Big island, Hi

About this trip

Come hang out with Anna and Darryl for an epic week on Hawaii’s Big Island! You’ll have the chance to snorkel with manta rays, hike to waterfalls and a secluded green sand beach, kayak and swim next to sea turtles, and visit Volcano National Park. We’ll be staying at a stunning 20 person house on a working coffee plantation with sweeping views of Mokuakae Bay and an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Darryl was stationed in Hawaii for two years during his time in the Navy and will be showing us his favorite spots on the island (as well as some of his signature cocktails). Anna loves to cook and will be captaining delicious meals full of fresh Hawaiian produce. We’ll be hosting some themed parties, so come ready to dress up, make new friends, find some adventure, and admire the natural beauty of the island.
