We love serving you, our neighbors and our Hawaii Island community. Your health and safety, along with the wellbeing of our team, are of paramount importance to us. As such, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend all family activities, effective Friday, March 27. This certainly isn’t goodbye, it’s a hui hou (until we meet again) for now. We’ll be back as soon as we can, and look forward to welcoming each of you in the near future.
