There are baby sheep, horses, and calf. See native animals-wild boar, Hawaiian Ducks, donkeys, etc. Exotic fruits Kuini, such as Abiu, Salak, Mardrono, pitomba, Talisia, and Durio. Perhaps even sample those grown on the property. See the spectacular views, and landscapes, from fertile gardens to sweeping grasslands, oceanfront, and tree canopies. Learn Hawaiian culture and customs. Our guides are knowledgeable on the history of this Hawaiian Ahupa'a, a large socioeconomic, geologic, and climatic subdivision of land. Extending from the mountains to the sea with multiple water sheds. Each Ahupa'a provides wood for shelter and food like fish or taro.
