Big Island Jungle Tour with Banana Green Tea
Description
We will begin our jungle tour by giving our guests up close access to our large scale hand carved tiki collection made from Hawaiian Ohia wood. Our set of tikis is the largest collection of rain forest tikis in Hawaii. We then give guests up close access to our lava rock sculpture collection, including Mount Rastamore. We will next show and explain our tropical garden which features over 300 Hawaiian Hapuu ferns. We will then demonstrate banana cultivation techniques used to harvest our collection of over 150 apple banana trees. Next we will lead our guests into our outdoor art gallery featuring our latest exhibition. Guests will then be given the opportunity to use a hammer and chisel to carve a tiki. They will experience the Okina, an off grid structure made from recycled pallets. We will end up in our Tiki Tea Bar for a sample of refreshing guava green tea. Each guest also receives a free rainforest gift.

Fascinating visit with Jason and Nikki in understanding what it's like to live, essentially, "off the grid". We were given a tour of their property, learned about the local plants, the lava flows and much more. Also enjoyed seeing the art work that they created!
Mahalos for the great review. We hope to see you both again soon! Aloha Aina
We had wonderful time with Jason and Nikki exploring their jungle. They put a lot of work into this land making it accessible and wonderful place for enjoying the nature. All the art pieces, sculptures, tiki wood and stone carvings, paintings bring additional joy and make this jungle land a very unique place. We enjoyed so much that we had hard time to leave.
Mahalos for the great review. We hope to see you again soon!! Aloha Aina
We were captivated by the creative ingenuity of the hosts of the Big Island Jungle Tour, Niki and Jason. We were shown how they have transformed wild jungle, one rock and many plants at a time, into an oasis fit for outdoor enthusiasts. With their bare hands and some basic tools, and creativity, they have turned the jungle into a home.
Much Mahalos for the great review!! Y'all are welcome back anytime.. Aloha Aina
Not for the physically challenged or closed minded. Definitely for enjoying genuine creative people.

My wife and I learned so much today from Jason and Nicki about the natural habitat around their land and the work that they have put into it is mind boggling, we had a very hands on experience from sawing, chiseling and a little axe work, absolutely nothing goes to waste out their and Jason and Nicki are the best hostesses you will ever meet, after 2 hours out their it was like we had been friends for years, I highly recommend paying them a visit you won't regret it

I can’t express how happy I am for this tour. Jason and his wife taught us so much about the islands, bananas, and even about life. You can see all the effort that went into making this a great experience. Everything is made and planned with love. By the end of it, we were chatting like friends. A nice escape from our busy lives and fake people. A truly engaging tour with really fun activities!

It was an amazing educational experience that shows you the untouched true beauty of the Big Island. Jason and Nikki are true keepers of the spirit of Aloha. It was a great tour that we will be taking again just to back to visit and see what's new in the jungle!!
We are looking forward to seeing you all again. We had an amazing time.. Mahalos for the great review!! Malama Aina
The couple hosting the tour were very welcoming and excited for our company. We learnt a lot from them about the way of life of the locals on the big island and how they make the best of their environment. We enjoyed learning about the types of plants they had, their eco friendly ways of living, and their technique on how they approach planting without accessibility to much top soil. Most of all, we enioyed the conversations! Myself and my husband certainly recommend this tour!
Much Mahalos for the great review!! Hopefully you both can visit us again..Malama Aina
