Gone to Maui

Maui — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:51:03 +0000

Forget Polynesian paralysis! This expanded, updated edition of Hidden Maui offers so many new opportunities for adventure that readers will jump out of those poolside lounges, grab their gear, and head out looking for excitement.

Noted Hawaii travel expert Ray Riegert shows the way to every inch of the Valley Isle’s 120 miles of shoreline. He points out beaches where the sand is white, black, salt-and-pepper, green, even garnet. Then Hidden Maui plunges into the waves – describing the best way to enjoy the island’s great watersports, from sea kayaking to whale watching. Land adventures are covered in just as much detail, including biking trips down Haleakala volcano, hikes through the bird-rich Kanaha Pond wildlife sanctuary and spelunking journeys through ancient volcanic caves and over frozen lava waterfalls near Hana.

Hidden Maui reveals unique lodging and dining options too, including the quaint wooden Nona Lani cottages and the old-style bamboo-deco Kihata restaurant, where local Paia residents enjoy budget-priced Japanese food. The author also devotes separate chapters to the lesser-known Maui County islands of Molokai and Lanai.

Legends of Maui: Legends of Maui A Demi-God of Polynesia and of His Mother Hina

Maui — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:55:03 +0000

The Maui story probably contains a larger number of unique and ancient myths than that of any other legendary character in the mythology of any nation. There are three centers for these legends, New Zealand in the south, Hawaii in the north, and the Tahitian group including the Hervey Islands in the east. In each of these groups of islands, separated by thousands of miles, there are the same legends, told in almost the same way, and with very little variation in names. The Maui legends form one of the strongest links in the mythological chain of evidence which binds the scattered inhabitants of the Pacific into one people. W. D. Westervelt was also the author of Legends of Old Honolulu and Legends of Gods and Ghosts: Hawaiian Mythology. He was president of the Hawaiian Historical Society for some time.
