Explore Hawai'i and Make a Difference

Experience the Spirit of Aloha [Road Scholar]( Return to Hawai'i With Road Scholar [Learn More]( Have you been thinking about making plans to visit Hawai'i, but weren’t sure given the recent wildfires on Maui? Now, two months into its recovery, Hawai'i is welcoming visitors back, asking only that they arrive respectfully, carrying with them grace and compassion. It’s what the locals refer to as the spirit of Aloha. While used as an expression of meeting or parting, Aloha also represents a profound philosophical way of life for Hawaiians. It speaks to the altruism, unity, compassion and respect Hawaiians and locals have for everything around them, from nature to culture, heritage to community. At Road Scholar, we are doing everything we can to support Hawai'i and to travel responsibly, honoring the beauty and resilience of Maui. For Road Scholars considering Hawai'i, know that while our current programs on Maui mostly take place on the east side of the island, accommodations are located in West Maui, where participants can more directly help those residents retain their jobs, support their families and keep their homes. All of the Hawaiian Islands are currently open and welcoming visitors, and travel restrictions to most of Maui, except Lahaina and limited nearby areas, have been lifted.
