Carving with Mani was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! It was FANTASTIC! We learned so much about this authentic and traditional Hawaiian craft. Mani is one of the best carvers in the world. He took so much time with us. He is hysterical!! I will do this every time I visit the Big Island. Great activity for families with teens.

This was a great ending to our Hawaiian vacation. Our host was amazing. He was a great teacher and ensured that we all went home with a tiki we were proud to have made. We had lots of laughs too. Definitely recommend this experience.

Mahalo for your kind words! We’re so glad you had a fantastic time on our Tiki Carving Tour! There’s nothing quite like the experience of creating your own tiki while learning about the deep cultural significance behind this incredible Polynesian tradition. It’s always rewarding to see our guests connect with the artistry and history in such a hands-on way! Your hand-carved tiki is not just a souvenir—it’s a symbol of the time, effort, and aloha you put into it, and we love that you got to take a piece of the islands home with you. Thank you for being a part of our ohana for the day! We’d love to have you back for more adventure and cultural experiences in the future. 🌴🗿
