Visitors discover the roots of malama ‘aina in Ha‘ena
T
he earliest Polynesians on Kaua‘i believed that it was their responsibility to malama ‘aina, to care for the land as one would care for their own family. That long tradition of stewardship isn’t lost on Kawika Winter, Director of the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Limahuli Garden and Preserve in Ha‘ena. “Malama ‘aina is definitely a concept followed by the ancestors, and is something we find very relevant in today’s world. The things that were developed in Hawai‘i worked very well. Instead of creating a new system, we just need to look back to what worked for hundreds of years,” Winter said. “We’re just trying to get back to that — more in-tune with things. The concept of malama ‘aina is one part of that.” In the shadow of Makana Mountain, near where the highway ends at Ke‘e beach, the lush Limahuli Valley has become a time capsule, an echo of old Hawai‘i, and the highlight of many a vacation. Spanning three distinct ecological zones, the area is home to hundreds of varie-ties of Hawai‘i’s tropical flora, some of which only exist within its emerald walls. The valley is also home to numerous ancient cultural sites, lo‘i kalo (terraces for growing taro), and popular Limahuli Garden and Preserve. Limahuli Garden, the space visitors are most familiar with, runs both mauka and makai of the main road. Part of The National Tropical Botanical Gardens, it includes a selfguided, three-quarter-mile loop trail that leads visitors through the grounds. (Guided tours are also available.) In addition to learning about native Kaua‘i plants such as papala kepau and hala (screwpine), visitors to the garden become familiar with many of the Polynesian-introduced flora, including ‘ulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), mai‘a (banana), ko (sugar cane), ‘awapuhi (shampoo ginger), kukui (candlenut — the Hawai‘i state tree) and ‘awa (kava). In Hawaiian, the word Limahuli translates to “turning hands,” a fit-
ting name for land that has been worked as a garden for hundreds of years. When the early journeymen Polynesians settled on Kaua‘i, archaeologists believe that the fertile Limahuli Valley was one of the first places they inhabited. But the island they discovered looked vastly different than the Kaua‘i we know today. As the volcanic Hawaiian chain evolved hundreds of miles away from the nearest land mass, very few plants found their way here without the aid of man. Scientists believe that only 240 insects, 15 land birds, 135 ferns, and 291 flowering plants were established in the islands prior to the first Polynesian canoe landing on its shores around 200 A.D. In order to survive in their new home, the settlers began to propagate the plants they had brought with them from afar, often appropriately referred to as “canoe crops.” One of the most important plants was taro, known as kalo to the early Hawaiians. Water was diverted from Limahuli Stream, which begins 3,300 feet above sea-level and includes an 800-foot waterfall, to feed the crops. The lo‘i kalo, seen near the visitor’s center today, have been dated at more than 700 years old. Moving forward many decades, it was kama‘aina Mrs. Juliet Rice Wichman in 1976 that turned what is now the 17-acre Limahuli Garden over to the NTBG, with the hope that future generations could enjoy a glimpse of the Hawai‘i that once was. Her grandson, Charles “Chipper” Wichman, donated an additional 985 acres in 1994, which became Limahuli Preserve, the acreage above the lower valley. The valley property is so extensive that plants thought lost to extinction have actually been rediscovered there. Koli‘o Ke‘eok‘e, Kaua‘i’s native white hibiscus, was thought to have been wiped out until massive 30-foot-tall trees were uncovered deep within the Limahuli Preserve by the NTBG staff in 1976. In the spirit of Mrs. Wichman’s gift, the goal of the non-profit Limahuli Garden has been to preserve the valley as a living classroom in order SEE GARDEN, PAGE 2

Your One Stop for Adventure while on Kauai.
Outfitters Kauai has been an innovative adventure company since they first opened their doors in 1988. First on the action menu was Ocean Kayaking along the majestic Na Pali Coast during the summer months and Ocean Kayaking on the South Shore from Poipu to Glass Beach during the winter months while the amazing Humpback Whales are around. For a fun workout
and way to see a special waterfall, try their Wailua River Jungle Waterfall Kayak Trek. The Wailua River is famous for its gorgeous scenery and history rich past. For something a little easier try the guided tour on the Hule’ia River. Kayak one way upstream with the wind to your back, hike to a fun rope swing and get a motor boat ride back down the river at the end of the tour. Another cool way to see the Hule’ia River and some great jungle hiking is on their Stand Up Paddle tours. In 1994 they began their Waimea Canyon Bicycle Downhill Tour, an adventure unique to Outfitters Kauai
only. In 2003, Outfitters Kauai’s owner, Rick Haviland, inspired by a National Geographic article about canopy tours in Costa Rica, constructed and opened Kauai’s first zipline. They now have three zipline course options covering beginning, intermediate and advanced. Their diverse course is on beautiful Kipu Ranch, 4000 acres of diverse terrain with scenery made famous in movies like Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and the Descendants to name a few. For the ultimate family day,
Outfitters Kauai offers a magical combination tour called the Kipu Ranch Zipline Safari. This tour combines kayaking, hiking, Ziplining, movie tour information, lunch, swimming and some of the best photo opportunities on the island.

Bruce was from California, Louise a native of Tubuai ( Austral Islands, French Polynesia) which is just south of Tahiti. Louise is a descendant of Tahiti Royalty in the lineage of King Tomatoa. Bruce and Louise met in Tahiti, fell in love and got married. They decided to move to the beautiful island of Kauai where they opened a small diner. After the restaurant achieved some success, they added a small curio shop adjacent to the restaurant. Many years later Christian, Bruce and Louise’s son, continues the tradition that both locals and visitors cherish. Over the years, Tahiti Nui has had many changes but the one thing that remains constant is the atmosphere –a mix of aloha, good service, great food and infamous drinks that people from over the world have come to love. Over the years, the family has added Tiki Man Pizza, Tahiti Nui Wine Bar and even a Luau… In the back of Tahiti Nui, you’ll find Tiki Man Pizza where the Huli Chicken and Kalua Pork pizza rules. Thin crust is the specialty and the crust is brushed in their secret garlic butter. Enjoy your pizza on the lanai and listen to live music nightly.
