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

Waste of a lot of money. Saw no turtles, and 2 coffee factories and a bland mom and pop place for lunch... overpriced .

Aloha Joyce, that's really odd that you didn't see the turtles....other guests (like Barbara who also left a review) on same tour exclaimed how neat it was to see them. I know we don't grantee turtles but did you know we have had the Sea Turtles on every tour since we have started the tour a few years ago! Sorry to hear you didn't fully enjoy the tour : /

We had a great time on this tour. The group size was not to big so we didn’t lose out on any of the views or hearing the guide speak. The sea turtles were pretty cool, we were able to get into the water, knee deep...and see a bunch of them. The coffee tour was pretty informative and a great intro into how it’s all grown. I’d recommend this tour if you are looking for a mixture of things to see. Our guide was pretty informative and funny! Nice to have someone show you around who loves his job! If you are asked to play Hawaiian checkers...do it! I had a lot of fun learning the game!

Drea our tour guide was amazing. Fun and knowledgeable. He took us to an incredible lunch spot. Coffee tour was fun and seeing the turtles in their natural habitat close up was the best.
