Aloha,

Whether you're just stopping through, hanging for a while, or planting new roots here on the island of Kauai, we ask you to commit to protecting this beautiful land by joining us in 

"The Aloha Pledge."

The Aloha Pledge

Children of Kauai,

- I pledge to always live the spirit of aloha as I visit your special home.


- I will take time to learn about the Hawaiian people and culture. 


- I will preserve and protect your home and will engage with the people, places, and wildlife in a kind and respectful way. 


- I will give fish and other wildlife space. I understand feeding marinelife can damage their health and disrupt behavior. 


- I will stay off the reef. I understand that even barely brushing coral, can kill an entire colony. 


- I will give space to the fishermen so I do not scare the catch away. I understand the fishermen feed their families this way.


- I will only use “reef safe” sunscreens and bug repellents, free of oxybenzone and parabens to avoid ocean and water contamination.


- I will only stay in legal, licensed visitor accommodations.


- I will look for welcoming signage letting me know that an area is public and safe and I will always obey appropriate signage for the safety of myself and others.


- I will buy flowers and produce from the store or a farmers market and will not pick them from someone’s yard.


- I will clean and decontaminate all of my footwear and hiking gear with 70% alcohol or a 10% bleach solution to prevent Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death and stop other invasive species from spreading. 


- I will protect special places by never geo tagging them on social media. 


- I will always leave places the way I found them.


- I will pack my trash and will even pick up the trash of others I may pass along the way.


- I will always share aloha, kindness, and respect as I enjoy this special experience with others.

"He Ali'i Ka 'Āina; He Kauwā ke Kanaka"

"The land is chief, man is its servant."

Aina. Culture. Community.
For over 20 years, Waipa Foundation has worked with the community to manage the 1,600 acre ahupua'a of Waipa, located on the north shore of Kaua'i. Waipa is a place where folks can connect with the ‘aina (that which feeds us - the land and resources), and learn about our local values and lifestyle through laulima (many hands working together).
