What to know for Tours, Workshops, and Volunteer Events

  • Makakilo Community Park
    92-1140 Makakilo Dr., Kapolei, HI 96707

    Park on the street near the playground and meet us on the sidewalk. Please be sure to arrive 10 minutes early as we caravan promptly at the event start time.

    The drive up the mountain takes about 30 minutes each way. We carpool together as a group. If you'd like to offer your car for carpooling, it must be insured. Otherwise, just ride with another guest!

  • Please plan to arrive on time and stay for the full event. We need everyone to travel up and down the mountain as a group for safety and logistics. We make sure you get plenty of time to enjoy everything!

  • Everyone needs to complete two online waivers before you come:

    Takes about 5 minutes!

    Age requirements: Generally 14+ with a paid ticket (babies in carriers welcome, no ticket needed).

  • Everyone brings:

    • Reusable water bottle (stay hydrated!)

    Workshops & Tours: Layer up — it's 10–15 degrees cooler on the ridge. Plan to remove shoes inside the cabin.

    For Aina Workdays: Closed-toe shoes, long pants, long sleeves (tall grasses!), hat, sunscreen, bug spray. We provide gloves, but bring your own tools if you like. Bring lunch if you want.

    Don't bring: Alcohol (think glamping — carry in, carry out!)

  • Workshops and Tours: Light bites will be provided.

    For Aina Workdays: We provide water and a light snack. Bring your own lunch if you'd like, or just stay and talk story with the group after we're done!

  • Please email us before your event so we can support you properly.
