The Legends of Pele

Your Certified Guide will “talk story” - sharing some local legends about Hawaiʻi’s most revered goddess, Madame (or Tutu) Pele. Pele is the Hawaiʻian goddess of volcanoes and fire. Otherwise known as Pelehonuamea, “She who shapes the sacred land,” Pele sends rivers of lava down the mountainside, devouring small towns and entire forests - while creating new land.
