HI Vibrations Hale is the ideal get-away place to stay when visiting Hilo and surrounding areas (Kea ‘au, Pahoa, Kalapana). It was exactly what we were looking for in our relax-cation travel. Located in Orchidland Estates, this low-keyed, yet, well-equipped and very clean hale is only a 20-minutes easy drive from Hilo Int’l airport. Located in a residential rural neighborhood, we were greeted by the lulling sounds of nearby farm animals and the lush abundant scents on the property. Many plants abound on this working organic farm and Merlin is a wonderful and gracious hostess and teacher who can show you the abundance offered by Aina. The farm-to-table experience is highly recommended. Merlin strives to make meals with at least 75% produce from her gardens. Food never tasted so good! There is a sense of community that emanates from HI Vibrations. We were fortunate in meeting some of her neighbors and would highly recommend meeting them (hint: lomi lomi massage). The love and energy emanating from the gardens and surrounding areas does indeed set one’s vibration higher. We felt transported to a different world staying here at HI Vibrations – a good world. Back to times when things were much simpler and quiet. Mahalo, Merlin for creating and maintaining such a magical place! We will be back soon! ~ Aloha.
