I spent 3 months here as a volunteer back in 2008 and I bet it’s still as fun 11 years later, if not better! Kalani, and it’s Ohana will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. Big love to you all! x

Friendly staff and volunteers, plenty of smiles everywhere. Lush grounds full of greenery. If the paths and roads aren't paved, well, it's a rural setting attempting to preserve native growth. Three huge meals a day, mostly vegetarian. Delicious.

Sporadically since 2012, ever since my hubby Chuck and I have discovered Hilo and particularly the Yoga Coast where the rather obscure town of Pahoa in the Puna district anchors this totally amazing Kalani Oceanside Retreat, we have stayed three times (the third time being just last week) and have experienced three different types of accommodations: the Tree House, the Bungalow and the Oceanview Cottage (in that order). No matter what type of accommodation you end up with

Enjoyed the Plantation Style Studio cottage, with sunrise/moonrise views, balmy breezes, perfumed air, the song of the ocean a constant lullaby ! If you need to unwind, this is the sweet spot!. Lots of great workshops, Cultural, and Yoga. Good time to stay in the moment. Enjoy the lush grounds, great food, swimming pool, hot tubs, sauna and Watsu pool. Treat yourself to a message

Like i have read in so many posts about Kalani, the food is amazing. But its not just about the food, its the culture and community and love and support that is offered here. Surrounded by natural beauty and people from all over the world. It has taught me that life really can be this simple. Im only a week in and already i want to extend my stay.

Volunteering at Kalani for 4 months was a huge turning point and life changing experience for me. I experienced the kind of joy, freedom, love, and free spirited community that I always longed for and hope existed. So much love for this magical place!

Just be aware this place isn't what it advertises itself to be. My partner n I hated the lies and deception that started taking place by the new "leaders" in. 2016. Just be aware of what's really happening there........

Kalani Honua is a perfect run away place to kick back relax and enjoy! The beautiful Land scape in its beauty, it's also a place of Agriculture, sustainable living! Educational in Hawaiian Culture,as well a place of Healing and transforming ones life. It also have a dinning area with great food which is very healthy to your body, spirit, mind. Kalani Honua is born with the Spirit Of Aloha.

What an amazing place...we are very grateful to experience wonderful yummy food..great people and helpful staff..we will be back...Mahalo ���

After 2 years of visiting this place it kills me to consistently be dealt with so rudely at Hale Aloha. Really kills the notion of what the place is supposed to be all about. My first retreat there was awesome and definitely changed my life for the better, but apparently all the nice people who used to work there have since moved on

My first time to Kalani was in 97. I immediately knew this was a very 'special' place. The aina, healing waters, sunrises, trade winds, food, staff, dolphins, turtles, classes, workshops, and accommodations; all embodied 'Aloha'! I have been back twice since 97 and each visit has been as special. Malama pono a hui ho Kalani!

This place made me look at myself and see what I truly am. It was an answer to many prayers and I had already questioned that a place full of love could exist. Kalani made me realize that there are places like that in this world. :) Fell in love with so many beautiful people and most importantly - myself

I'm having a wonderful time here at the Yoga Retreat.The staff are very friendly & understanding of your needs.They couldn't be more helpful.The grounds are so beautiful.The food is very healthy & plentiful.The Yoga instructors are amazing!

This is our second time here and we will return again. Staff and volunteers are great to work with, the food and lodging are excellent too. Momi gave me a wonderful massage on my last day. Wish we could stay longer!

Couldn't have asked for more. I had a truly wonderful, magical, healing and transformative experience during my 1 week at Kalani. I was nervous that it would feel too hippy for me, I think, but I ended up really loving everything about the experience. The food was abundant and delicious with tons of options, mostly local foods & very fresh. I loved the communal dining style. My room was very clean and wonderful. The windows are just screens, no glass, but that was fine. The o...

I loved staying here and working with the community as a volunteer in the kitchen. Everyone is kind and welcoming. There is activities offered daily and discounts for healing services to the volunteer staff. So much warmth and love.

just returned from a week in this amazing Paradise... not enough words to describe the setting, the flowers, the warm air, the wonderful staff... can't wait to return!

It was my first time at Kalani Honua and it was wonderful ���the Staff, the beautiful Thanksgiving buffet������ the ambiance was awesome ���I mostly like dinning outdoors and it was perfect ���������⚘�One more PLUS, no SMOKING �����

There is only one Kalani! Richard and so many others have built such an amazing example of Ohana and sustainable living that if you ever get the chance to visit, GO! You will never be the same..

Mahalo kind souls of Kalani! What an amazing week, you are all such incredible people. I hope our paths cross again sooner than later. Wishing you all blessings from Colorado where yes, there is still snow! The turtle says I am not in Hawaii anymore! Peace & Love to all of you. Namaste
