EMWP Interpretive Hikes
What better way to learn about watersheds and Hawaiian rainforests than to actually be in one! We offer interpretive hikes into The Nature Conservancy’s Waikamoi Preserve for interested educators and other organized groups and clubs. Our preference is to provide a classroom presentation followed by a field trip.
You will need to provide your own transportation to the site. Groups usually meet at 9am at the hiking location, hiking times can be adjusted to meet your schedule. We take a minimum of 4 and max of 24 participants, chaperones required for all youth groups. We have hiking options available for ages 3rd grade to adult. Weekdays only.
