KAʻAPUNI O WAIMEA
Time: 9 am to 3 pm, Tuesday-Sunday
The overarching cultural value of Ka‘apuni o Waimea is ho‘okipa – which is hospitality from a cultural perspective, the action of treating others as we would like to be treated. It is our hope that through this experience, guests will learn about the positive impact of hoʻokipa, and will carry this attitude throughout the island.
