Hawaii is a magical place of lush foliage, majestic ocean and a brilliant blue sky.

All participants will learn how soil erosion and runoff affect our living reefs and how these volunteer efforts are contributing to the areas preservation. This incredible experience is led by experts on the local floral, fauna, and culture, and proceeds of your donation support the efforts of Mālama Kahalawai, Inc., a 501-c-3 organization dedicated to the conservation of the West Maui Mountains pristine watershed areas. Guests should bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and must wear closed-toe shoes appropriate for hiking and dress in layers as weather conditions may unexpectedly fluctuate between warm and sunny to cool and damp.
