Mālama Island Focus

Honoring Hawaiian Traditions: The Spirit of Mālama

In Hawaii, cultural practices are deeply rooted in respect for the land, people, and traditions, making the islands unique. The act of giving a lei, for instance, is a powerful symbol of love, respect, and connection. In Oahu, traditions like lei-making are passed down through generations, with artisans creating each one by hand. This respect for cultural heritage and the connection between people and the land, known as mālama, highlights the honor and reverence deeply embedded in Hawaiian life, making each moment more meaningful.

Volunteer Experiences

Several organisations offer opportunities for visitors to pay it forward, such as beach clean-ups, native tree planting, and more. Engage in some of our volunteer opportunities below, and in exchange, experience Hawaiʻi on a much deeper and connected level.
