A Beautiful Day "Nani La 'Ao" Rainforest Garden Sanctuary
A Beautiful Day LLC Nani La 'Ao (808) 982-7252 We are only 45 minutes to the active Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, 20 minutes to Pahoa and 25 minutes to downtown Hilo.
Located on the East Side of the Island of Hawai'i in Kea'au, in an actual rainforest!
You will have a completely different experience here than the usual hustle bustle. Surrounded by magnificent rainbow eucalyptus trees, gorgeous tropical plants and flowers, you will be completely embraced by the sights and sounds of nature in all her glory.
We are striving for sustainability and a harmonious lifestyle. At "A Beautiful Day" you will know your are in a truly special place. You can see permaculture and organic farming practices in action, along with a host of storybook animal friends.
Imagine arriving here, and as you're coming up the driveway you'll see it lined with coconut palms and pineapples growing between gourmet Hawaiian tea plants. You'll see lilikoi gracing the nearby arches, peas and beans climing up the posts...blackberries lining the gazebo under the avocado trees. A truly enchanting property with special care to detail.
Our staff is friendly, professional, and everyone treats one another with kindness and courtesy.
One of the things that makes this setting is so special is being off the beaten path. You will need to drive down a gravel road or two to arrive here, and the streets are not lit at night. It is safe, you will not need a 4-wheel drive, but do plan accordingly.
Our hours are from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. daily.
Be sure to allow for extra driving time during high traffic times from 4-7 p.m. Also, some of the roads to the property are on gravel and can be rugged, so be prepared for a bumpy ride along the way.
A Beautiful Day Retreat is an exquisite tropical oasis in an idealic setting. Free-range dwarf bunnies, ducks, chickens, cats, a goose, donkey, goat and other friendly critters.
Currently there is a lava flow that reaches the ocean where visitors can drive up, take a short walk and view the event! We are a short 45 minute drive to this location. For more information about the lava flow please call (808) 961-8093. We are all excited about the volcanic activity and want you to be adequately prepared for your visit. If you have asthma or respiratory problems, you may wish to consult your physician before travelling to the Big Island.
This property is blessed with giant rainbow eucalyptus and other huge magnificent trees. The canopy of these trees act as a filter, so even when the rest of the island is experiencing air quality issues, we have cleaner air than almost anywhere else. There is plenty of shade even on hot days.
E-mail inquiries will usually be answered within 24-48 hours. For faster service, please call us at (808) 982-7252.

One final note: Plan to spend some time here unwinding and enjoying the property. That's what taking a vacation is really about.
