The Best! - The tiki carving was by far our favorite experience while visiting the Big Island. Mani was our master carver and we could not have been happier. Mani's level of talent at carving is exceptional! He is definitely an artist and can just look at the piece of wood and envision something. He is so personable and shared history of his family and tiki carving. He guided us during the carving process and then he carved the design at the top after we told him what we wanted. You can just feel the love he has for his craft. It truly was an amazing experience! Thank you Mani for the memories we will always hold!

My unique birthday experience at Tiki carving - My most memorable parts of the activity were actually being in Kona and carving my own unique Tiki with Mani. My friends and family are in envy of my experiences during my travel journey and this is one of my favorite. Listening to Mani tell of his culture and upbringing was very interesting and watching him interact and instruct this small private group was a once in a lifetime experience. I will try to schedule it with some very special friends in the future. I would like to suggest that a bottle of water could be added as part of the experience to keep ppl hydrated during the heat as a suggestion. Overall the price was great and the experience was wonderful. I would certainly participate in the future. Mani is a true artist and a warm spirit. The receptionist is warm and friendly which is so nice to be greeted by such a lovely person as you initially enter the adventure. Complete your waiver in advance online so that you’ll be ready to go. It was my birthday experience and I’m so glad I had this opportunity as it was unique and I made memories. I met a lovely couple who I plan to keep in contact with and get to know them as friends. I couldn’t ask for a better time .

Outstanding - Truly outstanding experience. Far better than we expected. The instructor was amazing. He's not only an incredible carver, but tremendous teacher. He was great with the 9-year old grandson, and his mother. We all felt very safe. The results are now family heirlooms. We learned a lot more from the instructor than just carving. Highly recommended!

Master carver - Mani was phenomenal! He is such a talented master carver. My daughter and grandson had a very memorable experience. Our grandson had a mythical phoenix that he had designed. Mani carved it at the top of his tiki!!! Both of their carvings turned out awesome. I highly recommend this experience!

NOTHING BETTER THAN MAKING YOUR OWN SOUVENIR! - We had an amazing time carving tiki's at Aloha Adventure Farms! Moni, the master carver is kind, professional, funny, and very talented! He instructs, guides, and then helps you walk away with something you are very proud of! The whole experience was positive from booking our reservation, through check-in, carving, and farewell. This is our second time and we love it! We highly recommend!

Highlight of Our Vacation - This was the highlight of our trip for 3 fifteen year olds and their Dad/Uncle. They loved their host and were so happy to have a quality handmade souvenir to return home with. I would most highly recommend this experience.

Such a special experience! - What a unique and special activity for our families!! Mani was extremely patient and helpful with the kids (ages 12, 13, 14) and gave us the opportunity to make a one of a kind souvenir that they will treasure forever because they actually made it! I HIGHLY recommend this tour (and their ATV tour) to anyone and everyone!!!

Carve your own tiki - This was the highlight of our vacation in Hawaii. Mani is an unbelievable artist and a great teacher for carving your own tiki. My daughter was fortunate enough to be the only person in the group her day and she loved the attention Mani gave her. The tiki she ended up carving was incredible. The other 2 families we were with were very jealous they didn't do this activity. Will definitely do this again!
