“Well done on the hike and oli. I like the way you selected and organized your stops along the way and you did not talk too much! My experience as a tour guide is that often there is info overload for our adult visitors. It is best to select the stories and plants etc. for better retention and leave the rest to quiet reflection and input from the ambiance we which to cherish, or mālama.”

“Thanks so much for showing my students Waikamoi Preserve. It was an experience we all look back on fondly and will remember for a long time. The hike also really helped the kids understand the impact invasive species have on Maui. They mention it in their work Regularly.”
