GO WILD!

Aloha and welcome to the Kalapaki Eco Challenge!

We are an organization based in Lihue, Hawaii. We are Kauaians and keenly aware of our environment and the organizations within the Huleia Ahupuaa. As an organization, we hope to contribute to their missions' goals and hope others will do the same. After all, we are “One Island, many peoples, all Kauaians.”
