Overview

Skip the crowded bus tours and experience Hawaiʻi Island in a smaller, more comfortable setting. Our Kona Cruise Tour is limited to just 14 guests, allowing for a more relaxed pace and more time to enjoy each destination.

We focus on the highlights that cruise visitors want to see most, including a Kona coffee farm, the historic Painted Church, scenic coastal viewpoints, and the Place of Refuge. Our itinerary is carefully planned to maximize your time ashore while ensuring a smooth return to your ship.

Travel in a modern 2025 Ford Transit XLT with comfortable seating, large windows, and air conditioning. Convenient pickup is located near the Kona cruise pier at the King Kamehameha Hotel, making the start and end of your day simple and stress-free.

This tour is designed for travelers who want a comfortable, well-organized, and enjoyable way to explore the Kona Coast without feeling rushed or overcrowded.
