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

The Painted Church

We had a fantastic time on our tour. Our guide’s name was Dre and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating and didn’t rush our tour. We had a large group that included a 7 year old, teens, 20’s, and then of course, the old farts who pay. The sites we visited were amazing, and Dre’s ability to fit into our crazy group was almost like we’ve known him for a long time. Highly recommended!

Took the Sea Turtle, Historic Kona and Coffee tour with Dre as our guide. We had a great time. Dre was a great guide, with tons of knowledge and just an all around fun guy. Saw turtles, did the coffee tour and tastings, checked out some awesome landmarks, and took a dip in a lava tube.

We had an excellent tour with Dre. He had fun facts to tell us about Kona and the surrounding area. We thouroughlt enjoyed our day tour with him and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kona. He also took us to an authentic Polynesian hole in the wall place for lunch which has been featured on the foodnetwork. It was delicious.
