What To Expect

Punalu'u Black Sand beach

Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Ka'u coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii. Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Ka'u, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large Honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park protects some of the most unique geological, biological, and cultural landscapes in the world. The park encompasses the summits of the world's most active volcano, Kīlauea. The only comprehensive Park Tour available. Tour the Park and the entire Chain of Craters Road from Summit to Sea.

Rainbow Falls

On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below. When it rains, (which it often does in Hilo), the engorged Wailuku River makes the falls wider, muddier and louder. On these days, you won’t see the rainbows for which this spot is named, but the sheer volume of water and the accessibility of this spot for all ages make it a fun, quick and easy excursion.

Saddle Road

Saddle Road, Hawaii, is considered among the most spectacular roads in the world. This is 55-mile drive of a chance of a lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 goes through all four of her climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll see a few places with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. Near the road you can see where lava thickened and left the telltale mounds of a slowing flow. Just after mile 23, you’ll come close to a popular local landmark, Pu`u Huluhulu, which is an older Mauna Kea cinder cone, or kīpuka, and it’s surrounded by younger lava flows. At this point, you’re near the peak height for Saddle Road, about 1.25 miles in elevation – 6,632 feet. From here, you’ll continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of lava activity as you head toward Belt Road, where you’ll eventually descend into Kona or Waikoloa.

This trip was so much fun! We were picked up from Waikoloa on time in a very clean and spacious van. This was very convenient since Big Island is indeed very big, and you need to travel the WHOLE island in order to truly experience the unique aspects of this island. The group was 7 of us, which was great because you get a more personal tour and we were truly there to learn, and not just tour for the sake of it. Our guide David was super extremely kind AND knowledgeable! He weaved his knowledge of the island, geology, etc with his very worldly knowledge (he has a very well traveled past). He kept us all engaged and interested the entire time. One special thing to point out is that my partner wanted to do an extra side trip for some Big Island Candies cookies, which are only found on Hilo on this island. Not only was David very receptive to this additional side trip, he made it happen with a genuine smile on his face! We bought tons of cookies. We never felt rushed at any point to get to the next stop. He made sure we truly enjoyed every stop, helped us take tons of photos, and taught us so much. Big thank you to David and his company! Will be certain to recommend our friends to this island as well as your tour company!
