Today, discover ancient Hawaiian farming and sustainability practices in the lush Waipa Valley, nestled within Kauai's North Shore, on a private, half-day tour of this beautiful traditional land division, or ahupua‘a. Meet your expert naturalist guide at the designated meeting point to begin your day.
Before your exploration of Waipa Valley begins, enjoy a delicious spread of local fresh fruit, gluten-free banana bread, and mamaki tea. Your guide will introduce you to the important work of the non-profit organization that has spent the last thirty years restoring and maintaining Waipa Valley's ancient irrigation systems and preserving the cultural significance of the land. Learn about life in old Hawai‘i and get an introduction to the ahupua‘a system. After breakfast, board your UTV and begin your exploration of the property. You will start on the ocean side, where your guide will share insights into how resources were managed in ancient times. See the on-site fishpond, which was essential to the ecosystem. From there, continue on to a traditional taro patch. Here, your guide will teach you about this staple root vegetable and the traditional delicacy it creates, poi. Drive along the traditional irrigation system that was used to supply fresh water throughout the ahupua‘a, and see the ancient dam still in place and continuously being restored. From there, continue down the mountain to the garden. Here, you will have the opportunity to help propagate and plant sweet potato stalks while learning about the regenerative agriculture program in place for the valley. Bask in the shade and sample a variety of coconuts and fresh coconut water before starting the journey back to the entrance for lunch. Enjoy a delightful meal of locally sourced ingredients and dishes, many of which come directly from the on-site farm!
As your cultural and culinary journey comes to an end, say farewell to your guide and enjoy the rest of your day at your leisure.
All proceeds for this experience go directly to the non-profit and its commitment to protecting and restoring the Waipa Valley and its history.
