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.

Great experience. Our guide, Marissa, was outstanding: knowledgeable, engaging, and helpful. Food stop was well-selected.

Marissa was awesome and very nice. Perfect tour guide. Tour of Kona Coffee, we didn't actually get a tour by a knowledgeable coffee person at Farm. Turtles were amazing and Marissa knew exactly when to be there. Food choice wasn't diverse enough. I couldn't eat anything there! If I didn't mention... Marissa was awesome! She went above and beyond to make a great day for us. Tour company needs to do a better job with tour description and details so guests know what to expect. The three rating is the Tour Company, Marissa was a perfect 10!

Aloha thank you for your review. There are not many options for lunch in South Kona and we are always on the look out for other options for sure. the coffee farm guide is who trained our guides and when they used to take our customers we received so many complaints for it being wayyyy toooo long. And it really is at 1hr and 45 min. Please let me know what you think of what details are missing on this tour.
