What To Expect

Kailua Pier

Tour departs from the Kailua Kona Pier. When you get off the ship tender, please proceed to the green shaded tent and look for the guide holding a sign that says "C Big Island Tours" written on it.

Greenwell Farms

Along the volcanic slopes is a perfect climate for our famous Kona Coffee. Hawaii is the only U.S. state that grows coffee and the coffee beans are all hand-picked. Learn how Kona coffee is grown, harvested, and packaged. Sample some of Kona’s finest coffee. * We do not guarantee that the coffee farm will always be Greenwell Farms. Due to closed times, we sometimes have to stop by Bay View Farm

The Painted Church

Going south towards South Kona and through Captain Cook Village, we will visit the famous nicknamed, “Painted Church”, due to its painted 3D depictions of the bible in the interior wooden walls all done with ordinary house paint.

Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park

The park was established on November 10, 1978, for the preservation, protection, and interpretation of traditional native Hawaiian activities and culture.

This was such a great tour! We stopped along several different areas of Kona. My tour guide, Marisa, was fantastic. She shared several interesting Hawaiian historical stories, and was able to point out local points of interest as a long-time resident of the island. We ate lunch at a fantastic locally owned restaurant with incredible fresh poke. Between the sea turtles, fresh locally grown coffee, and the beautiful painted church, this tour cannot be missed. Thank you Marisa!
