Picture this: about half a million years ago, a flock of Canada geese on a journey got way off track. They ended up in a place no Canada goose had ever seen—Hawai'i! These adventurous travelers were about to kick off a major transformation, evolving into three different species, including the nēnē, also known as the Hawaiian goose. These early geese were the ancestors of today’s nēnē, but a few quirks make them distinctly Hawaiian. They didn’t fly south for the winter and found their new lava-filled world so appealing they decided to stay and settle down.

The nēnē might look a little like the Canada goose, but don’t let that fool you—they’ve developed some unique features just for life in Hawai'i. First off, they’ve traded in some of their webbing

West Maui is not just a stunning vacation destination; it’s also home to Pu'u Kukui, the peak of Mauna Kahālāwai and a rare sanctuary sprawling nearly 10,000 acres. Translating to "hill of enlightenment," it is revered as one of the rainiest places on Earth, second only to Kauai's Waiʻaleʻale.

 Located on Maui's rugged southern coast, La Perouse Bay offers a striking blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Known to the locals as Keone’o’io Bay, this area serves as a vivid reminder of Maui's volcanic past and cultural richness.

The bay is the site of the most recent volcanic activity on Maui, with the last lava flows dating back to around 1790, not from Haleakalā’s summit but from its southwest rift zones. This historic eruption left behind a stark landscape of rough lava rocks, creating a natural barrier that has preserved the area’s secluded charm.

On May 29, 1786, French Admiral Jean-Francois de Galaup La Perouse became the first Westerner to set foot on Maui, landing at Keone’o’io Bay. His arrival marked the beginning
