Join us for our daily sunset torch lighting as we celebrate the ending of the day and the coming of night with a Hawaiian chant and blowing of conch.
The torch lighting begins at Botero Lounge where, in ‘olelo Hawaii (Hawaiian language), the torch lighter begins a chant that tells everyone that night is upon them and that the fire he carries is from Moelehu, the ancient patron of fire; this is the fire that Maui the demigod was able to capture and keep and this fire will light the torches of Wailea.
The torch lighting continues to Humuhumunukunukuapua’a and on to Bistro Molokini with the setting of the sun.
Torch lighting times change seasonally based on sunset.
