Aloha! Join us for a 2-hour adventure exploring Hawaii's largest collection of rainforest tikis, stunning lava rock sculptures, and the refreshing taste of guava green tea. Along the way, you'll discover how we live off-grid in the Hawaiian jungle. Our tour takes you along a naturally formed, uneven lava flow path that’s over 800 years old. The tikis are hand-carved from native Hawaiian Ohia and Guava wood, while the incredible lava rock sculptures include rare reliefs sculpted directly on site. You'll also experience the Okina prototype house, a one-of-a-kind art installation made from recycled pallets! As a special treat, you'll get a sample of guava green tea. Throughout the tour, you'll be surrounded by vibrant tropical plants, trees, and wildlife. Before you leave, each guest will receive a complimentary volcanic rainforest gift!

Step into a living landscape shaped by fire, time, and imagination. Frozen Fire is a guided jungle experience deep in the Hawaiian volcanic rainforest where ancient lava flows, towering ferns, and handcrafted jungle art collide. This is not a typical sightseeing tour—it is a walk through frozen rivers of fire, where molten rock once reshaped the island and now tells its story in stone. As we move through lush jungle paths, you will touch, examine, and learn to recognize different types of lava rock—from jagged aa to smooth pahoehoe—while uncovering how these flows formed, where they came from, and how they continue to influence life, culture, and creativity in Hawaii today. Along the way, discover hidden art installations and sculptures created directly from lava rock, wood, and natural jungle materials—art that blends seamlessly into the environment and reflects the raw power of the land itself.
