Pū‘ohe (Hawaiian Bamboo Trumpet) Demonstration
Big Island • February 14, 2018

The Pū‘ohe is a Hawaiian bamboo trumpet. It has a deep sound somewhat like a conch shell, and like other native instruments, pū‘ohe requires the special spirit breath to produce the proper sound. Rangers and Hawai‘i Pacific Parks Association staff will help you make your own pū‘ohe. Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes’ ‘Ike Hana No‘eau “Experience the Skillful Work” workshops. Free, and in Kahuku. The Kahuku Unit is a 50-minute drive south of the park’s main entrance, near mile marker 70.5 on Highway 11.

An obvious perk of being on an island is that no matter which direction you head toward, you’ll soon run into a beach. When you’re on Maui, it doesn’t really matter which beach you happen upon since they’re all beautiful in their own way. Yet, some are more suited to surfing, some to swimming and snorkeling, and others just for taking a timeout while reading and listening to the waves. Here are a few notable picks from around the island.
