Aloha Magazine - Polynesian Adventure Tours, Maui
 
   
The Road to Paradise begins and ends in Hana, Maui.
The road to paradise is not for novices. Professionals from Polynesian Adventures negotiate your tour through more than 600 hairpin turns and 54 one lane bridges to arrive at a time and place most have never seen – the town of Hana, Maui. This sleepy town has been secluded from the mainstream jet setter life style of Maui and remains home to many native Hawaiians. Over the years, the secret has been shared with mainlanders and Hana, Maui has become a retreat for celebrities looking for serenity in paradise.
Jeff guided our tour along the paradise road, highlighting Maui’s natural wonders – waterfalls, beaches, caves, natural pools through the large viewing windows of our tour bus, stopping to concentrate on scenic areas and finally arriving in beautiful Hana town. Jeff was familiar with the flora and fauna indigenous to this area and helped us to understand the importance of protecting and preserving our natural resources.
The tour includes lunch in a relaxed and communal setting which gave us plenty of time to socialize and get to know each other.

Hana Legend - Noenoe Ua Kea O Hana - Hana's scenic beauty was first discovered by Maui, the Demi-god whose favorite scene was watching the gray misty rain roll off the ocean and sprinkle Hana Bay with rainbows. When Maui's daughter was born he named her after his favorite vision, Noenoe Ua Kea O Hana, which means the misty, light rain of Hana. Noenoe loved the ocean and spent a lot of her time there. One day she met a young man named Ka'uiki, an adopted son of the menehunes. He was protected by the menehunes because they thought of him as a gift from Kanaloa, the sea god. As their eyes met, Ka'uiki and Noenoe fell instantly in love. They both knew they could never have a future together because Ka'uiki would one day have to return to the sea. Noenoe pleaded with her father to use his magical powers to keep them together forever. Maui knew he would lose his daughter, but was torn by the pain in Noenoe's eyes. He reluctantly turned Ka'uiki into a high hill overlooking Hana bay and Noenoe into the misty rain, her name sake. Maui knew he could always watch Noenoe Ua Kea O Hana with a smile knowing his daughter would live happily ever after. To this day the Noenoe Ua Kea O Hana can be seen coming off the ocean to gently embrace Ka'uiki Hill.
