The values upon which Hui Aloha Kīholo stand include mālama (respect), aloha (love, and a personal sacrifice for the bigger picture), and kōkua aku, kōkua mai (being on the giving and receiving end of helping). We stand for equality with our brothers and sisters of color. We believe in equity and balance in our relationships - those between kanaka (humans), iʻa (fish), kai (ocean), and the myriad of other beings which make up this awe inspiring world around us.
Our mission focuses on the Kīholo Bay area, but we create change through collaborative management and active community stewardship. We support the Black Lives Matter movement because equality and justice for all are necessary for community stewardship of sacred places and aloha.
After many months of closure, we are excited to announce the reopening of camping at Kīholo!
