About me: Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii where my husband Robert and I, Gail, live & work.

Mahinui na lani consists of a private venue for intimate celebrations and a treehouse for vacation accommodations, on separate properties. Our specialty is small weddings with honeymoons in the treehouse. We are adjacent to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Our visitors are from all over the world, and many are first time visitors to the island. I am happy to participate in this website for the chance it gives me to share with them and anyone else who comes to this website enough information about my favorite places to give you all an appetite for more! I love our island, and especially this unique volcano, home to Tutu Pele.

To find wonderful places to visit on the Big Island, look at the places we have reviewed. Most are readily accessible, others not as much so. If you would like a tour of less accessible places, or simply to be driven about and taken to our favorite spots on the island, let us know.

much aloha!
