For those who hope to go on a cultural tour of the valley, I wanted to clarify that Lawrence Aki no longer leads the hike up to Moa'ula Falls. He has turned the business over to his niece and nephew who lead the hike for $79. Lawrence Aki stills grows taro but he now teaches workshops on the spiritual aspects... more
