# Polynesian Cultural Carving Experience in Kona

**Guidekin's take:** Carve locally grown Big Island wood into a tiki to take home, with instruction from a fourth-generation carver from Tonga. Tools and wood are included; a moderate level of fitness is required. 4.97 from 104 reviews at €222 per person for 2h.

## Overview

Spend some time with a highly sought after 4th generation Master Carver direct from Tonga. Step back into time and experience the beauty and aloha of the islands by carving your own authentic wood carving. Using only top quality wood grown locally on the Big Island.

Take a piece of Hawaii with you as you carve your own tiki taught from a master carver. This token of our Aloha will live on for generations to come from our ‘ohana to yours. Come enjoy the beautiful views of the Hawaiian hillside of Holualoa.
