As a full-time host and tour guide, I take pride is giving people the best experiences possible while on island! Our properties are cozy and provide everything you will need being your home away from home while on vacation!
Learn more about this land:
The ultimate local experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes!
For guests unfamiliar with the Big Island, it is not like the other islands people travel to. If Oahu is more Americanized, the Big Island is still more of a Polynesian Island. Our property allows guests to enjoy a genuine local experience.
The cabins have power and endless hot water. All water on property is rainwater harvested from our roof!
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them 🐸 Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer. More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal Kings baths, to prawn hunting to hikes that lead to waterfalls! They are all local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency. We are updating our ig @bathingsuitsandrainboots regularly with footage from adventures as well!
Beach gear such as surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear is also available. There is a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island!
There are a total of 4 cabins on the one acre lot. The owners are on property, other guests may or may not be here as well. There is a dog Valentine, two outdoor cats named Ghost and Tomi, and chickens/ducks.
Each cabin has a queen mattress. We rent both cabins out for larger groups.
Jungle massages are available on site starting at $100 for the hour.
Please note the main image capturing a lava cliff sunrise is not visible from the cabin. It is about a 30-40 minute drive from us 🌊 ☀️ 🌋
We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, I suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

Honokaa, HI · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Volcano Island Farm is located on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. We are 10 minutes from Honokaʻa Town and 20 minutes from Waipiʻo Valley Lookout.
We are a small agricultural farm with gardens, hydroponic greenhouses (coming soon), chickens for eggs, and acres of macadamia nut orchards. Most of the property is open green space with plenty of shade from trees—as long as you don’t mind the occasional falling nut.
We offer two types of camping. Traditional camping is available for guests with their own tent, which can be set up anywhere near the bathhouse in the grass or under a tree.
We also have tents and camping equipment available for use as needed. In addition, we offer the opportunity to stay in our restored Volkswagen van.
The van sleeps a couple very comfortably with a full- to queen-size bed, a swivel chair, and interior lighting. It is cozy and comfortable and includes a picnic table and outdoor lighting in the surrounding area.
The bathhouse is shared among all campers. We typically have no more than four campers at a time, so it is generally easy to share the space. The bathhouse includes a hot shower, sink with mirror, private toilet room, off-grid hot tub (heats in about 20 minutes), and an outdoor deck area for eating or relaxing.
Volcano Island Farm is a calm and quiet retreat from everyday life. We look forward to hosting you and hope you enjoy your relaxing stay. Please check our website calendar or Instagram page for occasional farm events or activities that may be happening during your visit—we would love for you to join us! Mahalo and aloha.

Kaneohe, HI · 2 sites
One of the most beautiful places in Hawai`i. We are at the top of a hill in a secluded and secure Homestead farm overlooking Kane`ohe Bay and Mokapu (and the Marine Corps Base) as well as the Pali (cliffs). We are nestled, in a jungle, in the Ko`olau mountain range. We have ocean access from the property (by crossing the road). Nearly are places to get in the water (such as Ka`a`awa and Ku`aloa Beach Park). We are also close to civilization and Kualoa Ranch.
We generally see the stars and the sun and moon rise. We also see the colors of the Bay change with the tides, clouds, wind, light.
We are focused on education about Hawai`i, being kind to animals (and all life, including humans), and we are privileged to be able to share our aloha as well as farm bounty. We grow chili peppers, ulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), noni, vegetables, bananas, olena (turmeric), ginger, etc.
Not pictured is the common kitchen area.
We have access to Reiki, massage, and other types of services. We have kayaks, surfboards, general snorkel and beach gear, SUPs, and connections to local businesses for other opportunities (e.g., horseback riding, sailing, rowing, etc.).
There are surfing, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, scuba, horseback riding, and hiking options nearby. We are also conveniently near a mall and many great places to eat. It is also lovely to hang out here at the farm and enjoy the peace, away from concrete and traffic congestion. There are places to explore and a steep climb one can hike to get to the edge of the property where there are many and even more spectacular views.
We are a real homestead and aspiring organic farm focused on Hawaiian Heritage plants and a Sanctuary for animals. We have many Native Hawaiian plants, superfoods, and culturally important plants. We also have Bucket and Scream (our goats), Venus, Zenith, and Sweetie (farm cats), Ipo (Australian Shepard farm dog), turkeys (Royal Palms), and a bunch of chickens.
It is possible to get around in the near area, and on and off the property, on The Bus. The Bus stop is down a hill about 5 minutes away.
We are always involved in community and local food, so let us know your interests. & let us know if you want to plant plants, weed bad grass, attend a cacao ceremony, or donate to a good cause.

