Scooping up sunshine at Coconut Glens in Hana! ☀️ 🍨
This isn't your average ice cream adventure - meet ube (pronounced oo-beh), a purple dream made from Filipino purple yam.(Think sweet potato meets vanilla with a hint of coconut!).

Don't let the color fool you, this creamy concoction is unlike anything you've ever tasted and the chocolate chunk is the perfect sidekick for this unique ice cream spot we rarely miss!❤️

We’re famously known for our incredible guides, and for good reason. They're the heart and soul of every Road to Hana adventure and take hosting to the next level. We’ve meticulously chosen a team unlike any other and today we're putting the spotlight on one of them! 🌸

Aloha Leah! 🤙
Nature enthusiast, artist, and adventure guide, Leah isn't your average tour operator. When she's not sharing the wonders of Maui with visitors, you might find her barefoot on Baldwin Beach or chasing hidden waterfalls.

Growing up in a small Minnesota town, Leah always felt a deep connection to nature, a pull that eventually led her to paradise.

With 8 years of henna artistry under her belt, Leah brings a creative touch to her tours. She loves getting to know her guests, their passions, and the experiences they hope to take home. For younger adventurers, Leah is a pro at educating and keeping them engaged!

She believes in the power of nature to inspire and rejuvenate, and hopes every guest leaves her tours with a deeper sense of peace and a heart brimming with creative energy.

With 10 years of experience as a nanny, she's a natural with kids and ensures every guest has a blast exploring Maui!
Leah's mantra? Follow your heart's passions! We couldn't agree more.

Get ready to explore Maui with the best in the business! Trade white knuckles for wide smiles – your Magic of Maui Experience-awaits! ✨

This grass roots, filling in the huge gaps, effort could not be possible without you. The needs change minute by minute and we are staying on top of them in order to get the funds to the people who need it most. Part of that is investigating false information or dated information that we see going around. Although I have fortunately not run across any dishonesty, and am more seeing information that has been incorrect as rumors fly around and information gets skewed. One example is a post we saw about Kula and the water situation. Kula’s (upcountry) water is not safe to drink and donations have been sent to various hubs up there. The post was stating that they desperately need more and to deliver to Kula lodge immediately. I was about to drop everything and head to Costco to get 275 gallon totes and bring up there but thought since I know the manager of Kula Lodge, it might be good to call first. I’m glad I did as I was informed that they had plenty of water and volunteers. By us not calling and checking in, we could have wasted over 3 hours of time that could have been helping other people. Just a friendly helpful tip if you see a post or hear something about what is needed, make sure you do a little researching into it as when the post was created, they may have received a flood of donations and are overwhelmed. If you have posted something that is not relevant anymore, please go back and take it down to avoid confusion. There so much going around out there and we want to be as efficient as we can. We are all trying to do our best as most of us are not disaster relief experts. These are some things that I have learned along the way from my experiences and from talking with my sister who sees these things happen all the time when she does this work.
Here is what we have been up to these past 2 days.
Met and interviewed Dani at the donation site at Maalaea Harbor
While we were up there, we realized we hadn’t eaten all morning so stopped in at Tantes to grab food. The place was empty and we were the only customers at lunch time. Everyone there was so kind and smiling. Our waitress was so lovely and we soon learned that her pregnant daughter escaped the fires with her 3 other children and gave birth the day before yesterday. She was supposed to have a baby shower for her daughter and had no time to get anything for her. We gifted her a Target card so she could get her daughter and grandkids the things they needed.
We then headed to Home Depot to meet up with some people that were buying supplies to set up kitchens on the west side and needed water for showering and drinking. We met a bad ass woman named Pasha who is handling! We followed her to Costco and bought 2, 275 gallon water totes for her to deliver over to the West side and also gave her some of the cards to give to people there because that day access to the west side was very restricted. While in the parking lot at Home Depot, I met 2 journalists from the LA times and gave an interview about how local businesses will be affected if they keep telling people not to come here. I made friends with them and today and driving them to the west side to meet with my Hawaiian Ohana so they can tell their stories. I will be bringing gift cards and cash to distribute to anyone who is in need.
We also visited the War memorial shelter where my friend was volunteering and gave $100 to a single mom there that escaped the fire with her children. She moved here only 3 weeks ago and has no support.
Yesterday we gathered donated suitcases, sunglasses, and readers for those moving out of the shelters. They have nothing to contain the small amount of belongings for the move.
Floods of messages have come in from so many including dozens of previous tour guests. I have been trying to keep up and respond back to each of you and it’s taking quite a chunk of time. Please follow my posts and I will do my best to update when I can. Thank you all so much for each donation. Every card we give out is met with tears and hugs. Love you!
Here again is the Venmo if you want to keep this awesomeness going. Please share with anyone you know. 🙏🌎❤️

THANK YOU to you all who donated so far! We are getting the Target cards (not Costco as they have no where to put anything) out to the survivors who are have lost everything and are still at the shelters with no support.
We go out again today.
If you feel called to help in this way, please send to this Venmo and I will make sure these cards get directly in the hands of the people who need them.
