Overview

Embark on a one of a kind Native Hawaiian adventure hike filled with Hawaiian language, history, and ʻike Hawaiʻi (ancient knowledge) from Puʻu Kuʻili cinder cone to the beautiful white sands of Makalawena!

Our journey begins at Puʻu Kuʻili, a scenic cinder cone tied to Laʻamaomao, goddess of the winds. From the summit, beautiful views of the ocean and our islands volcanoes can be seen! Our destination is Makalawena, one of the most pristine and beautiful beaches in the world. Our lava trail through coastal Kona flora will guide us there! Once arrived at this incredible oasis we will enjoy the refreshing crystal clear ocean and hear the awe inspiring legacy of the Hawaiian Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
