l Cultural celebration

You’re here in Hawai‘i and the one thing that’s a must-do before leaving is to experience a culturally invigorating, authentic lu‘au (Hawaiian feast). The variety of lu‘au mentioned here all offer visitors an evening of good food, and lively hula and polynesian dance performances, leaving you with the feeling of ‘ohana (family) before the end of the night. When entering the grounds, guests are greeted with a friendly “aloha,” lei, tropical beverage and just maybe a spectacular sunset. If offered, take part in ancient Hawaiian games, cultural activities, and see the unearthing of the pig from the ‘imu (underground oven). And should you be invited to join the dancers onstage, don’t be shy, because it’s all part of the lu‘au experience!

Enjoy a tasty buffet feast, hip-shakin’ hula, crafts and more at a

u‘au!

DukeThe Father of International Surfing anda look at Hawai‘i’s Surfing Stars Today

The Past Born on August 24, 1890, Duke Kahanamoku was raised in Waikiki. There, he attended grammar school and spent his days with beachboys, eventually forming Hui Nalu or “Club of the Waves.” Discovered “swimming like a fish” at Sans Souci Beach by William T. Rawlins, 21-year-old Kahanamoku gained an enthusiastic first coach. Kahanamoku broke the world record in 100-yard freestyle by 4.6 seconds on August 11, 1911 in a swimming competition held at Honolulu Harbor. On the same day, he went on to break the world record for the 50-yard freestyle swim. Kahanamoku’s Olympic aspirations resulted in a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle competition at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. He repeated the win at the Antwerp games in 1920.

The Present Today, surfing remains deeply rooted in the local culture, much to the credit of the native Hawaiians and undeniably, Duke Kahanamoku. It has produced many local surfing professionals including two of Hawai‘i’s recent success stories, Carissa Moore and John John Florence. Honolulu surfer girl, Carissa Moore, 19, was recognized as the 2011 ASP Women’s World Tour Champion. In 2007 at the Roxy Pro Competition in Australia, she was the youngest-ever finalist. In fact, Moore has been the youngest competitor in all the competitions she’s won. North Shore local boy, John John Florence, 19, is another surf talent. Earlier this year John John won the 2012 Volcom Pipe Pro, and this past December after competing in his first-ever Vans Triple Crown, Florence became the youngest surfer to win the overall title—the most sought after title in the surfing world.

Famed surfer, swimmer and Olympic gold

medalist Duke Kahanamoku became

known as ‘The Father of International Surfing,’ and

was credited for introducing surfingaround the world.

Top athletes compete in a week-long series of events at the 11th Annual Duke’s OceanFest,Waikiki’s premier ocean sports festival

Discover & Learn About Hawai‘i’s HistoryLocated in the historic Kalihi district of Honolulu, Bishop Museum, named after Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, was founded in 1889 and built by her husband, Charles Reed Bishop, in honor of his wife. Charles wished to preserve his wife’s royal heirlooms that had been passed down to him after her death. To this day, the Bishop Museum is recognized as home to the world’s largest collection of Polynesian cultural and scientific artifacts. While visiting the museum, stop by the various exhibition halls including the Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center, which is a 16,500-square-foot facility that provides interactive exhibits on the geology that shaped these islands.

Visit a Hawaiian Jewelry Design CenterMaui Divers Jewelry was founded in 1958 and today it remains the largest jewelry manufacturer and retailer in Hawai‘i. Take a 20-minute tour of the design center where you’ll get a first-look at the exhibit area. Here, see the unique coral trees in their natural state and hear the story of the yacht bound for Tahiti, and how its fateful voyage played a special part in Maui Divers’ history. Also learn about the challenges of the search and discovery of Hawai‘i’s rare and precious corals including the Hawaiian Black Coral, as well as the rare Hawaiian Gold Coral. You’ll also view a short film, highlighting the harvesting of coral and get to see designers and skilled artisans at work on intricate jewelry pieces.

Explore Kualoa’s Vast ValleyEstablished in 1850, Kualoa was created as a 4,000-acre working cattle ranch. It was also once a place that was sacred to the ancient Hawaiians, a residence for the kings, a place of refuge, and a training ground for royalty. In Hawaiian, kualoa means “long back,” which describes the ranch’s beautiful mountain peaks and lush valleys. Today, Kualoa is located on the windward side of O‘ahu. Take a journey through its vast landscape on an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle), where you’ll cross streams to reach scenic valleys and remote areas rarely visited by others. You can also explore Kualoa by horseback and go to see “Secret Island”—an ancient fishpond—that can be accessed by boat.

