MAUI is the moniker chosen for this bar.

Maui, also called the Valley Isle, is but a small dot in the vast Pacific Ocean, but it offers visitors dreamlike-even surreal-experiences: floating weightless in a rainbowed sea of tropical fish, standing atop a 10,000-foot volcano watching the muted colors of dawn etch the sky, listening to the symphony of raindrops in a bamboo forest, breathing the salt-filled ocean air.

From around the globe, travelers are drawn to the island of Maui, each in search of a unique encounter. Some come to experience the "real" Hawaii; some anticipate heart-pounding adventure; some seek the relaxing and healing powers of this sacred place; and some are drawn by the indescribable, unexplainable concept of the aloha spirit, where harmony and love prevail. (From "Frommer’s 99: Maui with Molokai and Lanai".)

BLACK ROCK

Kaanapali Beach’s Black Rock (Puu Kekaa) is a volcanic cinder cone from which ancient Hawaiians believed that the dead departed the earth in their journey to the spirit world. According to legend, the great 18^th-century Maui chief Kahekili proved his bravery by leaping from the rock to the ocean below. In the 19^th century raw sugar was hauled by train from the Lahaina mill out to Black Rock from this dramatic outcropping the produce was loaded onto waiting ships. The entire area is like an underwater marine park. Stay close to the cinder cone. There are schools of reef fish, rays, and even a lonely turtle. Black Rock Is excellent for beginner snorkelers during day and for scuba divers at night. Schools of fish congregate at the base of the rock and are so used to snorkelers that they go about their business as if no one were around. If you take the time to look closely at the crannies of the rock, you’ll find lion fish in fairly shallow water. At night, lobsters, Spanish dancers, and eels come out.

GREEN TURTLES (Chelonia mydas)

The world's largest sea turtles, may weigh as much as 400 pounds. Growth rates among sea turtles vary. In general, maturing slowly, they are believed to have long life spans, perhaps as long as 75 to 100 years.

The common name of this turtle is derived from the greenish color of its body fat. The smooth carapace of an adult varies in color from greenish or brown or black or gray, frequently marked with darker streaks and spots. Green turtles are the only marine turtles subsisting mainly on plants-a diet poor in vitamin D. They are also the only marine turtles that come to the shore to bask-perhaps a means of producing the needed vitamin D through the action of the sunlight on skin sterols.

Laws now protect sea turtles, the ingredient long favoured in turtle soup. Cartilage from the plastron, called calipee, is scraped from slaughtered turtles to provide the base for green turtle soup - a centuries-old delicacy. Many still drown when entangled in fishing nets. Plastic bags and balloons resemble jellyfish and other prey, when turtles ingest these, they can cause stomach and intestinal blockage, killing the turtles by starvation or by infection.

Beach basking is particularly prevalent in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands, in Australia, and in the Galapagos Islands. To prevent overheating, beach basking usually takes place on white sand with a steady wind and partly cloudy conditions.
