We did a private tour to Haleakala Crater and Iao Valley and it was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. Wendy was our tour guide and she was absolutely incredible. We were traveling with young kids and Wendy was extremely accommodating and patient and kept the kids engaged the entire time.

We did a private birding tour with Wendy, who was an enthusiastic guide, very knowledgeable regarding Hawaiian birds, plants, geology and culture.
Fantastic Hike with lore and humor led by Wendy. Her extreme attention to detail and the fact she was well prepared beyond anything you could think of made this a fantastic and unforgettable day.
Our travel agent had arranged this tour for us. It was fabulous! Delphine met us at the cruise port in Lahaina, Maui to take us on a trip where we had requested to go half way to Hana. She is so personable, professional and informative and really knows Maui.
Please Consider Donating to Maui's Conservation Efforts
In a world threatened by catastrophic events caused by climate change and other crises in nature, it is now more important than ever to make sure our planet is cared for and protected. Here on Maui, we have many different ecosystems and over time Hawaii has more endangered species and has lost a higher percentage of its endemic species than any other U.S. state. If you’re looking for a way to give back during your vacation, we encourage you to make a donation to one of our favorite conservation organizations here on the island.

The summit of Haleakalā 🏔️ is a wahi pana - a legendary place ✨. And as wao akua (realm of the gods) 🌌, the summit area has been a place of pilgrimage 🛐, ceremony 🌺, and intentional resource extraction 🪨 since the first peoples arrived on Maui 🌊🏝️ from the ancient homeland. Kahuna (priests) 🙏 conducted protocols, hoʻokele (navigators) 🌠 studied the movements of the stars ⭐.

🌋 What is a lava tube?
As islands created by volcanoes, Hawaiʻi is criss-crossed by countless lava tubes. These underground passageways, also known as pyroducts, are formed by lava flows themselves and are capable of transporting vast quantities of lava over long distances beneath the surface. 🌊🔥
When the supply of lava stops at the end of an eruption 🌋, or if it gets diverted elsewhere, it leaves behind an empty cave. 🌌
When a lava tube is active, lava flows along its floor at temperatures exceeding 2,000º F (1090º C). 🌡️ Winds of superheated fume 🌬️ may blast through the tunnel, yet the only sound might be the constant soft hiss of the relentless flow. 🔥✨

🌋 Maui is dominated by two volcanic features: Haleakalā in the southeast 🌄 and the West Maui Mountains in the northwest ⛰️. The two are connected by an isthmus about six miles wide 🌊 that gives the island its nickname: The Valley Isle. 🌴✨
