Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources Wildlife Sanctuaries

The Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has an online document "Rules Regulating Wildlife Sanctuaries" with Exhibits at the end that list which Sanctuaries are closed, restricted or available for commercial activities. §13-126-9 and §13-126-10 describe permits and the permit applicaiton process for activities within the Sanctuaries.

Maui Sanctuaries have banned geocaching.

National Parks

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park allows EarthCaches with local ranger permission.

Haleakala National Park allows EarthCaches with a special use permit.

WAIHE'E COASTAL DUNES AND WETLANDS REFUGE (Maui)

The Refuge is owned by The Hawaiian Land Trust. GCNEFC was archived by Groundspeak at the request of the caretaker, so until a geocaching policy with the Land Trust is established by local geocachers, no new geocaches will be allowed.

About This Guide

The local laws and guidelines for geocaching placement vary from place to place. As community reviewers learn geocache placement policies for a certain location, they can add it here. This site may not be a complete or accurate list of land policies. These policies are made by the land owner or manager, they are neither the reviewer’s nor Geocaching HQ’s. This guide is just for reference, if no policies for the area you’re looking for are listed, that doesn't mean no policies exist. You must still obtain permission to place your geocache from the landowner or land manager,comply with all applicable laws, and follow the Geocaching Listing Requirements.
