Information and Aloha!

Nicky Tachibana has been a part of the Four Seasons Hualālai’s Natural Resources Team of marine biologists for the past 13 years. As a team, the marine biologists maintain the ponds, raise oysters and shrimp for the Resort restaurants, assist with the monitoring of the coastlines and provide educational opportunities for visitors and residents.

Growing up on the island of Molokai, Nicky has had a unique opportunity to connect with the natural world within a small island community. She took her passion for nature and animals to the University of Hawaii at Hilo and graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in Marine Science. While working here at the Four Seasons Hualalai, she has had the opportunity to further her education with a Master’s degree in Education for Teaching Science from Concordia University Oregon and has become a Certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association For Interpretation. She loves taking science and making it fun, exciting and “digestible” for everyone!

Please join her at the Kumu Kai Marine Center to learn more about “Try Wait” and the process of creating a sustainable management plan for the coastline here at Hualālai Resort. To make a reservation for this event, please visit the Kumu Kai Marine Center at King’s Pond
