Due to closed times, we sometimes have to stop by Bay View Farm

The Painted Church

This was our 2nd tour with CBigIsland and tour guide Dre! He is fantastic! He has a great personality, is very knowledgeable and enjoys his work. We first saw sea turtles, a coffee plantation tour, lava tube, lunch at a local establishment, painted church and last but not least, the Donkey Ball sore for chocolates! A great day! Thank you CBIsland and Dre!

The tour was great! We had a private tour and Dre was an incredible tour guide. He told everything about Kona and the surrounding area. We first saw the turtles and Dre was kind enough to give his arm so that we didn't slip. Then we went to a Kona coffee tour. That was very interesting. The remainder of the tour Dre showed us Historic Kona of which Dre showed us where the shops were and other interesting facts. Dre was the best tour guide. If I could rate him over a 5 I would, he was that good!

Dre was our tour guide. OMG, how amazing was this guy!! His knowledge of the island and connections with the local people were really impressive. Everywhere we went we were welcomed like family because we were with him. He even took us to places that dont even accept tours to there businesses, but were welcomed with Dre. If you come to Kona, you have to call and request Dre!! If you're looking for personal attention and a tour that caters to you...this is your guy.
