The Opihi Pickers is an island reggae group from Hawaii that blend island, reggae, and contemporary music.

The group is composed of vocalist and ukulele player Imua Garza, Imua's brother Hoku Garza (guitar), their cousins Kahale Morales (bass) Cody Yamaguchi (ukelele) and Kevin Okimoto (guitar and vocals).

A local music treasure in Hawaii, the Opihi Pickers began as recording artists in 1998 while still young teens. They broke through to a wider audience in 2001 with the success of their hit song "Old Fashioned Touch".

In early 2008 they announced that the band would be disbanding in June 2008.
