Borders Tara!

Tara is the only fully sustainable retreat in the country! Guests staying at Tara do not pollute the earth, the rivers and streams of Hawaii, the oceans, or the air. Power comes from renewable sources, and even our backup systems and vehicles operate with alternatives to petroleum fuel! Food that we do not organically produce ourself is purchased from local organic farmers. Hotels and other Centers use Chlorine and other toxic chemicals for cleaning and water purification, and runoff and waste often ends up in Hawaii's fragile ecosystems. Tara is a model of sustainable luxury.
See for yourself. Feel the difference.
