Waipa, at 1,600 acres, is one of the smallest in a series of nine historic ahupuaa within Kauai's moku (district) of Halelea. Located along the north coast of Kauai, Halelea today is commonly referred to as the "north shore". Halelea is a historic moku, which today encompasses the communities of Kilauea, Kalihiwai, Wanini/Kalihikai, Princeville, Hanalei/Waioli, Wainiha, and Haena. Waipa is located between the ahupuaa of Waioli and Waikoko.
How to get to Waipa (driving directions):
- Take Kuhio Highway (52) north to Hanalei (about 65 minutes from Lihu'e Airport).
- Once in Hanalei town, look for Hanalei School on the left (Mauka side).
- About ¼ mile past the School is a one-lane concrete bridge over Waioli stream. Waipa ahupuaa starts at this bridge.
- To get to our offices continue on the Highway for another ¼ mile or so to a cluster of green and white buildings on the left. At the gate look for a blue sign that says "Farmers Market Every Tuesday, 2PM".
- Turn into the paved driveway and park in the yard.
- The Waipa Foundation office is located in the building on the Hanalei side of the driveway, and the Hawaiian Farmers of Hanalei office on the left.
