About Us

Aloha!

Kalapana Tropicals is a family owned and operated farm in Big Island, Hawaii (aka Orchid Isle).  We are blessed with the natural beauty, sunshine, rain and rhythmic trade winds to offer nurturing climate for our fabulous orchids and our family’s simple lifestyle.

In addition to the wonderful plants that we grow and hybridize, we have amazing local growing partners who specialize in genus they are passionate about and perfectly suitable for the elevation and climate in their farms.  The Orchid Isle claims 10 of the world’s myriad climate zones, the only place on earth with so many concentrated in one small area.  A magical place for orchids and us!

Mahalo,
