29th Annual Turtle Independence Day Celebration at the Mauna Lani
Mauna Lani has been receiving juvenile honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) from O‘ahu’s Sea Life Park, and raising the honu in the hotels’ salt water ponds since 1989. The honu are cared for until they grow to a size and weight that are deemed appropriate for release into the wild. This release occurs every July 4th at the ocean’s edge fronting the hotel. On Wednesday, July 4, 2018, the honu will be gathered at 10:30 a.m. from the Honu Ponds and they will be paraded to the beachfront for the release. A welcome ceremony with a hula performance by Halau Malanai will kick-off the event followed by the release. This annual celebration honors the honu and helps educate the public about the Hawaiian green sea turtle. Families are invited to join the celebration!
