For those who truly seek a first-hand experience of Hawaiian culture Hina Adventures offers an exclusive tour of a working cultural restoration project of an ahupua'a, an ancient land district running from the mountains to the sea. Set in a beautiful valley of the less-traveled Wai’anae Volcano this site encompasses a vast network of ancient rock terracing, partially restored into a working taro farm and cultural center. This valley was once an important agricultural resource for the ancient Hawaiians and the site of momentous historical events as well as rich in the colorful legends and myths of Hawaii.
On this interactive cultural tour you’ll have a chance to explore the cultural center and the restoration farm, participate in Hawaiian crafts and take a short hike back through the valley and rock terracing to an ancient spring, nestled under the tallest peak on the island of Oahu. You’ll also learn the fascinating lore and legends of the area, explore the science, skills and beliefs of the ancient Hawaiians and learn how this knowledge is being revived and recovered today.
This tour will give you an authentic glimpse back in time to ancient Hawaii and insight into the issues facing Hawaiians in the modern world today.
Optional: A stop at a beautiful Wai’anae beach on the return journey for a refreshing swim.
