Sensuous, Mindful Travel on Maui
Slow down. Breathe deep. Let your five senses guide you on the Road to Hana.
Feel the mana of Maui, and carry it with you long after you’ve returned home.
WHY IMMERSIVE TRAVEL ON THE ROAD TO HANA?
In Hawaiʻi we say, E mālama i ka manawa — care for the moment.
When you fully engage with what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, the memory stays with you. Later, a song, a scent, or a flavor can bring Maui rushing back to your heart.
Research shows:
Smell is one of the strongest memory triggers — a whiff of plumeria can transport you instantly.
Music unlocks emotion and memory — the sound of waves or slack-key guitar calls you back.
Multisensory moments — combining taste, touch, and sight — create the most vivid memories.
Practicing mindfulness while traveling makes your memories last longer and feel richer.
HOW IT WORKS
Each box is crafted with Aloha to help you slow down, savor local flavors, breathe in Maui’s scents, and connect with the land through guided stop-by-stop cards and surprises throughout your unforgettable journey.
Puʻuwai Aloha (Lovers Box)
Designed for couples, honeymoons, and anyone celebrating love, this box invites you to experience the Road to Hāna together.
Sensory treasures: artisan Hawaiian chocolate, plumeria-inspired scent sachets, a silky keepsake scarf, and soothing mamaki tea.
Guided moʻolelo cards: at each stop, open prompts that show you where to pause, what textures to feel, and moments to share — like a kiss in the mist of Upper Waikani or savoring lilikoi at Keʻanae.
Lasting memory: these small rituals and keepsakes help you carry Maui’s aloha and your own love story home.
ʻOno Pāʻina (Foodie Box)
For travelers who explore through flavor, this box is a feast for the senses with Maui’s sweetest, saltiest, and most ono bites.
Sensory treasures: taro chips, banana bread bites, ʻulu crackers, tropical jam, lilikoi butter, and a Kona coffee sample.
Guided moʻolelo cards: discover how to pair tastes with place — salty chips at Keʻanae with sea spray, banana bread at Wailua with the sound of waterfalls, coffee aroma as you rest along the coast.
Lasting memory: take home recipes and flavor notes to recreate a taste of Maui in your own kitchen.
ʻOhana Leʻaleʻa (Family Box)
Created for keiki (kids) and families, this box turns each stop into a playful adventure where everyone gets involved.
Sensory treasures: local fruit leathers, ginger chews for the winding road, tropical trail mix, island-scented bubbles, and smooth lava rock keepsakes.
Guided moʻolelo cards: scavenger-hunt style prompts at each stop — find three colors at Waiʻānapanapa, count bamboo sounds at Pipiwai, or snack on trail mix under rainbow eucalyptus.
Lasting memory: includes a small ʻohana journal so kids can sketch, press leaves, or jot notes, creating a keepsake for the whole family to look back on.
