The narratives coupled with the spots brought the Kona area of the Big Island to life! Bus was comfortable. Tour just right amount of time.

Had a great driver and tour guide Kelvin. He was very knowledgeable about the area, coffee production and varying types of local fruit. We also appreciated that the sea turtles showed up for his reservation request. Wear good footwear to get to the turtles as the path is very uneven.

We took this tour on April 29 while visiting the island on a cruise. Our driver/tour guide was new to the tour and not as familiar with the Kona side of the island, thus her commentary was somewhat limited. We could not find anything at the lunch location to eat so we skipped lunch. Perhaps the company should look for a different location offering a wider variety of types of food, also it took too long for the entire bus to be served. I also found the time allotted at each location, especially the painted church and with the turtles to be too limited - 20 minutes was just too short. Finally, the air conditioning on the bus was insufficient to keep it cool.

Our driver started the tour without us even though we were waiting under the green tent for 30 minutes prior. She left thinking she had everyone and turned off her phone! We had to go through customer service to find out what happened! After paying a taxi driver 50 dollars we caught up with them at the coffee farm and missed the tour! Not enough time at the coffee farm nor turtle beach.

The most memorable part of this excursion was getting up close and personal with the sea turtles and seeing so many of them. Even though most of the tour was in the wet, it cleared for the turtles 🐢 . Would recommend this tour and also our guide.

It was okay. Our driver/ tour operator was friendly and sweet. For her first tour she did alright, although not as knowledgeable as we would have liked for the price. Also, the best part of the tour to see the sea turtles and beach was very rushed due to poor time management. Way too much time was spent at lunch waiting on fellow passengers who ate across the street. Resulted in just a quick trip to the beach area and late arrival getting back to the port

This was our first trip to the Hawaiian Islands and wanted to see more than beaches so we selected this tour. It was awesome! Our tour guide Edmond was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area. I was especially happy that our transportation was on a small bus which made it more personable. The coffee plantation was beautiful with free coffee tasting. The painted church was amazing especially after hearing from Edmond the story of how it was built. Lunch was at a small out-of-the-way spot that you would have missed if you blinked. It served authentic Hawaiian food and was delicious! Our only disappointment was not seeing sea turtles on the beach. We did see a few in the water but a couple of beachgoers didn't obey the posted signs to give the turtles their space so they never ventured onto the sand. All in all it was a great value for the money.
