Just wanted to give a shout out to Jen and Chris for making this tour an unforgettable experience! So many sites and experiences that we would never have found on our own, and their knowledge and expertise was the icing on the cake! I highly recommend this tour- every detail was well planned, the pace was perfect and the sight of the lava flow from the Volcano House a memory that will last forever! Forget any concern you might have about doing a group tour- just sit back and enjoy!
Visit a Kona Coffee Farm, explore the best sites at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Punalu'e Black Sand Beach. Lunch and dinner is included.

Here you’ll see coffee growing on the trees and learn about the various steps and processes in making coffee, all of which happen right here on the farm. You’ll sample 100% Kona Coffee at a gorgeous overlook with stunning views of Kealakekua Bay and the monument to Captain Cook standing on the only sliver of British land in the United States.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Hawaii Volcanoes National ParkHawaiiThe adventure continues as you head through the South Kona and Ka’u Districts. Stunning views, alternating between stark lava flows and Hawaiian dry forest, are visible through the huge picture windows of your tour vehicle.

Shortly thereafter, you’ll arrive at picturesque Punalu’u Black Sand Beach. Lined with swaying coconut palm trees, this is one of the best black sand beaches on the island. Stroll along the beach and look for honu (Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles) feeding just offshore or sun-worshipping on the sand. Picnic-style lunch will be served here weather permitting.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Bay View Farm83-5249 Painted Church Rd, , Honaunau, HawaiiNext travel to the crown jewel of the Big Island, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The name could be misleading as we were in the Kīlauea Crater overlook during daytime (in the month of August). The guide was nice and knowledgable. The meals were okay.

We made the tour on May 11th and unfortunately I don't remember the name of the driver/guide... but would like to thank him again ! He was just exceptional, making this long excursion an incredibly rich and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. He made sure the tour was matching our preferences, adapting the duration of the stops accordingly. Great experience !!!
The administrative preparation of the excursion was much more complex and less enjoyable... I booked the excursion on the Tripadvisor site which then went through an intermediary (Viatour) who then contacted the operator (KapohoKine Adventures). Viator asked me 3 or 4 times to confirm the pickup address... I even sent them the link to the website of the hotel I was staying in (a well known 5-star resort)... Apparently the information did not get through to the operator ; 10 minutes before the pickup time, I received a new phone call asking me again the pickup address... One conclusion ; avoid intermediaries and book directly with the operator !

This trip was above and beyond informational. Our tour guide Ryan is SO knowledgeable not to mention courteous and attentive. We were traveling with my two 84 year old parents and he was very patient. In addition to all the volcano information and sightings we got to see a coffee plantation and the most southern bakery in the US. Once nightfall hit he took us back to Kilauea volcano and we got to see lava oozing and splattering.
I highly recommend this tour, it was good fun. And hopefully you will luck out and get Ryan as your guide.
