EXPERIENCE HAWAI‘I REGENERATIVELY
When you choose to explore Hawaiʻi through locally rooted, community-led experiences, you’re doing more than planning an activity - you’re helping build a different kind of visitor industry.
The regenerative experiences below offer you as travelers a chance to connect deeply with place, culture, and community. They're guided by people who know and love the ʻāina, who are caring for it, and who are inviting you to be part of that story - even for a little while.
Choosing local, values-aligned experiences means your dollars support efforts to restore ecosystems, preserve cultural practices, and strengthen community well-being. It also means you walk away with more than just photos - you leave with pilina: a real connection to the place and people who welcomed you.
Explore the experiences below to find regenerative opportunities across Hawaiʻi.
