Activity itinerary

20 stops
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Not included

Kiholo Bay

Begin your day with a sweeping view of Kiholo Bay from the scenic viewpoint along the road.

Kua Bay

This pristine white sand beach along the Kona Coast is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling or kayaking--making it great for the whole family!

Lava Tube Cave

The Huehue lava tube is an enormous and ancient lava tube formed from Hualalai Volcano. Have a look for it on your left-hand side as you’re driving down Mamalahoa Highway. Please note: This lava tube used to be accessible to the public but has been closed off to visitors for safety reasons. So drive-by only.

Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park

Check out goat pens constructed out of stones, fishponds and fish traps, petroglyphs, altars, and even a heiau!

Kailua-Kona

We will pass through Kailua-Kona on Ali’i Drive. You are welcome to stop here now to grab a bite to eat, walk around this quaint seaside town, or pick up snacks for the road. Or, feel free to return at another time.

Magic Sands

The beach is also known as “La’aloa,” White Sands, or Disappearing Sands, and it got the name from the sand that is pulled off from the beach during the winter or early spring, leaving the lava rock exposed.

Kahalu'u Beach Park

Have you ever seen a church on the beach? Well, here you can! Look out for a small white church perched right on the beach. This beach is also a popular surf spot and also a great place to snorkel. In fact, the rock structure to the right of the church is a one-of-a-kind heiau or temple thought to be dedicated to surfing.

Kamehameha III Birthplace

Take a walk to learn a bit about Hawaii’s history and the story of one of its most famous kings, Kamehameha III. The walking area has historical signs and markers along the way explaining how Kona has been home to important royal sites since the 1600s.

Lekeleke/Kuamo'o Burial Grounds

Pull over for a look at an ancient battlefield and burial ground. While you’re stopped, we’ll tell you the story of this historic spot.

Big Island Bees

Big Island Bees makes honey from all sorts of flowers that are grown on the island. With over 2,500 hives and 125 million bees, they know their stuff. Stop by to walk through the museum, look at the shop (which has body care products, too!), and sample some of their locally-produced honey -- for free!

Kealakekua Bay

Kealakekua Bay is a marine life conservation district. Because the water here is usually calm, underwater life thrives making it a great spot for snorkeling. While you’re there, look out in the distance for a white structure -- that’s the Captain Cook monument commemorating the death of the British sea captain and first European to discover the islands.

Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park

30m
Admission ticket not included

Within the park are several historical landmarks like the grounds where the ali’i (royalty) lived within the Pu'uhonua.

Honaunau Bay

Two Step Beach got its name from the lava rock steps you can use to enter the bay. You can access the beach on Honaunau Beach Road, just before the entrance to the Pu'uhonua.

The Painted Church

This historic church was built in 1899 by Father John Velghe of Belgium. Unlike the typical stained glass windows that you’ll find in churches, this religious site is completely painted on the inside.

Kealakekua

At this point in the tour, you might be feeling a little hungry. As we drive back along South Kona Belt Road, we’ll mention some great lunch options along the route between Honaunau and Kealakekua.

Kona Coffee Living History Farm

45m
Admission ticket not included

Kona coffee is one of the most renowned java in the world. Here’s your chance to learn about the famous brew and what it takes to fill a mug. At this living history museum, you can take a self-guided tour through the orchard, farmhouse, and coffee mill.

Greenwell Farms

Another great spot to learn about coffee and its importance to this region of Big Island is the Greenwell Farm and Museum. This is a multi-faceted agribusiness using modern farming practices. In addition to growing their own coffee plants, they also buy and process coffee beans from over 300 farmers in the Kona District.

Aloha Theatre

As you drive down the road, you’ll see the Aloha Theatre -- a historic site that was once the place to go in the 1930s for live shows and entertainment. Fortunately, the community has helped to preserve it, and today they still have live performances.

Kailua-Kona

Once you arrive back in Kailua Town, we suggest you hang out for a bit. Stop for a bite to eat overlooking the ocean.

Waikoloa

After a full day of exploring, we'll enjoy a leisurely drive back to Waikoloa with more fascinating stories to keep you entertained. When we reach Waikoloa, you'll have the option of visiting a few cultural sites with ancient petrogylphs or rock drawings.

Day 2: North Island Jungle Adventure Loop

26 stops
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Not included

Hilo

We’ll begin our tour in Hilo Town. Although this town may be small, there’s plenty to see and do.

King Kamehameha Statue

Our tour begins at the King Kamehameha Statue in Hilo. Learn the fascinating backstory of this 14-foot bronze sculpture of Hawaii's first king and how it ended up in Hilo.

Coconut Island

Coconut Island is a small beach park in Hilo accessed by a small bridge. This island is also called Moku Ola, which means 'healing island' or 'island of life', and it used to be the home of an ancient temple that was dedicated to healing. Legend has it that swimming around the island three times would heal any ailments or ill feelings.