King Kamehameha Day The Kamehameha Dynasty King Kamehameha I established a dynasty that ruled the Hawaiian Islands for more than a century. His descendants would rule uncontested until the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom in 1893. Legend has it that his auspicious birth coincided with the appearance of Halley’s Comet as it streaked across the sky. Soothsayers of the age saw it as a sign of impending greatness for a man who would unify the Hawaiian Islands (1810) under one rule.

The Prophecy Shortly after Kamehameha’s (pronounced kuh-meh-hah-meh-hah) birth, a holy man (kahuna) warned of this “rebel infant” who would be a slayer of chiefs and recommended that the baby be put to death. Kamehameha’s grandfather, King Alapa‘i, complied with the warning, but not before priests hid the infant in a cave in North Kohala on the Big Island where he was raised in secret by surrogate parents. Word of the child’s survival didn’t get back to Alapa‘i until several years later, at which time Kamehameha was allowed back into the royal court. By the 1780s, Kamehameha had risen in the ranks to become an important chief on the island of Hawai‘i where he first consolidated his power. The shadow of the prophecy had followed him throughout his young life and within 25 years, the “one set apart,” had fulfilled it. He launched brutal and bloody campaigns that resulted in the complete consolidation of power and earned him the title of King Kamehameha the Great.

The Napoleon of the Pacific Among his many accomplishments, Kamehameha created the Law of the Splintered Paddle, which protected the common man from murder, theft and plundering by chiefs. He also wisely divided the conquered lands among his high chiefs in detached parcels to diffuse the possibility of rebellion and to create an enduring peace across the land.

In 1871 King Kamehameha V proclaimed King

Kamehameha Day in honor of his great grandfather, King

Kamehameha I. The first such holiday was celebrated on June 11, 1872. It was also

one of the first holidays proclaimed in 1959 when Hawai‘i became a state. This year it will again be

observed on June 11.

•Friday, June 8 - STATUE LEI-DRAPING CEREMONY (ALI‘IOLANI HALE, DOWNTOWN HONOLULU). From 3:30 p.m., the statue of King Kamehameha I will be decorated with 13-foot-long floral lei, created on-site throughout the day by volunteers. Music and hula performances add to the colorful display. A very memorable photo op!

•Saturday, June 9 - 96TH ANNUAL KING KAMEHAMEHA CELEBRATION FLORAL PARADE (DOWNTOWN HONOLULU TO WAIKIKI). This year’s theme is “Wahine Holo Lio—Honoring the Noble Tradition of Pa‘u Riding.” From 9 a.m., colorful floral floats, marching bands and pa‘u riders take to the streets in the longest parade in Hawai‘i. It begins at King and Richards Streets in downtown Honolulu, continues on Punchbowl St., onto Ala Moana Blvd. then merges into Kalakaua Ave., ending at Queen Kapi‘olani Park for the King Kamehameha Ho‘olaule‘a. Awards presentation follows. Craft demonstrations and food booths, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. *For King Kamehameha Day events on Maui, the Big of Hawai‘i and Kaua‘i, see page 31.

Head to eastern Maui for a scenic drive along Hana Highway—Maui’s

only coastal rainforest accessible by car. Check

out waterfalls, coastal overlooks and a lush tropical environment.

Visit one of the few natural wetlands

remaining in the Hawaiian Islands. Here you can

engage in bird watching while taking many scenic

and memorable photos of the surrounding

environment.

Check out a spectacular live coral display, see

sharks, rays, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and

other marine life up close. Also learn more about

the marine life through a digital audio guide or

naturalist.

Take a nice stroll on Front Street, the main

thoroughfare in Lahaina. The street is lined with restaurants, shops, art

Journey through Maui’s magical landscape and see why residents believe that “Maui no ka oi!” (Maui is the best!). The island is the birthplace of

Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine, and in 2011, Conde Nast Traveler magazine voted Maui as the number one island

in the world! Experience all that this island has to offer: take a horseback tour through Haleakala Crater, snorkel

the pristine waters of Molokini or enjoy an evening lu‘au—it is then you’ll see why this island is so loved by

its residents.

