Hawaii Nature Center

Hawaii Nature Center has been fostering appreciation and awareness for Maui’s remarkable ecosystem through educational programs, guided outdoor walks, and community outreach programs since 1981. This educational and eco-friendly institution, nestled in the heart of the beautiful Ioa Valley, has reached out to thousands of Hawaii’s residents and visitors by providing exceptional experiences set in a natural environment.

The Interactive Nature Museum and Rainforest Walk are two favorite visitor activities. On the guided rainforest walk, visitors are lead down ancient footpaths across the breathlessly beautiful Iao Stream while a guide engages walkers with Hawaiian folklore and legends. Meanwhile visitors are free to take in the native vegetation and the historic remains of an ancient Hawaiian habitation. This is a culturally rich tour which focuses on celebrating the natural Hawaiian landscape through education and observance.

Visitors should make sure they stop at the Interactive Nature Museum, a leisurely capstone after an invigorating rainforest walk. Here at this museum, guests can view and play with hands-on exhibits which explore Hawaiian insect life, rainforest ecology and the topography of the Ioa Valley. The museum also features several water exhibits, some which contain touch pools and aquariums filled with native stream-life.

Hawaiian Nature Center is an educational institution with a variety of activities designed to appeal to residents and travelers of all types and ages; a perfect place to explore with family, and also ideal for anyone who desires to know what makes Maui one of the beautiful places on this earth.
