- Punalu’u Black Sand Beach - This is a great stop if you take the South Route on your way to the volcano. It’s also a great spot for lunch, and your guide can arrange it.
- Kilauea Iki Trail - This is the most recommended hike in the park, and your guide will describe local legends, botany, and history.
- Holualoa - Your guide can take you to one or several of Hawaii Island’s best coffee farms for tasting and tours. The recommendation is to include one Kona Coffee farm, take the south route, and try the even more trendy Ka’u Coffee on the way around the island.
- Pololu Valley Lookout - We can take you to the lookout point of Pololu, or if you are up for a 2-hour hike, we can do that as well.
- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - One can spend a whole day here. How about bringing a picnic lunch and eating it on the lava? That’s our most popular option!
- Greenwell Farms - Great rest stop if we take the South route. Excellent Kona Coffee. Either a quick tasting and explanation or a full detailed coffee tour - your choice.
- Kaumana Caves Park - There are a number of lava tubes on the island. This is one of the best. Either just peek in or venture up to 2 miles (advance planning required).
- South Point Complex - We can take you to the southernmost point of the USA. This is an amazing spot!
- Green Sand Beach (Papakolea) - Hike 2 hours to the most uniquely colored sand in Hawaii. We can set you up with the needed gear and escort you either hiking or catching a local truck for a small additional fee.
- Punalu’u Black Sand Beach - We can take you to this beach, or a number of other less famous black sand beaches including the most recent flows in Puna.
- Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area - Hapuna is one of our destinations, but there are numerous other great beaches less famous. Tell us your preference and we can take you there.
- Paradise Meadows - This is our favorite place to try Mac nuts, Kau Coffee, chocolate, honey, and cookies. No place better. How about picking up a lunch and eating it here on our way to Volcanoes National Park or South Point?
- Keauhou - This quaint boat harbor is the jumping-off point for manta dives, fishing boats, and snorkeling tours. Time it right and we can give you a west-side tour of coffee farms and historical sites, ending here just in time for your manta dive!
- Rainbow Falls - Any tour that passes through Hilo in the daytime can include a stop at Rainbow Falls! It’s usually part of our historical Hilo town drive-through or lunch.
