Precautions

A gentle reminder that Hana is Home to seven hundred natives and locals before it is anything else. On behalf of myself and 'ohana we welcome you to visit and are happy to share our paradise and backyard with you. In return, we ask you to please thread respectfully and mindfully. Respect any and all “signage” on public and private land/property. Do not feel possessed to take any lava rock, lava sand or any lava rock(s) stacked on small or large altars/temples you may stumble upon. It is forbidden for good reason, lets just leave it at that.
