About

During our tours, which last 2 hours, guests are taken from species to species and enter the pastures and yards with many of our residents. We share the residents' rescue stories, information about the various species of farmed animals, and the industries they came from. There are lots of opportunities throughout the tour for interaction with our magical creatures :)

Kids are welcome and tours are appropriate for all ages but for everyone's safety, we request that groups have a maximum of 2 children 12 and under per adult. We are located outside of Laupahoehoe on the east side of Hawaii's Big Island. You will receive an automated confirmation email immediately after booking, and another email with our exact location and final details the evening prior to your scheduled tour.