Haleakala National Park is a U.S. National Park where the land covers an area of 30,183 acres. It’s situated on a dormant volcano that rises 10,023 feet above sea level and measures 3,000 feet deep with a 21-mile circumference. Haleakala (House of the Sun) is the highest point on Maui. Here, discover rare endangered plants such as the Haleakala silversword; the endangered nene (Hawaiian goose), Hawai‘i’s state bird; and cinder cones. Explore the park along numerous hiking trails too.

Maui offers activities for people of all ages and fitness levels. Traverse the terrain of Haleakala National Park; climb up to a Mountain Outpost then zipline over Maui’s lush greenery for almost two miles; drive along the Hana Coast then hike to check out local sights and landmarks; or discover Maui by horseback. So,

what makes Maui so special? The island offers a diverse range of activities for everyone to experience why, “Maui No Ka ‘Oi!” why “Maui, is the best!”

Face New Heights on an Outdoor Adventure!Explore new heights with Kapalua Adventures. Once you reach the Mountain Outpost, located 1,400-feet above sea level, you’ll launch onto an exhilarating zipline ride—one of the country’s largest ziplines, nearly two miles long—where you will see scenic views of West Maui and Lana‘i. Each of the ziplines runs parallel alongside the other, enabling two riders to zip side-by-side—great for friends and family! It also cuts time in half, spent waiting for other riders. Check out various zipline tour packages that feature up to seven zipline courses, combo tours and additional activities including the “5 Zip Line Tour with Giant Swing.” Unique to the islands, the two-person Giant Swing pulls riders up to a maximum height of 40 feet, where guests then self-release down and across the valley, experiencing the thrill of free-falling, while enjoying scenic views of the island. Also walk along the longest suspension bridge in Hawai‘i, up to 130-feet high in some spots, and 360-feet long. At the end of your day, you’ll remember all the excitement of your sky-high adventures above Maui.

This half-day journey also includes a beachside lunch at one of Hana’s black sand beaches, an opportunity to see a quaint Hawaiian Village at Keanae peninsula, and a stroll through enchanting Kakala Gardens—breathe in the fragrances of the surrounding tropical flowers! Visitors will then return in an air-conditioned helicopter, viewing hidden waterfalls and pristine rainforests as they soar high above Haleakala Crater.

Once you’ve descended the dormant volcano, your tour guide will introduce you to the picturesque town of Wailuku, known for its sugar cane fields and the landmark Ka‘ahumanu Church.

Today, enjoy a four-wheel adventure on an ATV tour with Waipi‘o RideTheRim. True to the company name, you’ll “ride along the rim” of Waipi‘o Valley and pass through eucalyptus forests on a three-hour journey that will also take you to the top of Waipi‘o, where you will see lush scenery and panoramic views.

Hike Through A Tropical Rainforest, Enjoy a Zipline Tour!Let Hawaii Forest & Trail lead you on a tour that takes you to two very different environments—a tropical rainforest and a dryland forest.

This year marks 100 years for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), and similarly, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park also has reason to celebrate as the United States Mint will feature the park on a commemorative 2012 quarter. Here’s a brief look at the important role of HVO over the past century and how they’re celebrating their many achievements.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory: Who? What? Why?The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory celebrates its 100th anniversary of research and monitoring, tracking eruptions and earthquakes. Located on the rim of Kilauea Volcano’s summit caldera within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, HVO—the first volcano observatory in the United States—monitors the seismic and volcanic activity of six Hawaiian volcanoes including Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the most active volcanoes in the world. Kilauea has erupted 48 times on HVO’s watch, with a nearly continuous flank eruption since 1983, and an ongoing summit eruption since 2008. Mauna Loa—the largest volcano on Earth—has erupted 12 times in the same period, most recently in 1984, when lava flowed to within about four miles of the Hilo city limits. “Volcanic activity and its associated earthquakes are responsible for Hawai‘i’s fertile soil, rainfall, isolated habitat for unique species, breathtaking natural beauty, but also, unfortunately, its geologic hazards,” said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. HVO’s timely and effective warnings help protect the public from these volcanic and seismic hazards—a key mission since the start of the Observatory’s work with the collaboration of Massachusetts Institute of Technology geologist, Thomas A. Jaggar and pioneer volcanologist, Frank Perret. For a century, HVO has also been an international leader in volcanological studies and a magnet for researchers from around the globe. Among other breakthroughs, HVO scientists confirmed that earthquakes and volcanic tremors are closely related to volcanic activity. They installed the first seismic network in the USGS and determined the composition of volcanic gases and their role in driving eruptions. They also pioneered the measurement and

It was designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Charles L. Vickers. “We are extremely honored that Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park was selected by the United States Mint to represent our state on the America the Beautiful quarter, and that they solicited our design input,” said Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park Superintendent

l Explore Paradise today!

