Keeping the vines from overtaking the fruit trees is a big job, and they deserve it! Bananas, avocados, mountain apples, oranges, grapefruit, coconuts, starfruit, cacao and mangosteen, all full size and fruiting well when in season. Lots of coffee, lilikoi vines, taro and wild spinach. I can take you kayaking and hiking, also a weekly market. "experiencing technical difficulties, please send an email address in your first message!"

This was my first time using Worldpackers and it was wonderful. Matt is an excellent host. He can do everything, hunt pigs, milk goats, catch fish, and plant. He makes his own jelly and harvests from the land. I had fun going on adventures with him into the woods and the ocean. We cooked really good food together. 10/10. It's a valley a half hour from a large town, I flew into Hilo airport and the buses are free but take a long time. Matt's car is broken right now and his friend came and took us for a trip. If you want to have a car all the time Matt knows some people that rent cars.

Aloha !!! I'm overwhelmed by the experience, Matthew showed me a lot of different thing in the terms of sustainability and harvesting! He's positive energy really influenced me to adjust to the Hawaiian way of living. If you want an adventure that includes catching fish, fruits etc and eat delicious food! So if you want to leave big city life, for a moment and se things differently you have to apply ! It was mind opening, sleeping in a tent and eat all kinds of fruits ! Mahalaos

This experience was life changing for sure. Mat is a really good person and host! Get ready to eat a lot of local and delicious food. II realized that we live with way more than we need and harvesting your own food is essential to realize that. For tasks, I helped opening coconut and extracting the meat and coconut milk. It was the best coconut ever! I also helped harvesting fruits and removing weed. Mat is open but is important to communicate with him about what he expects from you, otherwise you can feel a bit lost. Best wishes to Mat and Illeo, aloha! 💙

:):):) Thank you Carol it was a great time. It feels wonderful to have people really get into preparing food from nature. Thank you for coming with a centered being and a happiness for life. I know I have a freeform style that is hard sometimes. I can work on putting tasks on paper, it would probably help. Much Aloha and all the best out there. Send a picture of your work anytime you feel it they were super cool. :)
