Hedonisia Hawaii Sustainable Community Rainforest Retreat
Donations for Volunteer Driving Services in Hawai'i
Many travelers who come here choose not to rent a car. Hitch-hiking, whilst easy, is not always convenient. So, we offer Paid Drives to the following locations. Prices are based per trip so up to three people can share the cost of a journey. We can drive you to most other locations on the island. Our flat rate is $25 per hour. Based on availability.

Please note; we do not offer Official Guided Tours but simply a cheap ride service that is donation based. In fact you might not even be using a Hedonisia driver or vehicle but simply paying directly to someone another volunteer or guest with a car on the property. This price list is simply a guide. You are free to use or offer this guideline if you have your own car at Hedonisia and wish to be partially compensated for driving someone.
Hawaii has some of the most expensive gas in America and so to be eco-friendly, please be understanding if we have to make a couple of stops along the way to any destination. As well, we often take other Volunteers or passengers along.
It is our way of being gas efficient. And Hawaii has the highest gas prices in the USA!
All rides are subject to availability. If you have limited time and would like to reserve your rides in advance then please indicate this when making your reservation.
