Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Hawaiian Rainforest Glamping is located in Fern Forest, a rural neighborhood, on three verdant acres of ōhiʻa lehua trees, tree ferns, banana plants, and fruit trees at 2100 feet. The yurt has its own bathroom with a flushing toilet and vanity sink. There is a large communal kitchen (a 16' x 16' kitchen cabin) that you can use free of charge, and an outdoor shower with hot water. In the summer, the greenhouse in the fenced paddock is full of vegetables. Free-ranging ducks and chickens supply eggs. There is an outdoor lounge area complete with a six-person picnic table, BBQ, four hammocks, and torches. Please note that the owner lives on the premises in their own cabin, 20 feet away from the yurt. The homestead is run by 6,000 watt solar-power and a rain-catchment system with a 4,500 gallon water tank. This is a peaceful place to relax and recuperate from the din of city life. There are no street lights, just the stars and moon after sunset. On a clear night, the sky is full of stars. It rains often in this area and the sound is soothing to fall asleep to. Check out our other site on this listing—a camping cabin (Rainforest Glamping Cabin). Several places of interest are within a 1.5 hour drive. Volcano National Park is only 15 minutes away by car; Punaluʻu black sand beach is 30 minutes; Ka Lae (South Point) is about 1.5 hours; and Hoʻokena Bay is about two hours. Note—now that the the holiday season is over, the Christmas decorations have been taken down.

Rainforest Yurt

We had a really lovely stay in Alohalani's yurt! We had 3 adults and a baby and we had more than enough room. The futons were comfortable and there was cozy bedding. Having a bathroom in the yurt was nice. The outdoor shower had hot water, and the communal kitchen was well stocked. Alohalani was an incredible host. She was so kind and fun to talk to. She was responsive and really accommodating to any needs we had. We all said we would stay there again!

Rainforest Yurt

Alohalani was an amazing host. She had everything clean and beds set up for us even though we got in super late. The yurt was bigger then we expected and fit our family of 5 perfectly. Her land and set up was super cute, peaceful and we loved feeding all the ducks and chickens. 10/10 would recommend and book with her again!

A blend of paradise w/ aloha spirit

My stay at this Hip Camp in Hawaii was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in the genuine Aloha spirit that defines the island experience. Alohalani was ncredibly welcoming, treating me like ohana (family) from the get-go. Her warmth and hospitality were evident in every interaction, making me feel right at home. The campsite itself was a tropical haven, perfectly blending comfort with nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, it offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A complete blend of rustic charm and island country living. If you’re looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience steeped in genuine kindness and natural beauty, this Hip Camp is an absolute gem. I left with a heart full of gratitude and memories of true Aloha that I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend!

Rainforest Cabin

An amazing stay on Big Island

Staying at the Rainforest Cabin was an amazing experience! It's a lovely place, full of amenities, and just about everything is complimentary (shampoo, spices, etc.). We have traveled extensively and have never seen such an excellent communal kitchen in the past. There is more stuff than we have at home, and everything is of high quality! The beds are very comfortable and we could hear numerous birds all night. Alohalani graciously offered us to use the yurt and its facilities (toilet, dining table, sofas) as there were no guests when we were staying in the cabin. It is very inexpensive for everything that's offered and the place is always spotless. The best part of the experience were the numerous discussions about Hawaiian culture with Alohani. That's what made the Rainforest Cabin a special place in our heart and a place we will recommend to all our friends. Mahalo Alohalani and you're more than welcome to stay at our place if you come to Ottawa one day. Merci beaucoup.

My friends and I LOVED staying at Alohalani’s yurt! She was so sweet and generous and the land was very nice. I would highly recommend it! The bathroom and shower were both very nice and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the supplies you would need.
