Large 'Big Island' Canvas Tent
Stay in a Tropical Garden!
We loved camping at Sun Farm! In fact, we loved it so much that we canceled our Waikiki resort plans at end of our 2 week stay on the Island to instead come back to end our vacation at the farm.
We spent 5 nights at the Sun Farm in their Big Island canvas tent, then we changed things up and parked a camper van (The Big Kahuna) at the farm for 3 nights. And then came back for the end of our trip to stay again in the Big Island tent.
Felt like a kibbutz. Cool laid back vibe. All the basics were covered. The farm is clean and has flush toilets! Every reservation had a dedicated space in a fridge, a dedicated tub to put dry food goods and everyone had access to communal gas burners to cook on. The Gilligan's Island shower under banana leaves took the experience over the top.
The rotating volunteer staff were great and fun to get to know. It was surprisingly rural being that it was so close to town. Good location to access Honolulu, Southern Coast (Makapuku'u, Haunama Bay) and the Windward Coast (Wiamanalo, Kailua, Lanikai).
The farm is literally on the back slope of Koko Head (which BTW has a Plumeria garden inside the crater, a must see)!
It was fun to walk around the farm's gardens of tropical fruit trees. Be sure and take advantage of the fresh fruit they have for sale there via the honor system!
FYI--the roosters do start to crow early (3am) and you might want to bring your own utensils and paper ware to eat off of as there is no kitchen hot water to wash dishes.

Medium "Molokai" Canvas Tent
The Molokai tent was even cleaner, cuter and comfier than I imagined. The land was beautiful and well situated to good hikes and beaches in the area. Very glad I stopped in here for a night.

Perfect location for those looking to explore Koko Head. Easy to find, calm & quiet location with all necessities available. Everyone was welcoming and I enjoyed looking at the various plants and animals around the property.

Large 'Oahu' Canvas Tent
An absolute gem!
This was a wonderful stay and I am delighted that I found this farm. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, easy to navigate and very welcoming. The farm is a peaceful, relaxing place with pretty views of the sunset and a chill vibe. I really liked the bed, it was a foam mattress that was on the softer side which is my preference. The wind and rain can really whip through at night and the yurt was quite secure, I didn't have any worries about it malfunctioning. There are a number of campers as well as some WWOOFers sharing the common spaces and it was easy to socialize or be more private, everyone had courtesy for one another.
The kitchen area was easy to prepare meals in and had everything that we needed to make a homecooked meal. The bathrooms and shower were clean and if we had to wait our turn to use them it was only a brief wait. The plants and landscaping around the farm were pretty and truly add to the ambiance. The other travelers we met at the farm were all on a good vibration and we had some enjoyable conversations. This place is a gem and I will 1000% book a stay here in the future.
Marcos is a great communicator and was available for any questions we had. I highly recommend camping at Sun Farm Hawaii if you get the chance.
