What To Expect
Bay View Farm
Travel south into Kona coffee country for the first stop at Bay View Farm, a working 24-acre coffee farm nestled on the slopes of Mauna Loa Volcano just above beautiful Kealakekua Bay and known for the best Kona coffee since 1984. Here you’ll see coffee growing on the trees and learn about the various steps and processes in making coffee, all of which happen right here on the farm. You’ll sample 100% Kona Coffee at a gorgeous overlook with stunning views of Kealakekua Bay and the monument to Captain Cook standing on the only sliver of British land in the United States.
Punalu'u Black Sand Beach
The adventure continues as you head through the South Kona and Ka’u Districts. Stunning views, alternating between stark lava flows and Hawaiian dry forest, are visible through the huge picture windows of your tour vehicle. We stop briefly at Punalu’u Bake Shop, the southern most bakery in America. Offering the finest time-honored Hawaiian sweetbreads since 1991, the Bake Shop offers an array of breads and cookies. Shortly thereafter, you’ll arrive at picturesque Punalu’u Black Sand Beach. Lined with swaying coconut palm trees, this is one of the best black sand beaches on the island. Stroll along the beach and look for honu (Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles) feeding just offshore or sun-worshipping on the sand. Picnic-style lunch will be served here weather permitting.

5.00Booked this tour for my birthday and it didnt disappoint. Tour guy Mac was awesome. He was very informative and very funny. He made the tour interesting from beginning to end. Mind you, it was a 12 hour tour. Not a dull moment

5.00Amazing! Our tour guide, Marcus, was incredibly knowledgeable about the volcanoes and Hawaii. The coffee farm was beautiful, and had great coffee! The black sands beach was exquisite. And we got to stand inside the biggest volcano! We saw steam venting from the earth. We even saw a dot of lava! Great food, and we felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Toward the end, it started to rain and Marcus saved the day by passing out umbrellas so we could walk the lava tube without getting soaked. Super fun and highly recommend!!!
Worth your time and money!

5.00Chris or “Doc” was our guide and he was an excellent guide! He was attentive, informative, and fun! We had a great time exploring the island. He gave us great tips like a local place to eat dinner, which was fabulous! (FORC was delicious!) The tour was well timed with enough pit stops and things to do to keep it going. It was such a treat to take a nap on the way back! I enjoyed being shown cool things that I wouldn’t have found on my own. This is by far worth every penny and I thoroughly enjoyed my time! Well done, Chris!!
Staff very nice and very knowdegeable

5.00We were able to see green turtle. The Included Dinner in Lava Rock Cafe is very good (loco moco, fresh papaya salad, burger) we cleaned our plate. The driver gave us lots of details non-stop while he is driving. He always made sure we are ok, took care of us. This tour company I highly recommend, I woukd like to try their other tours.
Unforgettable experience!

5.00Just wanted to give a shout out to Jen and Chris for making this tour an unforgettable experience! So many sites and experiences that we would never have found on our own, and their knowledge and expertise was the icing on the cake! I highly recommend this tour- every detail was well planned, the pace was perfect and the sight of the lava flow from the Volcano House a memory that will last forever! Forget any concern you might have about doing a group tour- just sit back and enjoy!

4.00The name could be misleading as we were in the Kīlauea Crater overlook during daytime (in the month of August). The guide was nice and knowledgable. The meals were okay.
Exceptional excursion with a great guide !

5.00We made the tour on May 11th and unfortunately I don't remember the name of the driver/guide... but would like to thank him again ! He was just exceptional, making this long excursion an incredibly rich and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. He made sure the tour was matching our preferences, adapting the duration of the stops accordingly. Great experience !!! The administrative preparation of the excursion was much more complex and less enjoyable... I booked the excursion on the Tripadvisor site which then went through an intermediary (Viatour) who then contacted the operator (KapohoKine Adventures). Viator asked me 3 or 4 times to confirm the pickup address... I even sent them the link to the website of the hotel I was staying in (a well known 5-star resort)... Apparently the information did not get through to the operator ; 10 minutes before the pickup time, I received a new phone call asking me again the pickup address... One conclusion ; avoid intermediaries and book directly with the operator !
Great guide!

5.00This trip was above and beyond informational. Our tour guide Ryan is SO knowledgeable not to mention courteous and attentive. We were traveling with my two 84 year old parents and he was very patient. In addition to all the volcano information and sightings we got to see a coffee plantation and the most southern bakery in the US. Once nightfall hit he took us back to Kilauea volcano and we got to see lava oozing and splattering. I highly recommend this tour, it was good fun. And hopefully you will luck out and get Ryan as your guide.
Awesome
