Since 1953, Hui o Laka, a community-based non-profit organization, has been devoted to illuminating, celebrating, and nurturing the essence of Kōke'e, engaging all in a spirit of appreciation and service.
Illuminate
Mountain mysteries
Mysteries are intriguing precisely because they are hidden or not obvious, and they always lead to new and unexpected insights.
Celebrate
For those who make the journey to the upland forests of Koke’e to attend or participate in the Eo e Emalani i Alaka’i festival, the experience remains engraved in memory.
Nurture
Nature and ourselves
Nurturing the bond between people and place is the deepest intent of Hui o Laka’s park stewardship program, Kokua Koke’e!Page 1 of 7
