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!

Mani is the BEST! - By far, Tiki carving was one of the best activities we did while on vacation and we did a lot of excursions each day!!! The location is magnificent and so relaxing!!! We learned so much about this cultural art form and plan to always visit Mani to carve a new Tiki. We learned the history of the Tiki and felt honored to spend time with such an amazing artist. Mani’s energy is so calm and patient. The environment is peaceful. This excursion certainly encompasses the spirit of Aloha!!! This was the grand finale of our vacation, and it far exceeded our expectations!!! It was a quiet ending to create something special while reflecting on our memories we created! The best part was that we got to bring back our Tiki to remind us of our new memories!!! TSA did unpack our Tiki’s in our carry-on luggage because they didn’t know what it was at first! It was not problem getting through the agricultural scans that followed in case you are concerned about that part coming back to the mainland. Make sure save time and money to purchase some amazing artwork in the giftshop! This location also has a cool cultural ATV and zipline experience. So definitely check that out as well!!! This is a new permanent stop for us during our annual Hawaiian trip! If you are on the line with booking, DO IT! You won’t regret it!!! Thanks Mani for a magical experience!!! See you next year!!! The ATV tours looked like a lot of fun as well! They passed us on their way exploring!
