Feriehus i Hawaiian Beaches

If you've never snorkeled but always wanted to learn and try it out, this experience will give you the skills for one of the easiest and amazing things to do on a tropical vacation! A wonderful underwater awaits! One and a half-hour session includes safety briefing, fitting and proper use of equipment, snorkeling techniques, snorkel tour, fish identification, and how to be an ocean ambassador. I will help you quickly learn to snorkel and take you out to meet Hilo's beautiful fish. Unlike other tours I won't just give you the equipment and throw you out in the ocean - I'll be with you every step of the way! Other things to note -- I specialize in non-swimmers or people who are fearful of the water. -- All skill levels welcome - tour will be tailored to snorkelers' needs -- Tours are limited to 6 people to ensure safety and the best experience! If you have more than 6 people in your party, please contact me. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. I do not take a cell phone with me - please DO NOT text, email, or try to call me 30 minutes prior to reservation time. 2. Leave valuables locked in your car 3. Rain or shine, no refunds for rain (exceptions: high surf advisories, park closure) 4. If you have some snorkel skills, we can do a more advanced guided tour 5.

After looking at some sample shirts, we will go in the yard and see what kind of leaves/plants/shapes/stencils you would like to use as the stencil for your shirt. This is rain forest with a lot of ferns and trees. Not like these don't grow elsewhere, I was told this is not just an Hawaiian thing, but this is where I am and where I can show you. Just a fun activity using the beauty we have around. You can pick out a shirt and we will mix a bleaching solution of the right strength for the color shirt picked. Additional shirts will be available for a small fee if desired, they make nice souvenirs :) Group size up to 4 people. My outdoor studio is screened in, masks and gloves are provided. We lay out our shirts and spray them with the solution front and back and wait what happens. While we have something to drink and talk story, the shirts get double washed and you can take the damp shirt with you.

The jungle awaits ~ ◇ I'll guide us from town (20 minutes) down to the magical Red Road of Puna. Along our way you’ll spot numerous fruit trees and jungle canopies and unremarkable ocean views > Our first hike to the coast uncovers multiple natural pools to entice the toes, a hidden coconut grove, caves and lava tubes! >> Next, the 2018 lava flow took out the pohoiki boat launch but we were blessed with geothermal heated pools that are hard to pass up even on a sunny day! >>> Last and certainly my favorite. No tour would be complete without a trek down a secret jungle trail that leads us to our own personal sandy beach! Rough waters so don’t expect to swim here without perfect conditions but I guarantee it’s beauty will be sure to take your breath away! ••• I’ll provide a variety of locally sourced fruits. Some of which I grew and harvested myself! ••• I recommend bringing footwear. However, I’ve lived out here for a while now and prefer going barefoot so do as you please * It is my passion to explore the wonders of this island and to help spread awareness of health and sustainable living. My goal is to give you an enjoyable, educational and eye opening experience that you’ll never forget! If you’re ready, let’s make it happen! Hope to see you soon, Mahalo!

We will begin the session with pranayama, breathing to focus inwardly. I teach a special mudra, or hand gesture, to go along with the breathing. Following we will start some simple asanas, postures, to warm up. We then move into vinyasa, flow yoga. I usually start with a basic 'sun salutation' which I learned in India. After vinyasa flow, we will practice the standing postures for balance. The session will conclude with stretching and complete relaxation in 'savasana' on the floor. Other things to note No experience is necessary before attending this yoga session. We will move at your own pace, making modifications to fit the practice to you.

A Pack Goat Petting Zoo! Upon arrival to the farm, I will greet guests and discuss the homestead, the available facilities and farm bio-sanitation protocols. I will present "goat etiquette 101" with guests and answer questions. We will take a short 2-3 minute walk through parts of the farm, over grass trails, to the "petting zoo" area and engage in feeding and socializing with anywhere from 2-10 friendly, naturally-horned, goats. I will demonstrate how to "saddle up" a pack goat and allow guests to take a short "goat walk" with our friendly trail companions! After guests have an opportunity to spend time with the pack goats and other farm animals, you are welcome to relax and enjoy hand-selected, in-season, local fruits, hand crafted chocolate, and more!
