We ask that guests visiting Ha'ena take the Aloha Pledge to display your commitment towards maintaining the beauty of our 'aina, and provide a sustainable future for our keiki (children) on Kauai.

The Pledge

"Children of Kauaʻi, I pledge to preserve and protect your special home, to engage with people and places in a balanced, respectful and sustainable way."

How I Will Actively Participate:

• I will take time to learn about the Hawaiian culture and people.
• I will remember I am a guest here and that others are not on vacation.
• I will stay in legal and licensed visitor accommodations.
• I will give fish and other wildlife space. I know feeding sea life can damage their health and disrupt behavior.
• I will stay off the reef. I understand even brushing coral can kill a whole coral colony.
• I will give space to fishermen so I do not scare the catch away.
• I will only use “reef safe” sunscreens and bug repellent products free of oxybenzone and parabens to avoid ocean and stream contamination.
• I will look for welcoming signage to let me know if an area is public. If none is visible I will not intrude.
• I will buy flowers and produce from the store or a farmers market and never pick from someone’s yard.
• I will clean and decontaminate all footwear and hiking gear with 70% alcohol or 10% bleach solution to prevent both Rapid Ohiʻa Death and other invasive species from spreading.
• I will protect special places by never geotagging when using social media.
• I will pick up my trash and any I may pass by.
• -I will always give aloha, kindness and respect before taking this special experience with me.

Our team is committed to providing every guest with the peace of mind to relax and enjoy their time with us. You will be welcomed by a team of individuals that have been fully trained on the importance of upholding the highest level of sanitation standards and the sensitivity of the current circumstance which we are in.
