Promoting preservation of archaeological and cultural sites, educational tours, archaeological survey work, understanding the Hawaiian cultural landscape
Pōhaku Cultural Tours will guide you through some of Maui’s most pristine and remote cultural and archaeological locations. Our tour will take you away from mainstream activities into areas where modern day development has not yet touched. Guides will provide an interpretation of the landscape by navigating features of the land which determined the patterns and life-ways of ancient Hawaiian settlers. Guests will view rugged vistas, learn about Hawaiian archaeology, and take time to enjoy the quiet vastness, and the heart-stirring beauty of Maui.
For our excursions through the Nu`u Landing Refuge, Maui Island, Pōhaku Cultural Tours is partnered with the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust (HILT). Our company is assisting HILT with the archaeological management of this protected area, conducting background research and recording the archaeological sites–adding to the knowledge base of Hawaiian culture while at the same time providing small tour groups the opportunity learn from our explorations.
