For each huakaʻi wear comfortable, breathable clothes that can get dirty such as t-shirts and board shorts. Bring a change of clothing, towel, sun glasses, environmentally friendly sunscreen and bug repellant, slippers and walking shoes that can get muddy and wet i.e. tabis or old athletic shoes. In case of wet or cool weather, a rain jacket and/or long sleeve clothing options also recommended.
Protocol: Each site has a different protocol related to that place and experience, so be ready to follow the lead of the kiaʻi (caretaker) or alakaʻi (lead guide) of the place. If you feel it is appropriate for you, you may choose to bring makana (gift), oli (chant), or mele (song) to share with the kiaʻi or alakaʻi and the ʻāina of your huakaʻi site. Most importantly, bring an open mind, curiosity and aloha!
