Staying at Hedonisia Hawaii Sustainable Community Rainforest Retreat
Interns stay at Hedonisia Hawaii during their volunteer time. We offer significantly reduced prices on our already affordable lodgings for interns and volunteers
- Costs for Lodgings: for the minimum stay of four weeks Interns pay for only six nights as a Guest plus tax for the accommodation of your choice. Our Jungle Style Eco-lodgings are very affordable.
- Tryout period: the first six days of your stay, which you paid the nightly rate for, is your Tryout Period. Over these few days we look at the quality of your work and how your fit into the Hedonisia community. This six-day period allows for an opt-out for both parties if it is deemed not to be a good fit.
- Stays for longer than four weeks: if you are working out well and interested in staying for longer than the initial four week commitment the cost is one night in the lodging of your choice for up to one week additional stay as an intern.
