๐บ Aloha, malihini. You came to these islands with love, we know that. But Aloha is not something you take in photos ๐ธ It is something you practice — quietly, gently, respectfully.
This ocean is our kai ๐ a living gift from our ancestors. This land is our สปฤina ๐ฑ She remembers us, feeds us, and holds our stories.
While you are here, please walk not as an owner, but as a guest — malihini ๐ถ♀️ Slow your steps, soften your voice, and listen to how the island breathes ๐ฌ️
Your small acts of care honor our kuleana — our responsibility. And that care keeps Hawai‘i not just beautiful, but alive ๐ค
