The best safari tent rentals near Kahaluu-Keauhou, Hawaii

Ginger Farms was a nice place to stay and very different than the other resort style experiences offered on Hawaii. I really enjoyed making coffee every morning in the outdoor kitchen. A few things I would have liked to know before staying, the outdoor shower is cold water only. I feel like I should have figured that out for myself but it didn't occur to me until I was there. Also, for those not as familiar with the weather or foliage, it will definitely be damp....just a part of the experience and nothing to do with the stay itself. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The camp site was stocked with everything I needed. The outdoor shower was cute and having a toilet in the tent was perfect for me. A very comfortable experience.

Weekend Trip to Gingerhill Farm Retreat

A hidden gem! We were in need of a much needed staycation since we live in Hawaii. The grounds are beautiful and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Every morning during our stay, the owner walked the grounds performing an oli’ (hawaiian chant). The bed was comfortable. If you’re a visitor and want a different experience or just get away from tourist areas, this is a great option. BEWARE though that the Big Island has a “coqui” problem which are invasive frogs that loudly chirp throughout the night so BRING EAR PLUGS! (A suggestion to Iris & Zach is to provide ear plugs for guests).

Weekend Trip to Waipi'o Lodge

What a beautiful place to start our trip!!! We stayed here as our first night on Hawaii Island before heading down into Waipio valley for another hip camp stay and some backpacking and it was a fantastic way to start our trip!!! The tent we stayed in was luxury at it's finest with a super comfortable bed, spectacular views and all the amenities that you could ask for!! It felt more like luxury than camping and we absolutely loved it!! Greg and his family were very friendly, kind and helpful and we are so grateful for them sharing their home with us!! Thank you again for a wonderful trip to a wonderful place!! Mahalo!!

We enjoyed the tent camping! It had a great set-up! Outdoor kitchen and heated shower, inside toliet- all clean and stocked. Nice attention to details. Private feeling. We would stay here again! Beware- bring earplugs. With coqui frogs and farm animals, it was a noisy night.

Iris and Zach's land is truly special. You will find yourself surrounded by dense vegetation and fruit trees across the whole property. The birds are very active as well, so the sounds of the outdoors are all around you. The tent we stayed in was very comfortable and included electricity and a fan in case you get a little warm at night. The community kitchen and bath house are both close by and very nice to use. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the patio of the kitchen, with plenty of tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your meals while looking out over the water. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Amazing location! The platform tents are very ‘glamping’ luxurious- electricity, comfortable bed, spacious tent, lovely porch to watch sunrise over the ocean, hot showers and full plumbing bathroom across the yard, well-stocked outdoor kitchen to use. It was quiet, peaceful and absolutely beautiful. The hosts were friendly getting us checked in and oriented. Only wish we had planned to stay more nights!
