If you are coming from Hilo, it will be about a 25 minute drive. (If you are coming between 4 and 6 p.m. allow an extra 15 or 20 minutes for heavy traffic. ) Go towards Pahoa on Highway 130. Just past mile marker 4 turn right on Pohaku Place. (this is between Pohaku Drive and Pohaku Circle).
 
Turn right and go all the way to the end, then make a left and then your first right. This street is Laniuma. Go up to 39th and turn right. We are the second driveway on the left: 16-1436 39th St. Please note that at times the roads can be bumpy or there may be pot holes when there are heavy rains, so drive with caution.

If you are coming from Pahoa, it will take about 20 minutes. Go towards Hilo, turn left on Orchidland Drive, right on 37th, left on Laniuma where it is paved. Go up to 39th, make a right and we're the second driveway on the left: 16-1436 39th.

We request that if you are having difficulty finding the place or are running late to please call and let us know.

If you are staying in the guestroom, drive around the main house and park in the carport. Just to the left will be the stairs to your room. There will be a note on the door. Our office closes at 6 p.m. so please make yourself at home if you arrive after the regular check in time. The bath house is the small building with the blue room, just across the driveway.

Please know that your drive here will be an adventure. Some of the roads are bumpy, so be prepared for a bit of a bouncy ride.  It is safe to drive here in a regular car, but you will need to take your time.

If you are spending the night, arrival times for check-in are between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Hawai'i time. Arriving after dark is difficult because there are no street lights up here, and it can be difficult to locate the property.

This is a rainforest environment. Plan to arrive accordingly. Certain times of day (morning and late afternoon) the mosquitoes come out, especially when there is rain, (which is often) and you don't want to be their favorite snack. Be sure you are protected, and avoid eating sweet food before your arrival. We use natural methods to control the mosquitoes so they are not toxic, only annoying. Please note that we do not give refunds if you want to leave because the mosquitoes are bugging you.

We look forward to your visit!
