Yes! Waiākea Hawaiian Volcanic Water originates on the Mauna Loa volcano and is sourced from a family owned deep well on the Big Island – just outside of Hilo. 

Hawaiian volcanic water refers to Waiākea’s unique volcanic filtration; the water originates atop the Mauna Loa and is filtered through thousands of feet of porous lava rock. This process naturally enriches the water with minerals and electrolytes, while also keeping harmful contaminants away.

Waiākea’s pH ranges between 7.6 and 8.2, still making it one of the most naturally alkaline water brands in the world.

pH (potential hydrogen) is the measurement of the ratio of hydrogen ions (H+) to hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution that expresses its relative acidity or alkalinity on a scale that ranges from 0-14. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, the lower its pH, and vice versa. A pH of 7 is neutral. Anything below 7 is acidic and anything above 7 is alkaline. 

Naturally alkaline water has a chemical makeup that is vastly different from artificially alkaline water. Artificially alkaline water has undergone a process they call ionization or electrolysis to “trick” the water into thinking it has a certain pH, but possesses none of the minerals that are responsible for the health benefits of naturally alkaline water. 

Lab-made alkaline waters might register a high pH (some touting a pH as high as 10), however most of these waters are devoid of the minerals and electrolytes that actually make alkaline water so good for you.

You can buy Waiākea from Amazon or through our online store for convenient delivery directly to your home or office. You can also use our Store Locator to find a local store near you. 

Waiākea volcanic water is naturally alkaline with naturally occurring minerals and electrolytes. It originates on the Mauna Loa volcano from rain or snow. Then, it's naturally filtered through thousands of feet of porous lava rock, which enhances it with a blend of minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and silica before finally emerging at the source as delicious Hawaiian volcanic water.

Waiākea is the first Hawaiian Volcanic Water of its kind with a unique platform of Healthy, Sustainable, and Ethical brand pillars.

Waiākea is naturally alkaline, not lab-treated like other waters, and stands out among the rest on sustainable and ethical initiatives. Check out our blog posts for a full comparison between Waiākea and other top bottled waters and the difference between artificial and naturally alkaline water.

Our mission is to sustainably provide healthy and delicious Hawaiian volcanic water with as little environmental impact as possible, while contributing to and promoting clean water access to people in need throughout the world. We put people and the planet before profit.

Waiākea, which means “broad waters” in Hawaiian, gets its name from the ancient subdivision (ahupua'a) in Hilo on the Big Island, which gets almost 360 days of rain each year. It is pronounced ‘why-uh-kay-uh’, or phonetically spelled ‘way-ә-ke-ә’.

Waiākea Hawaiian Volcanic Water originates on the Mauna Loa volcano and sourced from a family-owned deep well just outside of Hilo from the sustainable Kea'au Aquifer.

Waiākea is committed to giving back to our community. We believe that it is important to make a positive impact on the lives of others and contribute to those around us. That's why we created our award-winning Kōkua Initative to support local organizations and charities. In addition to our Kōkua Initative, we have partnered with PumpAid to bring clean water through entrepreneurship to people in Malawi, and support over 90+ local non profits in Hawai'i. We pledge to donate over 2% of sales to these iniinitiatives annually.

Waiakea contains the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of silica, giving it a uniquely smooth and soft mouthfeel, as well as magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and more. These minerals also contribute to the unique pH of Waiakea.

The Waiākea Water Kōkua Initiative is committed to empowering the people of Hawai'i through a 3 piko approach that encourages educational opportunities, 'āina-based conservation & sustainability, and support for the most vulnerable in our community.

Each purchase directly funds our Kōkua Initiative, allowing us to donate food and water, basic hygiene supplies, volunteer hours, books and much more.

For every liter of Waiākea you buy, we donate 1 month of clean water to those in need in Malawi, Africa. Our non-profit partner, Pump Aid, has a mission to address water poverty, food insecurity, and aid dependency. Together with them, we are working to achieve lasting, positive change in poor and disadvantaged communities by improving the quality, availability, and use of water and sanitation.
