Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the tour is scheduled to begin.

When you arrive at Starseed Ranch, please park in the grassy parking area in front of the fence and small farm store building. You will see a “Parking” sign. Farm tours meet in the parking lot and begin promptly at 11:00am and 4:45 pm, depending on the tour.

We recommend wearing whatever is comfortable for light walking (i.e. comfortable walking shoes). There are mosquitoes depending on precipitation, so we recommend covering your arms and legs with clothing or with natural bug repellent (non-toxic please). Finally, our weather can change quickly so we recommend bringing an umbrella or raincoat, especially in the winter months.

The tour is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Yes! Children love the farm tour and being in the natural setting. Plus we have 2 friendly farm dogs that love kids. Also, most children that attend love the dinner, even the picky eaters.

Although we will showcase products from our farm during the farm tour and/or after dinner, we do not sell produce on demand. You may pre-order a box of fresh produce, which is available on Wednesdays and Fridays only. Please order 2 days in advance to ensure that a member of our staff is available to harvest you the freshest produce possible! You can also visit us at the Hawi Farmers Market (every Saturday 8-1pm) at our nonprofit farm’s booth, HIP Agriculture.

Yes, these are available upon request for parties of 6 or more.

The Coconut Hale is the only hale with a private toilet. The other hales (Hula, Bali, Hana and Jungalow) share the indoor toilets at the Balinese Bathhouse. All of the hales, including the Coconut Hale, share 2 outdoor showers with hot water.

Yes, all the hales have electricity and plenty of plugs for your electronic devices.

WiFi is available only in the kitchen and dining area.

We are very aware of EMFs at Starseed Ranch. The only WiFi on Starseed is in the kitchen and dining area. The WiFi does not reach any of the hales.

Our cleaning staff cleans the common areas daily (except Sundays), but we do not provide housekeeping services in the hales. Additionally, we provide 1 towel per person for the duration of your stay. These are to be used as bath towels and not taken to the beach. We recommend bringing your own beach towel as we do not provide these. Mahalo!

Yes, we are an organic farm and only use natural insecticide to limit bugs around the hales, so there can be some insects seasonally. There are insects around the hales that sometimes get inside – especially if you leave the screen doors open. Insects are a sign of a healthy ecosystem. We recommend guests keep the screen slider doors closed on hales at all times.

Our average daytime temperatures range from 70-85 degrees. Nights are slightly cooler in the 60’s, so we recommend a sweatshirt or light jacket. Dec-April is our rainy season, with May-November being drier months. As we’re an island in the middle of the Pacific, our weather can always change quite quickly. Bringing a rain jacket and extra layers is always a good idea!

Yes, we have quiet hours from 9:30pm – 7:30am. We ask that all visitors respect the peaceful retreat atmosphere on the land and remain mindful of noise levels. Sound travels very easily here. 

As a guest at Starseed, you will have full access to our outdoor kitchen & dining space. This is a communal space shared with other guests at the ranch. We recommend writing your name on items placed in the refrigerator and ask that shared areas are kept clean and accessible for everyone. We do not currently offer a daily meal service on the farm. However, our Farm to Table dinner is offered weekly on Thursday evenings. These events can sometimes sell out and should be booked in advance through our website. We also offer private Farm to Table dining experiences for parties of 6 or more upon request.

As an off-grid farm, we are blessed with extremely pure triple-filtered well water. All of the sinks in the kitchen & bathroom are potable water, so you can fill your reusable water bottles there. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK FROM THE HOSES OR AGRICULTURAL SPIGOTS ON THE FARM.
