Being at Cab's is a most unusual experience, especially after doing some of the more "traditional" Hawaii vacation things--i.e. a couple of nights in a Honolulu hotel, followed by a few nights in a condo on the north shore. You get to see the "real" Hawaii--as in, how real people live. He lives in a neighborhood, complete with neighbors, dogs and chickens.
Cab is a wonderful host, as all the other people have described. He welcomed us very warmly, offered us wonderful fruit right away, and kept offering us wonderful fruit! Right out of his garden, some of it. He also provided interesting and wonderful tidbits about other uses of botanical products. He had us pluck some Hibiscus leaves ("the young ones!") and soak and squeeze them. Then he went out into his garden and found a ginger pod and came back to show us how much liquid one could squeeze out of that. Both were wonderful products to clean and soften our hair! It was terrific! He also introduced us to a new type of tea made from the husk of the coffee beans. It was delicious and has only a quarter of the caffeine of coffee.
The other thing Cab did was help us find a dinner spot and he went out of his way to arrange a reservation for us at Opal Thai, which is hard to get into. And that place comes highly recommended by us now. That, too, was a wonderful and unique experience--Opal (owner) comes out and interviews you and then, if you let him, he will decide what your menu should be. He did completely right by us!
Be aware that if you are used to hotels and standard modern lodging, this is an entirely different experience. It's not for everyone but it sure is interesting and fun! Our family of five had a blast and loved having a "real" Hawaiian experience. Including the wonderful outdoor shower.
