The first thing that comes to my mind is a roll bed tow truck. That may not be able to get where the tiki is, but it has all the power to pull the ting into any position.

Are you just righting it, or moving it too?

To right it, bolt a 2X4 to the ground at the base to act as a stop. Lever or jack the thing up a bit so a rope can be put around the top. Somehow you have to make sure the rope does not just slip down, so getting it leaned up enough would be good. Maybe a bolt in the thing. Then with people on either side to keep it going straight, pull it forward and up on end. You just want to make sure it does not continue on over, which a huge trick in itself! 800 pounds is a lot, but 800 pounds moving becomes a ton real quick! A lot of planning will be needed...
