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.

The views from inside Volcanoes National Park are the ONLY reason this tour got 2 stars. Our tour guide, Zane, talked about millionaires and billionaires and how much everything cost for the majority of the first hour. He loved mentioning his girlfriend, who he knows on the island, how much things cost inside the van and pointing out where wealthy people live and go on the island. My family booked this tour because we wanted to learn about Big Island. I will admit, this was my mistake, because we weren’t interested in a geological tour. We wanted to learn about big island culture and history. However, all that being said.. My parents could not hear much from the back of the bus, and after we asked Zane the first time.. he checked in with us to see if we could hear better. We could for a little while, but after about 20-30 minutes we couldn’t hear very well. We asked him 3 more times during the course of the day to speak louder or adjust the mic and there was no difference and he never checked in with us again. Things got a little better once we were in Volcanoes National Park. He spoke more about the history of the volcanoes, how they were formed, the different types of lava flow and the craters. But as I said before, my parents couldn’t hear much from the back. So when my mom asked a question about the differences in lava and why they looked different, she was met with a snarky attitude of “well don’t you remember the video?” Which wasn’t the last time during the day that we were met with snarky behavior or an attempt to be funny that just missed the mark. Not long after that, my mom slipped on some loose rocks out on the lava formations where he took us. The fall wasn’t bad, and she bruises easily so it looks worse than it is. But instead of being met with concern by our tour guide, like anyone would expect, Zane told her in a sarcastic tone that she couldn’t walk back by herself. He didn’t check in with her until after he got back to the van, a bit later. A very nice woman on our tour helped escort her back until I could reach her. Once Zane made it the van, one of the first things he said was “oh that’s not bad,” as I’m trying to clean up blood from where she fell. Luckily the woman who helped my mom back had bandaids, because Zane and Hawaii Geo Tours have no sort of first aid. He said they had to stop during Covid, but we’re past that now. Carry bandaids (even if you can’t administer first aid), just do better and be prepared. The rest of the tour had some pretty and cool views. We walked through a lava tube, stopped in Hilo for a farmers market and to see Banyan trees. Overall, I would skip this tour, save your money and a headache from hearing a bunch of “I did this, my girlfriend does that and this cost $xxxxx.” There were also a couple points in the tour where it felt like he was digging on the Hawaiian people. And after having an amazing tour in Maui with someone who’s connected to Hawaiian culture, I felt offended on behalf of the Hawaiian people with the way he spoke a few times.

The tour was amazing! Our guide, Dave, was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and very interactive with the guests. The Island is beautiful and we’ve learned so much. Thanks to Dave and Geo Tours for a wonderful day!

This is our first time in Waikoloa and I have to say that this is the best tour I’ve ever experienced. You have a great guide by the name of David Human, who does a great job of narrating as he drove us from one end of big island to the other. From the coffee farms, the volcanoes, and rainbow falls. I give this tour a 10 out of 10 and is a must for all who travel to Waikoloa.
