(SP)(check in #3) Hawaiian can be found on this permanent wooden sign at the exit of a nature reserve. Hawaiian was used here to thank the guests and encourage them to come again, but that it not clear to those who do not understand Hawaiian—this sign may have been placed here to add to the “beauty and authenticity of Hawai'i” feeling without actually having to be understood by most guests, and perhaps get a nod and a smile from guests who do speak Hawaiian. Many people unfamiliar with Hawaiian may see the language as something ancient, mystical, and powerful, so the park may have been trying to go for this feeling by adding a “mystical” phrase in Hawaiian at the exit (even though its actual meaning is quite mundane).
