Greenwell Farms
When we arrive at the oldest coffee farm in Hawai'i's history you'll sample 10 different roasts of coffee and afterwards be taken on a tour of the farm.
Punalu'u Bake Shop
As you enter Punalu'u Bakery, you'll be greeted by the aroma of freshly baked bread, pastries, and other sweet treats. The bakery's signature item is its famous Hawaiian sweetbread, a soft and fluffy bread that's perfect for sandwiches, French toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. In addition to the sweetbread, Punalu'u Bakery offers a variety of other baked goods, including savory breads, pastries, cookies, and cakes. Some of the most popular items include the taro bread, a unique bread made from taro root that has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, and the malasada, a Portuguese-style doughnut that's fried to perfection and coated in sugar.

5.00Kona Chris was an excellent tour guide for my family of five. We booked a private tour because of my special needs children and he was very gracious with them, keeping them entertained with stories and jokes. He also had so much interesting Hawaiian history and cultural stories to tell. The kids and we had an excellent time with him and they even asked if we could do another tour with him. Because we were the only family on the tour, we got to choose our itinerary. Snacks and beverages were provided as well as rain gear. The whole experience was wonderful. We would recommend this company to anyone looking to see the highlights of the big island of Hawaii.
Perfect customized day!

Wonderful Travel Guide

5.00Gary is fun, extremely knowledgeable about. the Island and its history and culture. I had more fun just soaking up his knowledge about flora and fauna of Hawaii. I was traveling with two teenage boys and they had fun and adventure swimming inside a waterfall while it was pouring. To top it all he gave the best food recommendations on the Island, which, if you have dined in Kona know is more valuable than his fee is. Do Big Island with Gary, you won't regret.

5.00This was hands down the best decision for our family. This tour was so personable instead of your standard tour. We never felt rushed, and Gary was so full of knowledge and down to earth.
Highlight of our trip

5.00Wow. We were ready for an incredible day exploring the island, but Gary made it magical. His deep local knowledge, flexibility, and warm personality turned each stop—from sampling Kona coffee, tasting iconic island Malasadas, to beautiful waterfalls—into something special. One of the most unforgettable moments was seeing the eruption at the Kilauea volcano. Gary knew exactly where to take us—he beat the traffic, avoided the crowds, and got us an unobstructed view of a once-in-a-lifetime sight. Hands down, the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! It felt like we got to experience everything through the eyes of a local who loves and admires the island. Can’t recommend this and Gary enough!! You won’t regret booking this.
The best day on the Big Island

5.00This tour was exceptional. Gary tailored the day specifically to our family. We all got to see and do everything that we wanted to and then some. He felt more like family then a tour guide and it made our whole trip.
A wonderful day on the Big Island

5.00What a wonderful day on the Big Island. Gary was very knowledgeable, sharing a lot of really interesting information on a wide range of topics throughout the day and we really appreciated his great sense of humor. The tour was able to be adjusted to our needs and interests and we were able to go at our own comfortable pace. The time and care Gary took to ensure we got the most out of the day was incredible and it was such a unique experience. Highly recommend this tour.
