After leaving their summer feeding grounds in Alaska, gray humpback whales make the six-week journey to Hawaii to mate and give birth. More than 10,000 humpbacks migrate to Hawaii, making January - March the peak season for whale watching. The headquarters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary is located on Maui, with the sanctuary including the leeward coastline of Maui. In Native Hawaiian culture, koholā, or humpback whales, are believed to be physical manifestations of Kanaloa, god of the sea and voyages in the ocean. Ivory from whale's teeth was carved into tongue-shaped pendants and braided into Native Hawaiian's hair. These symbolized a chief's status and authority to speak. With a koholā at your side, you will always find the courage to speak your mind.
Koholā Power:
Koholā will inspire you to live by your heart and speak your truth!
In Hawai’i, Laka is one of Pele’s sisters and is the guardian of the woodland in the story of Hi’iaka. She is said to be the deity of hula, fertility and the red lehua blossoms. Legend says that Laka first danced the hula in Kaana on Molokai and from there she traveled to each island teaching the dance to anyone who wanted to learn. Yellow, lei flowers, and dance symbolize Laka. She is also known as the goddess of the wild woods and plants. Rain connects Laka to her husband, Lono because she is affiliated with the wholesome elements of rain and light. Hawaiian chants seek not only love, but wealth because laka means “gentle, docile, attracted to.”

Geckos are ubiquitous throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Various adaptations have helped them to survive, one of the most important being the gecko’s tail. They help them balance their weight when they are climbing trees to eat the juicy Hawaiian mangoes. If a predator seizes its tail, the gecko is able to shed it in order to escape. For Hawaiians, geckos represent a powerful magical lizard known as Mo’o who is able to communicate with the gods. The Mo’o, with the ability to shapeshift and agile footing, are regarded as one of the most ancient and powerful guardian spirits. Their wisdom comes through dreams.

Gecko gives you the ability to go with the flow!
Hawaii’s state fish is a vibrant array of colors, and is well-known for its long name. Its name means “the fish that snorts like a pig” because its uniquely shaped nose causes it to make grunting sounds. When they are being pursued by a predator, they make a snorting sound to warn others of the approaching danger. Early Hawaiians gave them this name when they saw the reef triggerfish digging through rocks and sand to find food while making grunting and snorting noises. In 1984, the Humu Humu Nuku Nuku Apua’a was named the official state fish of Hawaii.
