Testimonials
While Ala Kukui is obviously a beautiful accommodation, the peace felt in this place comes from the great care that is taken to mālama ʻāina. All of us that were able to share in the experience of staying and learning from this space are changed because of it.
Hāna is a very special place to our family. From caring for the land to taking time to learn from our kūpuna, these are the most important things in life. They are what makes our heart full, and we are grateful.
It was a perfect introduction to Hāna. I really appreciated how connected everyone is with nature and how that dictates the flow of life. It was the birth of a special event that will continue to grow, and I was very grateful to be a part of it.
Our experience at Ala Kukui is one that needs to be cherished, protected, but also shared—in a carefully curated fashion, guided by the community. I am so grateful for that weekend.
