Full description

The morning is filled with guided visits to some of the most majestic waterfalls on the Big Island. The views stop you in your tracks at the Waipio Valley lookout, where a dramatic backdrop of lush cliffs drops into the sparkling blue ocean. Continue riding along the Hamakua coast as more postcard-worthy views pass by your window before visiting Akaka Falls and the famous Rainbow Falls. Take a short walk through the rainforest for an up-close view and plenty of photo opportunities. In the afternoon, explore the wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including steam vents, the Halema’uma’u and Kilauea Iki crater lookouts, and take a short hike along crater rim trail. From here, relax and take it all in at Punalu’u Beach, a great place to spot marine life from the black-sand shore. On the leisurely drive back around sunset, you’ll see views of South Point, the southernmost point of the United States, and Kealakekua Bay. Finally, enjoy a visit to Kona Coffee Farm. Stroll through the orchards with your guide and learn about the harvesting and milling process while sampling a warm cup of Kona-grown coffee.

Derek was a great tour guide. We enjoyed his stories, history telling, knowledge and insight for all attractions. We felt the tour allowed us to see everything we wanted to without needing to rent a car and risk venturing in or onto things we shouldn’t. It was also great to have someone else to trust to do the driving with the experience of a “local.” The sights chosen for the tour were so beautiful and gave us a memorable trip!

We got to see so many things, Dreu was a fabulous tour guide, he went over the top making sure we had a good experience and I can say I had the best. I recommend having Dreu as a tour guide if you have a choice, he pays close attention to every detail he does trying to give people the best experience. Once in a lifetime experience with exceptional service

Literally the coolest thing I did while in Hawaii, Dreu has been one of the most enthusiastic tour guides I have ever had. He was very knowledgeable about the local places, fauna, plants and history. He told us numerous absolutely captivating local stories. The places we saw on our trip were absolutely spectacular and I 100% enjoyed myself for the full duration of the trip. I really recommend you booking it!
