House of the Sun Island of Maui Hawaii T-Shirt

Maui is two volcanoes joined by a low isthmus — Mauna Kahālāwai and Haleakalā, the House of the Sun — and this tee honors the volcanic shape that made Maui.

The Story Behind the Island of Maui

Haleakalā built the eastern two-thirds of Maui in massive shield-volcano fashion, and its 10,023-foot summit holds a crater more than seven miles long. The mountain has not erupted since the late 1600s, but is classified as active. Its rain shadow creates South Maui's leeward sun (Kīhei, Wailea) and pours rain onto windward Hāna and the road that leads there. In Hawaiian tradition, Māui climbed the summit to lasso the sun and slow its passage — to give his mother Hina more daylight to dry her kapa.

For Maui Lovers

For locals, Haleakalā is the spine of the island and the daily horizon. For visitors, this tee is Maui in two facts: a volcanic island, and a House of the Sun.
