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!

Tiki Fun! - Mani was an excellent teacher- great personality too.. We totally enjoyed the experience. Now we each have our own hand carved tiki!

FanTikiTasitick! - Best excursion on the Big Island! Mani is a Master! So helpful, friendly and Great Teacher! You will not be disappointed! Priceless!

The best people on the island and one of the best activities ever - The tiki carving was the hi-light of our trip and we made great friends! Our daughter was getting married and Mani brought us a wonderful drink at the reception, and Hia and his wife met us at the Church. They are O'hana! Thanks Mani, Oh, and Hia.

Tons of fun - Mani was absolutely amazing! My wife and I had the best time and would recommend this to anyone coming to the island. It was so much fun learning to carve and about his background.

A very special experience - The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Our tikis came out beautiful!! Would 100% recommend this to anyone. One of our favorite things we did on this trip. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Carving tour for the win! - The carving tour was so much fun!! My husband and I give it a 10/10. Mani was so patient and great to work with. He is very talented and we felt lucky to get to work with him. We are so happy about the finished Tiki. It is so nice to have a souvenir that you helped make.

Great Cultural Experience - This was a great way to experience Polynesian culture up close and with a very scenic, beautiful view of the Pacific. Mani is a very nice man and helps even those with no experience carving anything make a great souvenir tiki.
