Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee Farm Tours & Konalani Coffee Bar, 78-1136 Bishop Rd, Holualoa, Island of Hawaii, HI 96725-9748
Visit an award winning 100% Kona Coffee Farm, with exclusive access, tasting and tour.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Punalu'u Black Sand beach, Highway 11, Pahala, Island of Hawaii, HI 96777
Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Ka'u coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii.
Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Ka'u, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large Honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii
Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park protects some of the most unique geological, biological, and cultural landscapes in the world. The park encompasses the summits of the world's most active volcano, Kīlauea. The only comprehensive Park Tour available. Tour the Park and the entire Chain of Craters Road from Summit to Sea.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Saddle Road, Hawaii Highway 200, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii, HI
Saddle Road, Hawaii, is considered among the most spectacular roads in the world. This is 55-mile drive of a chance of a lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 goes through all four of her climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll see a few places with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. But just after Saddlehouse Road, you’ll see the ridges that show where a 1936 flow slowly came to a stop 2 miles away. Near the road you can see where lava thickened and left the telltale mounds of a slowing flow. From here, you’ll continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of lava activity as you head toward Belt Road, where you’ll eventually descend into Kona or Waikoloa.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Rainbow Falls, Waianuenue Avenue, Hilo, Island of Hawaii, HI 96720
On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below.
When it rains, (which it often does in Hilo), the engorged Wailuku River makes the falls wider, muddier and louder. On these days, you won’t see the rainbows for which this spot is named, but the sheer volume of water and the accessibility of this spot for all ages make it a fun, quick and easy excursion.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Hilo, Hilo, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii
Drive through Historic town of Hilo.

We especially liked the lava cliffs overlooking the ocean. The waves crashed up the sides and it was very dramatic.

Erik was awesome and so was the tour. We went on 04/28/22. The knowledge shared due to years as a Geologist was bonus. In addition, his individual anecdotes due to his many years in the industry were insightful and thought provoking. But the tour itself was a blast. Great lunch, good snacks, someone else drives, what could be better! All the places he took us too were awesome. Some walking but none of it too much.Pete_A

I’ve been to Volcanoes National Park at least 10 times but learned more on this tour than in 10 times combined. He even came prepared with coats, umbrellas, snacks, drinks and headlights for the dark.♥️Vicki M

We than went on our adventure to Hilo, Rainbow falls, lunch, wine tastings,Volcano National Park and dinner in the quaint town of Volcano. Zane is an expert on volcanos and shared with us all aspects of a volcano eruption and lava flow. Don’t miss this tour!tdrowray

We could not have asked for a better tour or tour guide. Erik was beyond knowledgeable. He was also friendly & personable. He knows the island, the history, and so much more. A sit-down restaurant lunch with many choices came with the tour. He also provided water & snacks at each stop point. The time allowed at each site was perfect. I would highly recommend Hawaii Geo Tours!