Waimanalo, HI · 4 sites · RVs, Lodging
This exquisite and secluded property is located at the base of the Koʻolau mountains in Waimānalo. Surrounded by breath-taking views that will captivate and invigorate your spirit, this private property offers an experience that is one of a kind. With over 10 acres to explore, this regenerative farm is home to many fruit trees, indigenous plants, wild chickens, and other beautiful birds that you will likely spot while taking a stroll on our nature path. We have worked really hard to care for this ʻāina (land), and we are happy to share it with respectful travelers looking for a quiet, authentic, farm-stay experience.
Camp Koʻolau provides bathrooms, a warm-water outdoor shower with an amazing view, and parking. Our farm is only a 5-minute drive to the beach, and 15 minutes from popular, Kailua town.
As a working farm, we do have insects and geckos hanging around. So, it's not uncommon to encounter them. Also, we often have visits from wild pigs that come down from the mountain, so you may see them as well. Although we are certain you will love this place, please keep in mind, it takes a lot of hard work to maintain it. Thus, you will probably hear farm equipment and activities buzzing about (typically on the weekends). And, we want you to respect, love, and care for this place as much as we do by leaving it better than you found it.

The Bali Hale allows you to experience the magic of the outdoors, while still having many modern comforts of home.
With a completely screened in guest room featuring a queen bed and nightstands, you can let the coquis lull you to sleep and then wake up to the sound of songbirds. In your own private 1/2 acre, secluded from the main house, you are surrounded by 6 acres of jungle and palm trees, spend your days swinging in the outdoor chair hammock; cooking food in the kitchen, (which is complete with electric stovetop, blender, sink, fridge and toaster oven); taking a hot bath in the jungle or outdoor shower; meditate and practice yoga asana on your own outdoor yoga platform; or on a clear night spend your time by a campfire while gazing at the stars.
Only 9 blocks from the ocean cliffs, a 5 minute drive will have you viewing epic sunrises, fishing, hiking or simply breathing deep lung fulls of the cleanest air in the world. You can also drive 35 minutes to the Pohiki warm ponds (volcanically heated tide pools), grab a coffee at the Tin Shack or shop the boutiques in eclectic Pahoa town, or head up the mountain to Volcanos National Park.
Experience a slice of the jungle, all while being amidst a laid back neighborhood, close to the main roads that will take you on your next adventure!

Super cute, cozy, and comfortable. Communication with host was great. Secluded and beautiful flora. We arrived during Nolo and spent our time in the Bee Bungalow, sitting on the covered porch, sipping coffee, listening to the rain and nature sounds as most everything was closed due to the storm. It was a great place to hibernate waiting for the storm to pass. I little slice of heaven.

4 nights at Gorgeous Views-Farm-Jungle-Ocean
We had a magnificent stay at this homestead from start to finish! Jess was flexible in working with us on our arrival time and we were able to work out doing a mixture of the treehouse experience (truly unique spot with amazing views) and staying in another spot on the property which was helpful as we went to a wedding at nearby Kualoa Ranch and it was nice to have some additional amenities for (e.g., shower, mirror). If you have questions about the land or your stay, Jess is very easeful and kind to work with. For me, this is an excellent location as your ready to drive that beautiful coast to the North Shore while still close to town in windward. Highlights of the site were listening to the rain while treehouse napping, hanging with animals on the property - goats, cats, dog, chickens and turkeys, birdwatching, plant observing, and interacting with other campers. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to soon :)

It was one of our best stays ever. Very relaxing and tranquil. Just staying here would rejuvenate you and relieve all your stress. This quickly became the highlight of our trip to Big Island. My partner and I had the most romantic experience here. This is highly recommended place for couples. The place is well designed and has everything you will need to feel like home. My wife loved their welcome book and aesthetics of this place. We booked this for 2 days as part of our honeymoon and we would absolutely come again here.

We loved staying at Dawn’s Mermaid Lair! It was exactly as described. We stayed two nights. It is a great location for arriving from Kailua-Kona, visiting Volcanoes NP for a day, and setting us up for Hilo and points north the following day. The kitchen was lovely and had everything we needed to prepare simple meals for ourselves. Dawn is lovely and knowledgeable and we enjoyed talking with her.
