Join a knowledgeable local guide as you explore rare black sand beaches, walk through a lava tube, visit a famous Kona Coffee Farm, and see the majesty of Volcanoes National Park. Immerse yourself in the history, culture, and geology of the island as your guide shares fascinating insights along the way.

We begin with a visit to a Kona Coffee Farm, where you can stroll through the orchards, learn about the coffee-making process, and savor a cup of locally grown coffee. Then, enjoy a scenic drive that takes you past sights like Kealakekua Bay and South Point, the southernmost point of the United States. Finally, stop at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, a spot known for the chance to glimpse Hawai'i's green sea turtles.

We head into Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park in the afternoon for an amazing experience. We will travel along the Chain of Craters Road to appreciate the island's diverse landscapes. Marvel at past volcanic eruptions, explore the breathtaking park coastline, and venture into the remarkable Thurston Lava Tube. Your certified tour guide will provide intriguing commentary at the Kīlauea Iki Lookout, steam vents, Halema'uma'u Crater, and the crater rim trail.

As the day ends, enjoy a light, delicious meal, then prepare for a magical evening of watching the sky near Mauna Kea. Depending on weather conditions, you can observe stars, planets, and the moon.
