Travel Info: We are located on a 44-acre tropical farm sanctuary on ancient Hawaiian lands in the Puna district, one of the last undeveloped magical coastal regions on the Big Island.
We are 20 miles Southeast of Hilo, a culturally diverse university town with a beautiful ocean view, a multitude of beach parks, waterfalls, restaurants, larger shops, and other local attractions.
We are less than 1 mile from historic Pahoa Village (easy to bike or walk), an eclectic and quirky town that hosts a handful of small restaurants, a grocery and a health food store, boutique shops, and colorful characters. Our guests love how close we are to town and how it can feel like we are worlds away from the modern world, yet a yummy dinner in town can be quick and easy.
Other nearby day trip locations include the recent Leilani lava flow featuring infamous Fissure Eight, remote black sand beaches, idyllic tide pools, Volcanoes National Park, and more. There is never a shortage of epic site to see!

I host my Barefoot Chocolatini "Bean to Bar Chocolate Farm Tours" here and it is a great venue to do so. They make their own bean to bar chocolates, grow 200+ cacao trees along with soursop, ice cream bean, jackfruit, noni, avocado, citrus, durian, and so on. So many edibles that add to the uniqueness of this place and make it an amazing agroforest... I hosted a chocolate retreat and my guest LOVED the setting, the atmosphere, the employees and interns and of course the chocolate. THANK YOU!

The accommodations and meals were fantastic, and the farm is amazing. Hawaiian Sanctuary is truly a one of a kind, awesome experience. The hospitality, amenities, and experiences there exceptional and I will always remember the amazing time and people I met there. Thank you!!
