In Hawaiian the word malama means “to take care” and the word aina means “land.” When you’re in Hawaii, we ask that you practice this and pick up your trash; respect the marine life, plants, and animals; and avoid spots that are unsafe. Hawaii’s natural resources are precious, it’s up to all of us to help preserve these resources for generations by respecting the aina when you visit.

There are no entrance fees on this tour, but you should still budget for some local eats. Here’s how much you can expect to spend: 

  • $15.00 per person: Lunch
  • $5.00 per person: Local snack
  • We recommend starting the tour before 10:00 a.m. 
  • Expect to spend about 4-6 hours if you plan to do all the activities on the tour.
