The forest of Keau’ohana has been hit by Rapid ‘Ohi’a Death (ROD) therefore

some sections have minimal canopy; sun hats and water are important items.
This is a forest environment without facilities; ground is uneven/ crumbly ‘a’a
substrate requiring rugged outdoor shoes/boots. Walking sticks are
encouraged for those with less stable footing as it is best not to rely upon the
native plant species for balance.

In case of an incident, there is an Emergency Clinic in Pahoa town less than
5m away though we do have CPR/First Aid Certification.
