We loved our stay at the Wekuke Ranch Ohana! Katie and Michael are the nicest hosts and the little oasis they have created for travelers is truly a gem! The outdoor shower was amazing and it was surrounded by Hawaiian ti plants and curtains for privacy. The outdoor kitchen is fun for morning coffee prep or nightly dinners while keeping you dry during rain downpours. We also loved seeing their dogs, piko and opu, around and having them stop by on their nightly visits for a tail wag and ear scratch. The Mac nut and fruit trees around their property were a real treat and the close proximity to the Captain Cook hike and snorkel spot makes it a must stay in the area if that hike is one of your main goals. They also have some beach toys (umbrella, chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards) for you to borrow for your stay at the Ohana.
A quick note on the hike, if you start from the ranch, its 4.2 miles round trip and its straight down and straight up. We went on a rainy day and it was still totally worth it. We saw lots of goats on the way down and a few pigs on the way up. During the snorkel portion, we saw tons of colorful fish of all varieties. If you go later in the afternoon, like we did, you might be the only ones their. If its sunny, pack lots of water and sunscreen and be prepared for lots of breaks.
All in all it we had an amazing time and hopefully we will be back soon!!!
