Mālama Maui

In West Maui, recent wildfires have resulted in the devastating loss of loved ones, homes, cultural and historical sites and businesses. However, as Lahaina recovers, respectful travel to all other areas of Maui is welcome - now more than ever.

With the exception of Lahaina, we encourage your clients to visit the rest of Maui mindfully, as well as the other Hawaiian Islands. Your clients’ time in Hawaiʻi will bolster the local economy and positively impact Maui’s road to recovery.

We recognize the use of linguistic markings of the (modern) Hawaiian language including the ‘okina [‘] or glottal stop and the kahakō [ō] or macron (e.g., in place names of Hawai‘i such as Lāna‘i). We acknowledge that individual businesses listed on this site may not use the ‘okina or kahakō, but we recognize the importance of using these markings to preserve the indigenous language and culture of Hawaiʻi and use them in all forms of communications.
