Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Discover magnificent Kona on a narrated tour featuring the island's memorable highlights. Board your motorcoach for a scenic drive south. Visit Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, which translates to "Place of Refuge at Honaunau." This enchanting cultural site is a restored ancient Hawaiian religious sanctuary. Enjoy the spectacular flora and fauna and the tranquility that echoes through the area. Continue your drive towards Keokea, where you'll come upon the serene St. Benedict's Painted Church. Step inside to see the colorful interior decorated with dramatic murals painted by a Belgian priest. A wide variety of Kona's famous coffees are on display at the Royal Kona Coffee Store. Sample a cup and learn about the distinctive flavors in Kona's legendary brews. Purchase some beans as a souvenir of your visit. Return to port with a deeper appreciation of this magical island.

Special Notes:

The Painted Church is closed to visitors on weekends and Monday due to worship services; the church will not be visited on these calls and additional time will be spent at other sites on the tour.
