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.

The Kikala Waterfall Lodge at the Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve is a lodge nested in a botanical garden and farm dedicated to the preservation of the world's plant biodiversity. Situated on the southeast facing flanks of Mauna Kea overlooking Hilo Bay and the Hamakua Coast, the bioreserve benefits of a unique climate where the lowland rainforest climate zone (Koeppen climate Zone Af) overlaps with the oceanic temperate mountain zone of Mauna Kea (Koeppen Climate Zone Cfb). The result is a cool and wet climate zone that supports many of the world's endangered palms and conifers.
The bioreserve features 14 acres of riverfront Cloud forest. The Kikala river runs through the middle of the bioreserve, so Kikala Waterfall Lodge guests on the bioreserve have private exclusive access to prime waterfalls and swimming holes.

Between adventures, indulge in comfort: pure mountain well water to refresh you, a spacious hot shower, pristine restrooms, a crystal-clear pool, and a jacuzzi beneath the stars. By day, explore; by night, soak, sip, and let the waves serenade you to sleep.
This is not just camping—it’s immersion. A rare blend of wilderness and ease. Wild Blue Waters is where your Hawaiian adventure begins.
Note: All water is supplied daily by our cool mountain-fed well, and the land is lovingly guarded by five friendly ranch dogs—loyal companions who quickly win your heart and keep the property safe and welcoming.

It was great to stay at Christopher and Esther’s. The cabin is very nice and clean. They were very welcoming. It’s very close to the volcano national park. And the kids loved feeding the ducks!

The campsite towards the back of the property is tranquil solitude! Amazing bird watching. Loved the dogs and they seemed to love us too. Had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again. Oh and all you can eat macadamia nuts.

There’s hipcamp sites and then there’s this place! I’d take this over a resort any day. Incredible property with clean and comfortable facilities, amazing pool and hot tub, and incredible ocean views. Felt lucky to be there. Also loved the very friendly and well behaved dogs. Thanks Shawn and fam!

3 nights at The Tranquil Homestead
Esther and Christopher were great hosts, we were warmly welcomed and got a tour of the cabin. Very responsive, communication was great. The cabin was great. Close to the national park, we got to see the eruption and a sky full of stars, it’s so dark there!
The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and more.
The ducks are awesome!
Thank you Esther and Christopher for making our first trip to Hawaii unforgettable!

3 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
We enjoyed our stay at Yip Camp. Thomas was very welcoming and so was his dog Yip. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome! And the locatIon was perfect - super close to Volcano National Park.

Tent camping here was fantastic! Having the side access road made it super easy to drive right up to the campsite to unload. The hot outdoor shower was amazing, and relaxing by the saltwater pool was the perfect way to unwind. On top of that, our host was awesome—they gave us a great tour of the property and were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

What an absolute magical spot.
We're so grateful the family is so kind to share their dream with others.
- The camp sites were perfectly spaced with lush greenery providing good privacy.
- We brought our dog which worked out perfectly with friendly doggos nearby.
- The cliff view of the Wild Blue Water catches the morning sun perfectly and the view is to die for.
- Full sized bathroom was stocked and ready to go.
- The pool and jacuzzi were a nice touch for a quick dip.
- Super impressed with how well all of trees/plants were taken care of, pleasure to walk around and enjoy the nature.
10/10 coming back to camp again! 🤙

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
Thomas is such an amazing host! He has the coolest jungle property in Fern Forest. Only 15-20minutes from Volcano NP. The cottage is quaint and very comfortable, and the glamping tent sites are an awesome option too! At night, you're treated to a symphony of Coqui tree frog chirps to fall asleep to.
Yip is the sweetest dog who loves to greet people with several ''Yips" but then just wants to sit in your lap and get head scratches.
I can't say enough about my stay.
Thanks Tom! Looking forward to next time brother!

Our time at Yip camp was nothing short of magical and mystical experience with a touch of home and hospitality that kept us warm and safe in the August rains. Great amenities such as a working kitchen and an outdoor bathroom facility, kept us in touch with the land but comfortably charmed with the village vibe provided. Thomas was beyond excellent hosting us: providing gorgeous lights, great conversations, and his menagerie of pets. We're definitely gonna book him for our next adventure in the region 😊

What a paradise this is! If you are used to camping this is definitely a step up! The grounds are well manicured, with 4 camping areas nicely spaced apart with fruit and flowering trees all around. There’s a pathway past the pool to an amazing lookout to the sea cliffs, which are amazing to sit, watch and listen to the waves crash. The bathroom and shower area are better than any I’ve experienced for a Hipcamp so far, definitely a step up! This is an amazing piece of paradise that these kind folks cultivated and are willing to share, so that makes it even more special. If you are journeying near Pahoa (which is funky fun town to check out), definitely make your base camp here. The pups are also adorable and very friendly, Bear and Splash hung out for a bit to run around on the grass with us and love all belly rubs! This was definitely a highlight on our trip and we will absolutely visit again! Thank you for having us!! All the best!!
