UPDATED 2024: Description of activity subject to change without notice due to new limitations and updated capacities. Thank you.

Schedule:

• Availability: Wednesday and Sunday
• Tour Time: 9:20 AM
• Duration: 2 Hours 

This hands-on experience captures the importance of sustainability and watershed management. It is important for us to mālama these resources as they feed our entire natural environment from the mountain to the sea, which in turn feeds us as beneficiaries of this thriving ecosystem. Learn about how important kalo (taro) is to the Hawaiian people not only for sustenance and its cultural tie to Kualoa, but also through Hawaiian cultural identity. Depending on need, activities can include thatching of traditional Hawaiian hale (houses) … assisting with cleaning, planting, harvesting kalo … or stewardship of the māla lāʻau lapaʻau (Hawaiian medicinal plant garden).

Recommendations:

• Appropriate beachwear is needed and guests will be able to shower and are encouraged to bring a change of clothes for those that will want to work in the lo’i.