Lili'uokalani Botanical Garden

Liliuokalani Gardens is one of the gems of Hilo Town. This park is known as the biggest edo-style garden outside of Japan! In this serene park you’ll find majestic red bridges over Koi ponds, statues, and pagodas, along with stone lanterns lining the pathways.

Rainbow Falls

Located just a short drive from Downtown Hilo is Rainbow Falls. On sunny days, rainbows appear amid the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall - nearly 100 feet in diameter - plunges over a natural lava cave into the river below.

Boiling Pots

A few minutes down the road, you’ll find Boiling Pots, a chain of overflowing waterfalls that looks like boiling pots of water after it rains.

Kaumana Caves Park

Kaumana Caves is a massive cave part of a 25-mile-long lava tube created by the Mauna Loa lava flow of 1880. The public part of the cave stretches about 2 miles and quickly goes pitch black as soon as you enter.

Naha Stone

Pull over in front of the Hilo Public Library, and take a look at the Naha Stone on the grass outside. In ancient times the Naha Stone was believed to have spiritual powers and that whoever could move or overturn this 5,000-pound rock would then be granted the power to unite the islands. Legend has it that at the age of 30, Kamehameha successfully overturned the stone. He later united the islands of Hawai'i and became its first king.

Onomea Bay Trail

Onomea Trail is an easy hike that runs along a breathtaking section of coastline with 180-degree views of Onomea Bay. The trail to the bay is short, less than a mile roundtrip, but it’s worth it for the photo opportunities alone! You can also take the fork in the trail to explore Onomea stream where it opens to the ocean.

Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden

15m
Admission ticket not included

Stroll through a manicured garden with over 2,500 plant species, then we recommend a visit the nearby Hawai'i Tropical Botanical Garden. The garden protects the unique and endangered plants of the rainforests and features miles of trails under a canopy of trees. The place is magical!

Akaka Falls State Park

30m
Admission ticket not included

Arguably one of the most famous waterfalls on the Big Island, you can take a half-mile stroll on a paved path through a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves, and draping ferns to get a glimpse of this iconic natural wonder.

Laupahoehoe Train Museum

30m
Admission ticket not included

When you take this tour, we’ll tell you all about the history of sugarcane in Hawai'i. This industry once flourished on the islands, and railways were a key mode of transportation for this vital export. This museum celebrates the history of the Hamakua Coast and the railroads that connected this Big Island’s sugarcane industry to the rest of Hawai'i and the world.

Laupahoehoe Tsunami Memorial

In 1946, there was a devastating tsunami in this area that killed over 150 people. Many of them were school children. During the tour, you’ll hear the story of this tragic day and learn about a few brave survivors.

Waipi'o Valley

Waipi'o Valley is one of the most beautiful and storied valleys in Hawai'i. According to legends, the gods lived in Waipi'o in ancient days. The sacred valley was also the royal center for many ancient rulers on the Big Island and was the boyhood home of Kamehameha the Great.

Tex Drive-In

Well, do we have a treat for you! On our way out of Honoka'a, we’ll guide you to TEX Drive In -- a local spot with hearty plate lunches that will keep you fueled and ready to go for the rest of your journey.

Waimea

Waimea Town is an artsy farm town known for its quaint bed and breakfasts and cowboy history. Waimea also has lots of amazing restaurants, a theatre, art exhibits, and historic ranches.

Waimea Nature Park (ula La'au)

The name of this park is Ulu La’au which means "circle of trees" in Hawaiian. It’s a great place for a stroll or a picnic to relax next to a flowing stream.

Anna Ranch Heritage Center

The Anna Ranch is a national historic site that harks back to the Big Island’s plantation days. The white, wooden walls contain a lot of stories; it’s been in the same ranching family for five generations and was home to Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske, aka the first lady of ranching.

Parker Ranch

Here you’ll find two historic houses built in the 1800s. The houses serve as the Parker Ranch headquarters. Explore the grounds and historic homes on one of their self-guided tours. It's a great way to experience what life was like on this iconic ranch throughout the years.

Daniel K. Inouye Highway

After Waimea Town, you’ll embark on your drive across Saddle Road, officially named the Daniel K. Inouye Highway. This is the main thoroughfare on the Big Island that connects Kona in the west with Hilo in the east. Along this 50-minute drive, we'll keep you entertained with more history, geology, and music. We'll also share the inspiring story of the highway's namesake--Daniel K. Inouye.

Maunakea Visitor Information Station

The summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from its base on the ocean floor to its summit. Astronomers from around the world explore the universe from its peak, and Hawaiians have many ancient spiritual connections to this special site. For visitors, it is one of the clearest places on the planet for viewing the night sky and offers a rare opportunity to experience the polar tundra in Hawai'i.
