Helpful Information

Huaka’i: visiting Mauna ‘Ala

While Mauna ‘Ala is open daily for public visitation, it is highly recommended that the public contact the Curator in advance of a huaka’i. Doing so helps maintain the sanctity of Mauna ’Ala by avoiding overlapping of visitors and potential vehicle parking impacts. There are prearranged huaka’i on specific dates that have been scheduled for the grounds of Mauna ‘Ala by Special Use Permit (SUP).

· A group greater than 25 individuals requires a SUP.

· A group of 25 individuals or less does not require a SUP, but contacting the Curator is still recommended.

For more information or to request an SUP, please contact the Curator by email: [email protected] or by cell phone @ 808-636-8452
