Kaua'i Travel & Lodging Information

An immersive 3-day educational event focused on the fungal biodiversity of the beautiful cloud forests surrounding the historic Civilian Conservation Corps Camp nestled in Koke’e State Park. Travel through multiple ecosystems with celebrated mycologists as you learn fungal identification, document mushroom species, and help lay the foundation for conservation efforts.

​

This curated 3-day event is limited to 10 guests. Due to the nature of the space, we are not offering single rooms, and instead participants will be sleeping in single beds in a large shared room. Parking is very limited on site so we will be offering a shuttle service to and from the event. If you live in the area and would like to attend the event, please fill out our contact form here.

​

Participants will need to arrive at Lihue airport (LIH) no later than 11 am HST Thursday, January 8th. The shuttle to the event will depart Lihue airport (LIH) at 11:30 am HST on Thursday, January 8th, so be sure to arrive before the shuttle departs. We will be making one stop for participants to purchase groceries on the way to the event. Once we arrive on-site, we will not be leaving until Sunday, January 11th at noon HST when the event is over so please plan accordingly. 

​

Depending on the arrival time of your flight, you may want to find accommodation in or around Lihue for the day(s) leading up to the event. There are many options for locally operated motels and hotels in the area for the night of January 7th or January 11th, but are not included in the price of the ticket. Contact us if you would like some recommendations! 

Lodging also includes a community kitchen space and showers. There is very limited cell phone reception but we will have access to wifi. 

​

A grab and go style breakfast will be provided each day. Lunch and snacks are not provided so participants will need to bring their own. The provided dinner will be pot luck style with a main course provided. We will be sending out a sign up sheet if you would like to help contribute! Alcohol is not included.

​

We will be arriving during the rainy season and trail conditions could be muddy and wet in the surrounding area. Daytime temperatures in January average 76°F (24°C) to a low of 72°F (22°C) but it has been known to have lows around 49F occasionally during that time of year so be sure to bring gear for cold weather and rain just in case.
