About The Tour
Take a journey through the southern half of Big Island. Drive across barren lava fields that are wedged between two active volcanoes: Mauna Loa and Kilauea. As you travel you’ll come across a black sand beach and local coffee and macadamia nut farms. Take an optional side trip -- don't worry, we'll guide you -- to Ka Lae (South Point) for cliff jumping and a hike to a green sand beach. End the day at Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in Hawaii, for stargazing.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Drink local coffee at Kau Coffee Farm
• Visit a black sand beach
• Stargaze atop Mauna Kea
• Visit an ancient historic site
• Get malasadas and sweet bread at Punalu'u Bakery

“Insights of wisdom enable us to see the hollowness and fundamental failure of a life devoted to the pursuit of material happiness, to the neglect of the spiritual. Such a life necessarily sets man against man and nation against nation.” - E.F. Schumacher
