" A n interminable language...it is one of the oldest living languages of the earth, as some conjecture, and may well be classed among the best ...the thought to displace it, or to doom it to oblivion by substituting the English language, ought not for a moment to be indulged. L ong live the grand old, sonorous, poetical Hawaiian language." ~The Rev. Lorenzo Lyons(Makua Laiana), 1878, composer of "Hawai`i Aloha" , missionary. Why Learn Hawaiian? 20 Pono Reasons T he reasons to learn and cherish the Hawaiian language are many and varied. Ultimately, the desire... or the need... comes from within.

Whether your desire burns like a raging fire, glows softly, or just barely smolders, it is enough to get you started here. Perhaps, for you, too, the need will become apparent. What's New?

As our #1 concern is to get you a place to stay on Maui. Few places on earth are as blessed as Maui, Hawaii, a tropical island of legendary beauty and rich history. Even within the Hawaiian islands it's referred to as "Maui No Ka Oi" or Maui is the best. As a complement to its ideal climate, Maui has a variety of spectacular natural wonders. World-famous beaches, lush Iao Valley, Haleakala volcano, Molokini crater-island, pastoral Upcountry, the tropical Hana coast and Seven Pools are just a few of the fascinating sights. The sports enthusiast will find great opportunities for championship golf, tennis, windsurfing, surfing, scuba, snorkeling, biking, hiking, and deep sea fishing. Other popular activities include shopping in the old whaling port of Lahaina, whale watching and dining in Maui's many fine restaurants. You might say it just doesn't get any better than this! Did you know Ka'anapali was selected as the nation's best beach? Having a resort as its backdrop didn't stop Dr. Beach from choosing Ka'anapali as the best beach in the nation, the ninth time a Hawai'i strand has won that honor. Dr. Beach, coastal expert Stephen Leatherman, chose Po'ipu Beach on Kaua'i two years ago, and like Po'ipu, Maui's Ka'anapali is a resort beach. Leatherman doesn't mind some hotels, as long as the beach itself isn't too crowded by them. Folks at the Ka'anapali hotels said they're pleased, but not surprised at the designation. "The connectivity down from Black Rock all the way to Canoe Beach, softsand, a wide beach, both tranquil water for snorkeling and surf for surfing andboogie boarding — we think that it's one of the great beaches," saidBarry Lewin, general manager of the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, whichanchors the southern end of the beach. When Dr. Beach, a meteorologist and professor at Florida International University in Miami, selects a shoreline as his favorite for the year, it's taken out of the running permanently, but Hawai'i does not appear to be running short. Three other Hawaiian beaches made it into Leatherman's top 10 this year: Hanalei on Kaua'i, Makalawena on Hawai'i and Hanauma on O'ahu. Previous Hawai'i winners were Po'ipu in 2001, Mauna Kea Beach in 2000, Wailea in 1999, Kailua Beach in 1998, Hulopo'e in 1997, Lanikai in 1996, Hapuna in 1993 and Kapalua in 1991.

Tropic Hawaiian

hawaiiantropic HISTORY The heart and soul of Hawaiian Tropic is first and foremost about Hawaii. It embodies the Hawaiian "Aloha Spirit". Hawaiian Tropic calls to mind the lush vegetation, the tropical aromas,and the exotic beaches of the Hawaiian landscape. More importantly, it is a state of mind that is rooted in the deep passion that all people possess for the beach lifestyle. Hawaiian Tropic represents all outdoor recreational activities that include: surfing, volleyball, kayaking, boogie boarding, even Nascar and Formula I,as well as that age old sport of "working on the perfect tan". Hawaiian Tropic is a lifestyle brand that is very much about: The Ultimate Beach Party, Spring Break and Beauty Pageants. Hawaiian Tropic believes strongly in innovation and quality, and prides itself on providing excellent customer service. After having spent much of his teen years looking for that right suntan product that would shield his fair skin,Ron Rice decided to manufacture his own out of his garage. Rumor has it that Ron sold his first bottle of Hawaiian Tropic the same day that America launched the first moon mission in July, 1969. One could say it was "one small step for Ron, one giant leap for Hawaiian Tropic", because by the year 2003, Hawaiian Tropic had achieved the following: One of the top three leaders in the sun care industry. Overall brand awareness at 90%. MILESTONES In 1970, Hawaiian Tropic became the official sponsor of Spring Break.Today, over 30 years later, Hawaiian Tropic remains a dominant presence,premiering the annual ritual of Spring Break with spokes-models,large visuals and banners, and sample distribution. In 1983, Hawaiian Tropic hosted its first Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant.Today, over 20,000 young women participate in these pageants with majorinternational coverage by television and radio, including specialsegments on the E! network. Over 1400 pageant events are held worldwideeach year with celebrity judges and guest appearances. In 1985, Hawaiian Tropic signed an exclusive sun care product relationship with"Six Flags" water theme park. Today, Hawaiian Tropic has more exclusive water parkrelationships than any other national brand, reaching over 50 million people.These parks include "Wet and Wild" in California, Las Vegas and Florida, as well as "Splish Splash",the only water park on Long Island, and of course "Big Kahuna's" in Florida. In 1997, Hawaiian Tropic launched its corporate web site, offering product information,suncare tips, as well as the sale of promotional products. Today, the site boasts over 19 millionhits per month, as well as up-to-date information on all promotional events. For the year 2004, Hawaiian Tropic will be a major sponsor of "The Betty Series",North America's premiere of all girl extreme sports series. The first of its kind,this event will feature surfing, skating, snowboarding and wakeboarding.
