Waikea volcanic water originates in Hawaii through both snowmelt and rain on the pristine peak of the active Mauna Loa volcano, one of the purest environments on Earth. The water is then filtered through thousands of feet of porous volcanic rock that enriches Waikea with a variety of trace minerals, making it electrolyte rich and naturally alkaline, before emerging at its source, surrounded by rich forest preserves just outside quiet Hilo town. Waikea's mission is to provide naturally healthy, delicious, Hawaiian volcanic water with as little impact as possible, while contributing to and promoting conservation and access to clean water and education for people in need throughout the world. This is embodied by Waikea's slogan: "Drink Healthy, Drink Sustainably, Drink Ethically." In accordance with the Hawaiian practice and notion of malama i ka aina, meaning to respect and care for the land, Waikea is also proud to be the first American premium bottled water and beverage to be certified CarbonNeutral for its variety of eco-initiatives, including using 100% RPET packaging, sustainable sourcing, and its regional reforestation projects. We love what our brand represents. From the high standards it sets, to the active lifestyle it promotes, to the lives it changes. With your help we will continue to strive for the summit - kulia i ka nuu.
