Ana and David were an absolutely lovely to me! They were so welcoming and considerate and were so willing to teach me anything about the island! Work felt like actually helping and getting stuff done! Thank you so much for this opportunity to stay with you and for giving me a wonderful first worldpacker experience!!

Ana was away when we arrived so we didn't meet her, but David was super nice! He was happy to tell us about the island and the basics we needed to know in Hawaii. Their farm is rustic and full of life which was very pleasant, but be prepared to camp in a remote location. The most difficult adjustment for us was the sleeping situation, as the rainforest tends to get pretty loud in the night (frogs and other small animals). Thank you David and Ana for a warm welcome, we recommend their exchange if you're looking to connect with nature and have an organic experience :)

This experience was phenomenal this was the second host we stayed at in Hawaii, and it was nothing short of magical. The sunrises every evening will take your breath away and the snorkeling felt like traveling to a new world. This property is seated 2,000ft above sea level yielding perfect temperatures but dreadful mosquitoes (bring lots of spray). A bus is available only a few miles down the road with a the farm stop along the way. Hitch hiking or biking is a must to spend every day to the fullest. The hosts are sweet, kind, and caring and reward hard work.

This farm is located on the side of a volcano with a beautiful view of the Kona coast of Hawaii. This farm is for someone looking for a more outdoor, rugged living experience. The cabin Ana and David provided was a quaint and provided enough space. It is up a very long and steep hill, so if you plan to da bunch of adventuring during your stay, you should be pretty fit and I suggest you become familiar with the bus routes and times, and maybe consider getting a bike. The hours were perfect and the work load wasn't too physically demanding. They were great hosts and good communicators!

The host, David is respectful and sweet. The host, Ana warns you that she is manic as you are being driven up to here house. Not up to date safety or cleanliness for your stay, if you are not a strong walker then this big hill isn't for you. Another young man was kicked out for no reason other than prejudice for all I could figure out. Be careful, some host will say and do anything for you to humble down. Do not recommend, but if you can just work with David, you might just have a good and peaceful stay.

Austin agreed to retract several serious misstatements but did not want to pay another $25 to rejoin Worldpackers. He paid us an unannounced visit earlier this week and returned a lookalike to a sentimental item which he took without permission when he left. The other young man who was here when Austin was went to another farm which Austin himself arranged. That farm threw him off when he smoked inside the worker bedroom against their rules. I actually got up in the wee hours to go pick up Alan from the beach where he slept and take him to the airport for an early flight. I am not prejudiced and always treat all my guests with the respect they deserve. I did warn Austin that I was in an emotional phase when he arrived. My partner was in the hospital when he arrived and I was under a lot of pressure at that time. I will not invite Austin to stay on our farm again for many reasons.
