Itinerary

  • Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee Farm Tours & Konalani Coffee Bar

    Visit an award winning 100% Kona Coffee Farm, with exclusive access, tasting and tour.

    30 minutes

  • Punalu'u Black Sand beach

    Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Ka'u coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii. Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Ka'u, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large Honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach.

    30 minutes

  • Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

    Start the day at a coffee farm and walk on a black sand beach. Spend the day at Volcanoes National Park for a fulfilling volcanic experience. Walk the abandoned Crater Rim Road to the new caldera overlook. Explore the famous Chain of Craters Road which includes vistas, craters, lava flow walks, ancient petroglyphs, and sea arches. Explore a lava tube, see diverse vegetation, and more. Travel the heart of the island over the famous Saddle Road, with its amazing expanses and a world class sunset.

    4 hours

  • Hilo

    Drive through Historic town of Hilo.

    30 minutes

  • Rainbow Falls

    On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below. When it rains, (which it often does in Hilo), the engorged Wailuku River makes the falls wider, muddier and louder. On these days, you won’t see the rainbows for which this spot is named, but the sheer volume of water and the accessibility of this spot for all ages make it a fun, quick and easy excursion.

    30 minutes

  • Kaumana Caves Park

    This park offers a quick diversion into an unique volcanic feature, a a lava tube. You can descend on a metal ladder into a skylight in a lava tube that was created by an 1881 flow from Mauna Loa. Learn how a lava tube forms. The park features restrooms and picnic tables. Round Trip Mileage: 0.5 mile

    30 minutes

  • Saddle Road (Pass By)

    Saddle Road, Hawaii, is considered among the most spectacular roads in the world. This is 55-mile drive of a chance of a lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 goes through all four of her climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll see a few places with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. But just after Saddlehouse Road, you’ll see the ridges that show where a 1936 flow slowly came to a stop 2 miles away. Near the road you can see where lava thickened and left the telltale mounds of a slowing flow. Just after mile 23, you’ll come close to a popular local landmark, Pu`u Huluhulu, which is an older Mauna Kea cinder cone, or kīpuka, and it’s surrounded by younger lava flows. At this point, you’re near the peak height for Saddle Road, about 1.25 miles in elevation – 6,632 feet. From here, you’ll continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of history

A Fabulous Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We’ve been to every place on this tour over the past few years and we expected that we would enjoy this tour. It surpassed our expectations. Having a geologist as your guide and host was fantastic. We learned so much, enjoyed not having to drive and having our entire day totally planned. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy! Lunch and dinner were delightful as were the other guests on the trip. Highly recommend and if offered again we sign up immediately.

Experience the natural wonders of Hawaii with an expert geologist and world-class guide: Zane at HGT.

Published on Jul, 2024

Our private tour with Zane was a top highlight of our 10-day trip to Hawai'i. Zane is a wealth of information: utilizing his lifelong career as a world-traveling geologist and his decade living on the big island. He offered unmatched information about the natural surroundings, native culture, and useful tips for tourists during their stay. Zane was prepared for everything: snacks for the kids, spare parkas for when the weather turns, and well-maintained relationships with the locals and park employees to make sure your trip is seamless and enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to a group of any size or age traveling to the Kona area.

Great volcano tour

Published on Feb, 2024

Great tour with Zane, a retired geologist who is a living encyclopedia of volcano and island science and history. Fun, well organized tour

Awesome day with a true park expert

Published on Nov, 2023

Our family - 2 kids and 2 teens - had an amazing day with David! He was so knowledgeable and knew the park so well. We are an active family and were able to do a ton of walks/short hikes. The park is simply unbelievable and David really connected us with the history and geology. We felt like we saw so much. Very well taken care of - great lunch, plenty of drinks and snacks. We had a warm, sunny day but there were jackets, etc. in case. Couldn’t recommend more.

Wonderful!

Published on May, 2023

We were a family with adult children who did the private tour from cruise port in Hilo. This was wonderful! Zane met us at the port and ushered us around the island, showing us everything he could in our time frame. He was engaging and informative. He took very good care of us, even helping us on something the following day which was very much appreciated. He clearly loves his island and sharing it with others. This tour was a highlight of our Hawaii vacation. If you have a day on the Big Island, and want to learn about it, I highly recommend this tour.
