Mani was super fun to watch. He made it really easy, fun, and was very easy to talk to. We have a 10 year old and this was one of his favorite things he has done on the island. Our tiki's turned out so cool, we would definitely do this again.

This is by far one of the best experiences I have ever ever had on vacation! Maddie and his brother are amazing not only in sharing the history of wood carving but also at teaching. There is a beautiful view and we laughed not only with amazing memories of a fun time a great new friends and some tiki guys that are going to Watch over our home. I highly recommend this tour it is it hidden gem!! I cannot say enough good things! Also the experience with the app forget your guide was very helpful and the team easy to work with. Definitely worth the value and the time I wouldn’t have traded this experience for anything in the world it was truly Authentic Hawaiian!
