THIRD-PARTY REGISTRATION POLICY Hawaiʻi Nature Center does not accept third-party registrations on behalf of other friends or family–the registering child’s parent or guardian must be the individual to complete and submit all registration information.

COVID-19 SAFETY Keeping children, families and our staff safe is our highest priority. Health and safety measures are in place to keep participants safe. Modifications include smaller group size to accommodate social distancing. We’ve added six feet of social distancing in our seating arrangements. Masks must be worn inside and on field trip buses. More frequent and easier-to-monitor hand washing is required. Frequent disinfecting of surfaces and high traffic areas are performed. Since our programs are outdoors, we have lots of room to spread out and enjoy the fresh air while exploring nature.