The Garden Isle

Kaua‘iExperience its lush landscape!

See the rich colors and vibrant green valleys as you venture through breathtaking Kaua‘i.

The island is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands, sustaining fertile land, while also boasting some of the

state’s most captivating views. Whether you kayak the Hule‘ia River, take a flightsee tour above Waimea

Canyon or enjoy a leisurely cruise along the Napali Coast, be sure to make the most of your time on the

“Garden Isle.”

>Hanalei Pier

Discover Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, the second

highest point on the island boasting walls

cloaked in emerald green. A helicopter tour

promises guests an unforgettable journey.

Check out the lighthouse at Kilauea

Point and surrounding views. The lighthouse was built in 1913 as

a beacon for traveling ships. Today, the point is one of Kaua‘i’s most

visited sites.

Head to the North Shore where you’ll come across

a breathtaking lookout of an emerald valley filled with taro fields.

Taro, also known as kalo in Hawaiian, is used to make poi, a Hawaiian

staple starch.

Venture to Waimea Canyon and learn about the canyon’s landscape

and history. Waimea, which in Hawaiian

translates to “reddish water,” refers to the

canyon’s red soil.

Cruise Down Canyon RoadExperience an exhilarating bike ride with Outfitters Kauai on Koke‘e Road-Highway 552, one of the roads leading into Waimea Canyon. The tour starts at the rim of the canyon at 3,600 feet and takes riders down 12 miles to sea level.

Book online at PleasantActivities.com for all your land adventures or talk to one of our professionals! Call 1-888-229-7770.

You’ll be in awe at the rainbow of colors along the canyon walls of the spectacular Waimea Canyon, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Smaller than Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Waimea Canyon is still an inspiring natural wonder.

Soar Over Waimea Canyon Let Sunshine Helicopters take you soaring above Kaua‘i where you’ll see breathtaking views of Waimea Canyon, Mount Wai‘ale‘ale (known as one of the wettest spots on earth), Wailua Falls and the dramatic Napali coastline.

Spend your Monday and Thursday evenings with Oceanside Productions where you’ll enjoy a three-course sit-down dinner, followed by a 90-minute show. Three professional actors take the stage and fill the night with comedy including fast-moving slapstick humor. On Monday nights check out “The Complete History of America, Abridged,” on Thursday nights, see Hollywood’s greatest moments in “Completely Hollywood, Abridged.” Come Tuesday, bring your family and friends to Ali‘i Lani Dinner Show, where a lei greeting and cultural demonstrations featuring coconut husking and pareo tying, will kick off the night.

Napali in Hawaiian translates to “the cliffs,” and the people who witness its stunning grandeur are always left in awe. Carved by wind and sea, and spared from development, the remote Napali is intriguing, enchanting and possibly your best vacation memory waiting to happen.

Cruise the Napali CoastIf you’re looking for Hawai‘i’s wilderness, the Napali Coast is it! It’s the most inaccessible and uninhabited area of the state. A mix of enormous spatial proportions, this Eden is a remarkably rugged stretch of coastline marked by towering sea cliffs. Lush valleys that seem to “hang” between razor-sharp cliffs like an unfolding

The Beautiful

Napali Coast

accordion are full of endemic plants, history and sweeping views. Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the Garden Isle’s most dramatic sights, so make reservations for your Napali Coast adventure: Blue Dolphin Charters, Catamaran Kahanu, Holo Holo Charters and Kauai Sea Tours.

Snorkel & SailGaze upon the 3,500-foot heights of the Napali cliffs when you cruise with Catamaran Kahanu. On the “Na Pali 5-hour Snorkel tour” enjoy swimming, snorkeling and lunch at Nu‘alolo Kai, a beautiful and pristine protected reef area where you will see Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and colorful reef fish. As for what to bring, plan your tour as if you were spending a day at the beach. Come dressed with your swimwear on under your shorts and a T-shirt or cover-up. Since you will be barefoot while on board the catamaran, it is advised to wear slip-on slippers. And as the sun goes down, head out on the memorable “5-hour Sunset Dinner Cruise.” The Napali Coast is a sight to be enjoyed from sea level!

Enjoy views of the majestic Napali Coast from the water.
