Absolutely the most wonderful island adventure I've experienced! Our tour guide, Derek Stuart, made this a safe, informative and fun experience with his knowledge of the flora, fauna and history of the island and of each of our stops. Though our stops at the 3 island waterfalls, the volcano, the southern most city in the US's fantastic bakery and the black sand beach with beautiful sea turtles were each a once in a lifetime experience, my highlight was a visit to the Bayview Coffee Farm where we got to see and experience the complete coffee cycle from plants to harvest to drying to roasting and preparation for market.
Though I was a single traveler Derek and the rest of our group were very welcoming and made this even more pleasant with the comradery. Oh, and the lunch provided at the black sand beach was tasty too 😋
I would highly recommend this tour as your #1 priority when planning for a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii!
