Welcome to Walk Maui!

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).

Polynesian Voyaging Lecture at the Maui Ocean Center

On Tuesday, January 19, at 6:00 p.m., the Maui Ocean Center is hosting a free lecture about Polynesian sea voyaging with Kekai Kapu.

Kekai Kapu will speak about ancient Polynesian navigation as well as the upcoming voyage of the Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani, the sixty-two-foot double-hulled voyaging canoe that is going to circumnavigate the globe in 2012. Kapu is a board member of Hui O Wa'a Kaulua (the Assembly of the Double-hulled Canoe), a Hawai'ian cultural practioner, and an expert on Hawai'ian weaponry.

The doors open at 5:50 p.m. (enter through the Ocean Center's front gate). The lecture is slated to run about an hour.

The Maui Ocean Center is located in Ma'alaea, just off the highway. For more information about the center -- and directions -- please visit http://www.mauioceancenter.com/.
