With 120 acres set within a pristine, tropical, ohia forest and bordered by a dramatic coastline and stunning cliffs, Kalani Honua, on the southeast corner of Hawai’i Island (where the lava meets the sea) is probably one of the most beautiful places on Earth to celebrate the ‘ukulele and all that Hawai’i has to offer. Besides offering us a warm and enthusiastic welcome (as well as meal options for vegetarians and vegans), a variety of lodging choices to fit a wide range of whims and budgets, Kalani also offers a full schedule of classes and workshops in yoga, meditation, dance, and Hawaiian crafts to augment our ‘ukulele workshops, events, and field trips.
