Ka'upulehu Cultural Center

Ka'upulehu Cultural Center can be found behind the Hualalai Grille. It is on the ocean side of the golf pro shop. The center is an interactive location with programs and interpretive resources. It is meant to display living pictures of Hawaii including the environment, culture, history, arts, and traditions. One display is the Mauka to Makai which means mountain to ocean. It is an activity that highlights traditions of Hawaii, so that visitors can go on a journey through history.

The facility offers a map of the Polynesian islands inlaid in the wooden floor. There are some original paintings from Hawaiian artists. There is also some by Herb Kawainui Kane, which show the coastal Hawaiian village inhabitants.

The facility is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4pm. There are several programs like Mauka to Makai, Star Navigation, Hawaiian language, Hula lessons, Kupuna, and Oral history. The Kupuna program is for Hawaiian elders to teach and show cultural knowledge that they have. Ukulele lessons can also be found at the cultural center for residents and visitors who want to learn. It is a community center for those who wish to be a part of local entertainments.
