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.

Check out these stunning shots by Francis Jamilla!
Francis dropped by Kanahā Pond, saw the Hawaiian stilts, Pacific Golden plovers, and black-crowned night herons, but then was startled by "a pair of nēnē that flew in onto the short causeway to the sporting blind."
That light is just bonkers!
Any birders that feel like exploring Maui nature over the winter season will want to be in touch soon, as our birding trips are popular and filling up with, well, snowbirds. 🙂
Mahalo nui loa, thanks very much, for these nēnē images, Francis!

Did you see this?
Fortunately the Hawaiian stilts in the pond seem to be able to go about bird biz as usual, but yeah, it was weird!
😳
"A pond in Hawaii has turned so bubble-gum pink it could be from the set of “Barbie,” but the bizarre phenomenon is no cause for a dance party. Drought may be to blame for the strange hue, scientists say, and they’re warning against entering the water or drinking it."

ʻIao Valley is the valley of the kings (and queens) on Maui, and the site of a major, major battle between Hawaiian Chiefs. Come explore Maui nature with us and we'll make our way across the island chatting about history, geology, music, politics, food, the water cycle, plate technonics, you name it. Or nothing!

🎶 But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I'm city born, but I love the country life...
To paraphrase Don McLean.
Um, what do you have planned for Thanksgiving week? Would you like to spend it in the wao akua, the high realm of the gods?
