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.
