The Adventure!

Enjoy 7 nights, 8 days at Hale Akua Garden Farm & Eco-Retreat Center

Our retreat is located in the beautiful natural landscape of Maui’s North Shore, on a wonderful organic farm and eco-retreat center in the jungle outside of Haiku, Maui. Overlooking 30 miles of untouched coastline from high up on a cliff edge, our retreat boasts magnificent views of the turquoise blue sea and a gorgeous waterfall. Check out this short video to see our retreat from the air, glimpse the garden pathways, see the expansive organic farm, and the cliff some of our lodgings overlook!! The center includes a pool, yoga room, common area spa, several hot tubs, an infrared sauna, free WiFi, and so much more! This will be our oasis, and our “Adventures in Spirit” home for the week. Check out these beautiful pics of our retreat paradise, sent by our hosts!

TRAVEL & Arrival Information

Please book flights that arrive to Kahului Airport on Maui (Airport code: OGG) the day before or by 3pm on November 11, 2022. You will need ample time to rent a car, drive the 45 min. trip to the retreat, and settle in before our group meeting at 6 pm followed by dinner @ 7.
Please book departure flights for November 18th, 2022, unless you are adding days to your vacation which we wholeheartedly suggest you do! Guests must check out of the retreat no later than 11 am to avoid a fee for late check outs–they do enforce this charge. Make departure flights based on retreat end time & check out of 11 am, and give yourself plenty of time to drive to the airport! Or stay on Maui a few extra days and explore other parts of the island!
Purchase travel insurance for your trip. Depending on your coverage, trip insurance covers flights, luggage, health and injury. We highly recommend, especially given any possibility of travel restrictions.
You are responsible for making your way to the retreat center on your own. We strongly suggest renting a car at the airport. This gives you lots of freedom while on Maui to explore local beaches, hop to town to get souvenirs, and for your comfort on our group excursions. Renting with a friend or two makes this a super affordable opportunity! There are lots of car rental companies at the airport, making it easy for you to choose the type of vehicle and budget you prefer.
Consider packing snacks for your journey. Flights are lengthy, and as you know, most flights do not include meals. Consider purchasing a meal at the airport to bring on the plane with you. We will serve you dinner at the retreat on our first night together!

REFUND Policy, Terms & Conditions

Our policies are firm and ask that you carefully consider your ability to attend this retreat. We will be walking, practicing yoga, driving to the top of a 10,000 ft mountain, traveling on roads that wind close to cliff edges, and swimming in waterfalls! It will be an adventure!

For this reason, we strongly suggest every participant has both health and travel insurance. Dragonfly Yoga Barn, Peace of Mind Reiki & Massage, their owners and teachers are not responsible for your health prior to, during, or after this trip, and we want to make sure you are prepared and fully responsible for yourself. We strongly suggest you are fully vaccinated prior to this trip. Hawaii may (or may not) require vaccinations by the time of this trip, so please consider carefully for the sake of travel ease and safety.

We have a NON-refundable deposit policy. This allows us to hold our retreat center, hire our amazing chef, and plan the details of our trip with the confidence of your attendance. While we know “life happens,” these policies are firm and support the entities engaged in creating this special event for all of our guests. Please purchase travel insurance to protect your investment.

Covid Protocol & Hawai’i Safe Travel Program

Traveling these days is still new territory for many of us. Concerns of Covid-19 and varied requirements by different states and countries can seem complicated, but it is getting smoother and more consistent every day. To support the highest possible health and comfort for each guest in our group, we have listed travel requirements of the State of Hawaii.

The Safe Travel program the State of Hawaii was implemented to manage the Covid-19 situation and had strict requirements; it is concluding on March 25th, 2022, meaning there are no longer restrictions for domestic travel to Hawaii. Please read the link below and check the site closer to travel dates for any changes or updates. The Safe Travel Program has been very effective for Hawaii, and thus they are relaxing restrictions to allow for freedom of travel for US Citizens. Here are the details, subject to change: https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/travel-overview/

Thank you for choosing us as your guides. We look forward to meeting you in paradise for adventures that will awaken and nourish your body, mind, and spirit on one of the most magical islands on the planet!

Mahalo (in gratitude)
