Voluntourism on Kaua’i

Hopefully by now you've had the chance to thoroughly dive into our Green Issue, the April edition of Global Traveler, where we explore Earth-friendly destinations, hotels, airlines and initiatives in the world of travel.

It took me all of 30 seconds to decide to sign up for a three-hour tasting tour, especially when I realized the farm was only a 15-minute drive from our accommodations in Kapa'a, on the island's east side.

One of the reasons we did not attend the past few years was how congested and uncomfortable the former site (the historic Ashland Springs Hotel in downtown Ashland) had become. The larger rooms and more open layout of the stylishly appointed retro mid-century hotel offered plenty of space for the large crowd to circulate among the vendor booths and sample the wares.
