It was an adventure of a lifetime I never forget. At Akiko’s you dip deep into the magic of the big island. The yoga classes on Mondays and Thursday are the best I ever had. People that stay here are usually solotravelers. Strangers become friends. This place is in the middle of the jungle but I felt save as a female solotraveler. You can stay there to slow down or get on adventures to explore the Island like I did. For that I recommend a rental car. It’s a good spot to explore Mauna Kea and Volcanoes Nationalpark. It’s although close to Hilo. When you stay there for a while something inside you will rise. That may sound strange. You‘ll understand when you experience it yourself. And don’t forget your raincoat. Mahalo for letting young solotravelers stay with you Akiko.
