This tropical elopement at Nā Mea Kūpono, a breathtaking loʻi kalo (taro patch) on the North Shore of Oʻahu, was nothing short of magical! In Hawaiian culture, a loʻi kalo is more than just a taro field; it’s a sacred connection to our ʻāina (land) and an important part of preserving Hawaiian heritage. The cultivation of kalo (taro) not only sustains life but also holds deep cultural significance. As one of the most cherished foods in the Hawaiian diet, kalo plays a central role in traditional Hawaiian cuisine—and it’s one of my personal favorites!

If you’re planning a tropical elopement in Hawaiʻi, consider Nā Mea Kūpono for an authentic and unforgettable setting that truly honors the spirit of the islands.
