Why Kauai?
Kauai is the eldest of the Hawaiian island, and with her unparalleled beauty and high vibration energy, transmuting ancient wisdom, she is a catalyst for awakening.
We also believe deeply in the transformative power of traditional Hawaiian culture, especially as it’s practiced and embodied on Kauai. This culture has impacted us profoundly over 22 years, and we believe that providing access to this immense cultural heritage is an essential key to life in peace. Kauai and its people help the souls to remember, foster deep connection and a sense of belonging and encourage response-ability beyond time.
The golden aim is peace, unity, and a rediscovery of shared humanity.
Our Approach
In service to the light.
Our approach is rooted in deep, meaningful connection and a warm, family-style embrace. We create unique immersion experiences where guests are treated as friends and family, building trust through shared activities and time together. This isn’t just tourism; it’s a culturally sensitive and holistic journey involving storytelling, nature exploration, healing arts, community involvement, and personal reflection. This slower-paced, heartfelt approach emphasizes authenticity and provides a bridge for guests to appreciate and integrate Hawaiian wisdom.
Our Story and Expertise
20 years of experience and cultural connection
Touch Kauai has been at the forefront of connecting people with the spirit of Kauai since 2005. Over the years, we have developed deep expertise in bridging the gap between western minds and the cultural richness of the Hawaiian people. Through personal connections, participation in traditional practices, and a commitment to the Aloha Spirit, we have earned the support and respect of the community to offer connection to culturally sensitive experiences that are both profound and transformative.
With gratitude and deep reverence in our hearts, we have dedicated our lives to guiding others on their journey of empowerment. Our intuitive abilities to work with soul energy, allows us to create experiences that lead to healing, aha moments, and magical recognition.

Meet Enrico:
Enrico is born in Germany as well. Before he felt the call to Kauai, he successfully led his own business. As a noted stucco plasterer master, together with his team, he provided beauty and quality to many homes and commercial properties in Germany and further. Enrico is a natural leader, with great foresight, courage and trust to take any hurdle with resilience and grace.
On his spiritual path he expanded his way of being and perception of life through further education courses and self-discovery. He found his calling in meditation, qigong and Hawaiian lomilomi massage.
Over the years, he came to truly honor his sensitivity and intuition and shares his god given insights with the people who are open for it, and help them to remember their own light and the source of their love. Enrico says: „I believe in the energy of love that everybody is born with. And, I believe, that this love is able to heal anything!“
Mahalo! Thank you!
Where would we be without YOU?
What would we be without the people that surround us? Nothing. The reason why we can share about us in a way that we do here is only possible because of our special talented friends and generous supporters, and because of our precious guests who give us the opportunity to do what we do and to be who we are. Mahalo nui loa to all of you!
Special thanks specifically in regards to this website goes to:
- Rüdiger Stern (stern-gestaltung.de), who sat patiently with us for hours of brainstorming and inspired advice to come up with a concept, structure and design to catch the complexity of our content in the most clearest possible way. Mahalo nui loa!
- Dirk Remhof – a master brain and generous angel on earth – who programmed all of the many design details in long nights after work for you to now see and experience this website. Mahalo nui loa!
- Raphael Hug (instagram.com/hug_raphael), who captured with his beautiful heart and professional eye the essence of Kauai, our partners and our work through his stunning moving pictures. Mahalo nui loa!
- Even though many pictures throughout the site are from Raphael, several images in between are gifts from other photographers, from our guests, friends, family and our own. Without naming all of you, thank you for your contributions! Mahalo nui loa!
- And, very importantly: this site was made possible through a grant program of HTA, the Hawaii Tourism Authority (holomua.hawaiitourismauthority.org), in collaboration with Pacific Solutions and Kilohana, to advance regenerative experiences in tourism to enhance the wellbeing of our communities and natural resources. Mahalo nui loa!
Shine Your Light
The Story of the Plumeria
We believe that each person is, in essence, like a brightly shining star, which is symbolized throughout this website as a Plumeria flower.
The mesmerizing scent and beauty of this precious flower sparks an instant smile of joy on people’s hearts. Also, this specific blossom was once a stranger to these islands and is now a fully integrated cherished treasure, contributing to the harmony of the whole. Because we continue to witness our guests to shine forth their beautiful light and contribute to a peaceful world, the Plumeria became the inspiration for our icons and as backdrop for our customer’s heartfelt expressions of gratitude, celebrating 20 years of shared experiences and connection with us.
Mahalo nui loa,
Katharina and Enrico
