Come and enjoy a relaxing quiet stay with us in our beautiful coastal jungle retreat. With our comfortable guest quarters you will enjoy the island life, atmosphere and environment. Your stay, in one of our LUXURY TENTS is reminiscent of the luxury safari tents of Africa, and now being found through out the world. Don’t let the “tent” name fool you, our luxury tents have full interiors with private bathrooms, doors, rugs, and wood floors, there is no “roughing it” in these “tents”.

We are located in a area of “old Hawaii” that is off the gird and out of the way of most tourists. We are still close to some of the islands best places; Hawaiian Volcano National Park, great snorkeling, natural hot ponds, Black Sand beaches and fine dining

Our exclusive camp offers exceptional lodging. Each Tent can sleep four, each has a private bath, We have cell phone reception for most carriers and we provide wireless Internet access (if you bring your laptop).

The drivable rural road awaits visitors

Operating on solar power, our mission, in addition to your comfort and enjoyment, is to provide an ecologically sensitive environment; preserving and protecting the integrity of the land we have the privilege of care taking. Feel free to explore seven acres of old growth jungle. Enjoy the birds and fruit of Hawaii- many species of exotic birds inhabit our jungle. Mangos, Avocado, Star fruit, Papaya, Guava, Bananas all grow wild on our land.

Just some of the things being said about safari tents by Pacific Tent Systems

inside a tent living room

It’s an ideal home in the right location. Wonderful with great air flow for your summer property or you can live in it year round in the warmer climates. With prices so reasonable a tent is ideal for your vacation property or to live in while you build your dream home. Even in areas with a harsh winter, just take it down at the end of the summer and store it in a dry location. It only takes an hour or two to raise and lower a tent.

Our tents are 200 – 300 square feet inside (depending on model) and can have another 200 sq ft of canopy coverage for a porch, kitchen or anything you can imagine. The tent is plenty of room for a bedroom/study. Since the tent is put up on a deck, its easy to add electricity and plumbing. For areas with good rainfall a water catchment is easy to add. In fact, build and style it anyway you want it. MADE IN THE USA
