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.

My husband & I had the opportunity to do the Geo Volcano tour through Hilton. Zane Smith was our expert educated geologist on our tour and he did not disappoint in educating us on not only about everything there is to know about volcano’s & the ecosystem, but was knowledgeable in everything that was asked of him regarding Hawaiian culture, animals, flowers, terrain, history and the list could go on forever! We come to the islands every few years, but walked away only today from our 12 hr tour knowing that we received the best information about the island of Kona (& the other Hawaiian islands ) than we had ever known! We stopped at Rainbow Falls, visited Volcano Winery & Teas-( with a nice lunch included ),walked inside a lava tube , spent time at the ocean cliffs watching the waves, saw the historic house/inn at Kilauea, enjoyed the steam vents, ate a delicious dinner at Lava Rock Cafe( the macadamia nut bars were the bomb), & ventured back to the rim of the crater to see “her mighty glow “as the sky darkened. On our ride back to the Hilton, we were shown excellent videos of the devastation that occurred during 2018 to Leilana Estates and the surrounding communities ( also saw footage of eruptions that occurred in 1950’s and during later years). We rode in a comfortable Mercedes Van with limited seating(not your typical greyhound bus where your packed in like sardines). We were offered drinks throughout the day which was a blessing as we had perfect warm & sunny weather. For most of us who forgot a jacket, Zane had enough windbreakers to keep everyone warm( an added bonus was the hot facecloth offered after getting chilled from viewing the glow of the volcano). Zane went beyond our expectations to make sure that we had a great time, were not hungry, that we walked away with all our questions answered & that we all gained a appreciation for Hawaii & it’s residents. We truly enjoyed spending the day on this tour, and is the best tour we have ever taken!

Great adventure, great tour guide, great food. Been to the island many time and this was by far the best tour we have been on. I highly recommend Zain and his company . Very knowledgeable about the history, geology, plant and animal life. What a great day!
