As first time snorkelers it was great (and very much appreciated) to have gear to borrow. We didn't know we needed fins but found them extremely useful not to mention fun! The house couldn't have been cleaner or more convenient. While we never did see any frogs they made the perfect background sleeping and hot tub sounds at night. Loved pulling up under the house when it was raining, really cool idea. Loved every second of our stay and will return!

Thanks so much! We LOVED staying at Iki Honu :) It was perfect! Brad absolutely loved how serene the setting was, and it was the perfect introduction to the Big Island. More explicit instructions for the jacuzzi would be great. We had a hard time getting it to the temp we wanted, and it wouldn't go down to 60 degrees for us. Using the Internet connection, Brad was able to submit his research paper to an online journal (Johanna was maybe not as thrilled about Brad working on vacation :) Thank you again for everything. We'll be recommending Iki Honu to everyone heading to Hawaii :)
