A group of four of us booked this tour (two adult couples). The tour van picked us up shortly after 11:00 am. John O greeted us warmly and made us feel very welcomed.
The tour included stops at a coffee farm (where we ate lunch), black sand beach, bakery, winery (where we ate dinner), and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. It was a beautiful scenic drive. Throughout the drive John O provided a detailed history about our surroundings as well as customs and traditions about the Big Island. During our tour at the coffee farm we were given the opportunity to sample various coffees. We were fortunate enough to be able to get some fabulous photos of turtles on the black sand beach. The bakery stop allowed for opportunity to purchase great tasting baked goods. The winery was pleasant. After the wine tasting each individual was permitted to select their choice of complementary glass of wine to accompany dinner. The dinner provided was barbecue (chicken and pork), pasta salad, cole slaw & rolls. The last part of the tour was the volcano after sunset.
We had an amazing view.
The day was truly a wonderful journey. We arrived back from the tour shortly after 9:30 p.m. Snacks and drinks were also provided throughout our excursion. John O encouraged questions and had a very pleasant disposition and made us feel very much at home. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
