Hawai'i has a rich history dating back over 1,000 years. On a Walk Maui tour, you'll explore everything from the first Polynesian migrants to the modern era. Our tours are a unique way to add a fun and easy cultural component to your Maui vacation and a fantastic way to learn a little bit of the history that makes Hawai'i such a magical place.
This blog features links to news stories, events, and other activities on Maui that we think will be of interest for historically and culturally minded visitors (and kama'aina).

Gig at Moana Cafe in Pa'ia | Thursday, June 3, from 6:30-8:30PM
In addition to all the other things we do (writing history, researching, leading walking tours, etc.), Kimo is a singer/songwriter and this Thursday, June 3, he'll be showcasing his material at Moana Cafe in Pa'ia.
Many of Kimo's recent songs are steeped in Hawaiian history and myth, telling the stories of everything from sugar cane workers to famous Hawaiian legends. He also writes songs that don't have anything to do with Hawaii (or history) and will include an eclectic array of covers on guitar and ukulele.
More info about Kimo's music can be found at http://www.walkmaui.com/music.htm.
Moana Cafe is located at 71 Baldwin Avenue in Pa'ia (just mauka of the Mana parking lot). You can read more about them at http://www.moanacafe.com/
Hope to see you there!

Holo Mai Pele -- Hi‘iaka: Ka Wahinepo‘aimoku at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center
Danced by Halau O Kekui, the work is a sequel to the groundbreaking Holo Mai Pele, first presented at the MACC in 1995. The evening will combine hula, chant, drama, and storytelling to recount the tales of Pana'ewa the lizard god from Hawai'i island, Kapo'ulakina'u from the island of Maui, and the forest goddesses Ko'iahi, Mailelauli'i and Kaiona of the Waianae mountain range.
For anyone interested in Hawai'ian storytelling and/or hula, this promises to be a great night. Last time we checked, tickets were still available at all price levels (including the $12 seats in the balcony); you can check for tickets and read more about the show at the MACC's website.
