How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Hawaiians divided their islands into districts called moku.

The map below shows the moku of Kaua'i.

These names are still in use today.



Moku were further divided into ahupua'a, a land division usually extending from the uplands to the sea.

This challenge cache is not at the posted coordinates; you can find it at the Final Waypoint listed below.  However, before you can log a smiley for this cache, you need to find one cache in each of the six moku of Kaua'i.

You are welcome to locate the cache and post notes to the cache page. BUT we will delete your “found” log if you do not meet the above logging requirements.

Verification Process

To provide us with verification that you meet the logging requirements of this challenge:

Prior to logging your find, send us a list of the qualifying cache names, their GC numbers, and the date you found each.   Or, you can include this list in your "found" log.

Fine Print

Moku are LAND designations; caches in the water do not count for this challenge. However, caches on the ridges that mark the boundaries of moku may count for either moku.

All previous finds count toward this cache's requirements. However, to be eligible for Challenge Rewards, you must use finds on or after the publication date of this cache for the logging requirements.  Caches you own cannot be counted as finds for this cache's logging requirements.
