Friends With Aloha/ You With Aloha

When one person starts to practice happiness habits, all in their circle are uplifted, as a rising tide raises all ships. As a practice among friends, the Friends With Aloha program provides a basis to further support and elevate each other in achieving optimal core happiness and well-being. A fun add-on for friend groups, book clubs or wedding parties.

As a special add-on to your trip to Hawaii, the You With Aloha program provides an understanding and basis for developing optimal happiness, while you have the time to pause and consider and savor the beauty of the island. It provides a unique opportunity to ingrain happiness habits, and the spirit of Aloha, to carry forward in your life.

Multi-day itineraries are available to further enhance your experience.

The program includes:

  • ‘Aloha Welcome Basket’ and lei

  • Chef-prepared island-inspired continental breakfast

  • Program and program material

  • Chef-prepared island-inspired lunch platters

  • Optional afternoon activities: spa, golf, tennis or beach day. Start the day with morning yoga or an ocean swim or beach walk.

  • Optional private dinner or luʻau: chef-prepared island-inspired small plate buffet, with music, hula, blessing or Talk Story and the option to answer questions and share about the program

The program and morning or day’s itinerary can be arranged at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel; at the property you are staying; at Makani Ua Ranch, as an upcountry adventure; or, brought to you where you are in your home or home town.
