The Mālama Hawai‘i Program was created “in an effort to inspire mindful travel” and to encourage visitors to participate in a volunteer program during their trip. The idea is that by making a positive impact, a visitor will have a more enriching travel experience that will stick with them, and the local population will see added benefits of tourism – namely, places being left better than they were found.
Right now, about three dozen hotels across four islands are participating in Mālama Hawai‘i, and each package is unique. For example, at the Outrigger Waikiki, you get a third night free for participating in a 2-hour eco-program at Kualoa Ranch.
