 Preparing for your visit:
Ho'okupu:
Recognizing that gift-giving is an integral part of Hawaiian culture, the presentation of
ho'okupu by students is welcomed. Mele (song), oli (chant), or pū'olo (a gift bundled in leaves) can be prepared prior to your visit and given at the mauka entrance of the Palace immediately before the start of your tour.
