islands.
