Famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who saw most of the world and then fell in love with Hana, is buried near Kipahulu in the yard of a little country church. His epitaph reads, in part: "If I take the wings of morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea..."

The Hana Highway is 52 serpentine miles from Kahului and winds around 600 curves, over 54 one-lane bridges, and through scenery straight out of a Technicolor travelogue, with waterfalls splashing beside the road, seducing swimmers to its fern-lipped plunge pools. Fruit trees dangle their offerings: mango, guava and banana. Banks of wild ginger perfume the air, and dramatic vistas unfold around every bend.

At Ke'anae, a green finger of land along the way, people still tend their taro patches while the turquoise sea crashes endlessly against a rugged lava shore. The raw beauty and wild rainforests of the coast eventually ease into the rolling, emerald-colored meadows of the Hana Ranch.

In Hana town, the pastures roll right up to the main street. The social centers are the baseball field and the two churches, where, on Sunday mornings, the hymns ring out in the old Hawaiian language and visitors are greeted with fresh flower lei.

Just down the road from town is the Kipahulu section of Haleakala National Park. This is the site of the famous Pools of 'Ohe'o where waterfalls spill into tiered pools leading to the sea. Rangers are on hand to conduct nature walks and advise about the many hiking trails through forests of bamboo, past roaring cascades into the green heart of the island.

Queen Ka'ahumanu, was the favorite wife of Kamehameha the Great. She was born in 1768 in a cave in the side of Ka'uiki, a prominent landmark known as the "fortress hill," located on the right side of Hana Bay. After Kamehameha's death in 1819, Ka'ahumanu changed Hawai'i's way of life by challenging the authority of the high priests. By eating publicly with men, she destroyed the ancient kapu (taboo) system on which the Hawaiian religious-political order was based.

In pre-western Hawai'i, many a battle was fought to claim the coveted lands and shores of Hana. Splashed by clear waters and endowed with rich reef life, Hana's beaches come in brushed gold, purest white, and gleaming jet black. One beach is even the color of crushed garnets, and another, of sparkling green olivine.

Hana is an anachronism in the 21st century: a place where tradition is alive and aloha is a way of life, where strangers are welcomed and hospitality is as prevalent as nature.

Come and be drawn into the history and beauty of Maui, Valley Isle. From the power and legend of Haleakala and Iao Valley, to the quaintness of the not so sleepy whaling town of Lahaina, Maui is an experience that will explain why the island possesses a magic that lingers in the heart and grows with the passage of time.

HALEAKALA
Haleakala, "House of the Sun," is the largest dormant volcano in the world, but there's nothing sleepy about it. It teems with power and energy; it was here at Haleakala that demi-god Maui, superman of Hawaiian myth, lassoed the sun and caused it to travel more slowly across the sky. Dramatic changes in climate, mood and vegetation occur as the road winds upward for 37 miles and swaying tropical palms give way to pines, eucalyptus, and giant, shade-giving redwoods. Rising 10,023 feet high, Haleakala's crater looks like the moon and yawns to the sun. Its flanks form rainforest, farmland, deep gulches and vertical canyons. More than 30,000 acres make up Haleakala National Park.

While appearing to be a crater, Haleakala's center is actually an eroded valley 3,000 feet deep, 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide; large enough to hold the island of Manhattan and its skyscrapers. Some of the wildlife and plants of Haleakala, such as the silversword, are found nowhere else on Earth.

IAO VALLEY
The broad green plain between the magnificently sculpted Kahalawai (West Maui Mountains) and the massive slopes of Haleakala gave Maui its nickname, "The Valley Isle." The Hawaiians called the isthmus Kulaokama'oma'o, "The Land of Mirages." Behind the sister cities of Kahului and Wailuku the land narrows and curls into the mountains forming the most magnificent valley on the island, 'Iao, Maui's Valley of the Kings. Few places in Hawai'i are more sacred. Mark Twain, in a euphoric moment, called 'Iao "The Yosemite of the Pacific."

The splendor of 'Iao Valley has been carved over the course of 10,000 lifetimes by the forces of wind and water and the flow of 'Iao's waters. Moonstones sparkle in the streambed and wild orchids cheer the banks. At the head of the valley is a natural amphitheater, the caldera of the original volcano that formed Maui. The highlight of the valley is the famous 'Iao Needle, a 1,200-foot green monolith that defies the wind and water that has formed its valley home.

LAHAINA
Take a trim, tidy New England whaling town, plunk it in the middle of the Pacific, sketch in some rainbow-crowned mountains, and add a generous helping of palm trees. Stir in the biggest Buddha outside of Asia, a banyan tree the size of a city block, and a history that reads like an epic novel, and you might come close to defining Lahaina.

This fun-loving historic town was once the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom and the seat of power for the Kamehameha dynasty in the early nineteenth century. By the mid-1800s, with as many as 400 ships at a time berthed in the harbor, spilling up to 1,500 sailors ashore, Lahaina went on to become the lusty port of the Yankee whaling fleet.

Lahaina today is a reflection of its colorful past. Approximately 55 acres of the town have been set aside as historic districts containing several sites designated as National Historical Landmarks. Among the gallant survivors are the weathered wooden buildings lining Front Street and its sidestreets. In place of grog shops and ship's outfitters, they now house boutiques, art galleries and charming seafood restaurants where the demon rum comes in polite mai tais with little paper parasols planted in wedges of pineapple.

Bring a sweater and comfortable walking shoes.

This tour is rich with history and beauty. You’ll see two of Maui’s most popular sights: Iao Valley and Lahaina Town. Iao Valley is a tranquil, lush paradise of exotic plants and natural pools. During your journey into the valley, your guide will tell you about a famous battle that occurred in the area in 1790 that changed Hawaiian history forever. Rising 2,250 feet out of the earth you’ ll see a rock pinnacle, known as “Iao Needle.” This green stone pillar was used as a natural altar in ancient times.

The top of the Iao Needle is sometimes hidden behind mist or clouds, but that often only adds to the drama of this extraordinary natural wonder. From there, you’ll head to the little historic fishing village of Lahaina. Now a mecca for shoppers and anyone seeking fun, it still harks back to the 1840s when up to four hundred whaling ships would anchor there. Check out the 110-year-old Banyan tree, the Pioneer Inn Hotel built in 1906, and the wharf’s bits of history that have been carefully preserved. Since the 1700s, when King Kamehameha made it his home, Lahaina has been a casual place of merriment. And it still is to this day.
