Completely isolated from the rest of the world, WAIĀKEA offers purity in its ultimate, untainted form. 2,400 miles from the nearest industrial landmass and surrounded by 10 million square miles of ocean, WAIĀKEA volcanic water originates in Hawai’i through both snowmelt and rain on the pristine snowcapped peak of the active Mauna Loa volcano, one of the purest environments on Earth. WAIĀKEA is then filtered through thousands of feet of porous lava rock before re-emerging at its source, located at the eastern base of the Mauna Loa volcano in a secluded area surrounded by rich and bio-diverse forest preserves.
