WHAT YOU VISIT
Bay View Farms
Nestled on the slopes of Mauna Loa volcano just above beautiful Kealakekua Bay, a tour of the 24-acre Kona coffee farm includes a look at the complete processing facility where you'll learn the traditional methods of growing, picking and processing the coffee beans that are synonymous with delicious Kona coffee. Then, with the great outdoors as your sampling room, you can enjoy a cup while gazing out over Kealakekua Bay and the monument to Captain Cook standing on the only sliver of British land in the United States.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Kahuku Unit
Stretched out over 116,000 acres, the park is home to two volcanoes including Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on earth. Witness the rugged beauty of Mother Nature as you follow your National Park Service trained guide through a landscape of cinder cones, lava fields and a hidden meadow with old growth native trees. Witness the dramatic and surreal landscape of the 1868 lava flow and climb atop Pu'u o Lokuana cinder cone complete with sweeping views of Ka'u.
Punalu'u Beach
Lined with swaying coconut palm trees, this is one of the best black sand beaches on the island. Stroll along the beach and you can often see endangered Hawksbill turtles and green turtles sun-worshipping on the sand.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Overlooking beautiful and historic Kealakekua Bay, St. Benedict's Painted Church is an ideal photo subject. Erected in 1899 its interior walls and ceilings are covered in frescoes and murals hand-painted by Father John Velghe.
LUNCH
Following your trek through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, you'll relax with a deli-style picnic lunch.
SHOPPING
As you make your way back to the pier, you'll stop at Punalu'u Bake Shop, a four-acre estate noted for its bakery treats, ice creams and other delights.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
