Our day in Kona was a great mix of fun and peaceful contemplation. Dreu, our guide, has a lot of great information about the early Hawaiians and how they made the most of their knowledge of the island. I am still in awe of the intricate fish ponds at Kealakekua Bay and the tranquil sanctuary of Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. The bees are fascinating to watch, and tasting the different honeys that come from blossoms in the region was amazing. Because we were a smaller group and moved relatively quickly, Dreu offered us a bonus stop at St. Benedict's Painted Church which he also knew a great deal about. It is another example of someone using the island's resources to create something beautiful since the paints come from what is on the island. As a coffee drinker, it was very cool to see the shrubs where it grows and the drying floor. The plantation was a stunning place for lunch. In the midst of all of this serenity, Dreu injected the right amount of humor and fun throughout. Give this awesome tour a try!

The trip was very good but what made it a 5/5 experience was the tour guide named Drew. Super nice guy whom was down to earth and funny.

My family went on this tour a few days after the volcano/stargazing tour. In addition to many of the local landmarks, we were treated to a tour of the local coffee farm and the local bee farm. We had been at the coffee farm before on the volcano/stargazing tour, but this time we took a bit more time to enjoy the environment. The bee farm was also great! Both the tour guide, Derek, and the staff at the bee farm were the highlight of the day. Derek was very polite and was able to tell us a lot about the area and the history behind the landmarks and about the places we visited. The staff at the bee farm also showed us up close about how they care for and handle the bees on the farm, and were very knowledgeable about most of everything when it came to bees, beekeeping, and how both interact with the local environment. Overall, this tour was a very fascinating and relaxing experience.
