Overview

Aloha! Welcome to a private shuttle service! While you can't always rely on Uber and Lyft outside the city limits, we've got you covered for an unforgettable adventure. Here we are your super easy choice for a planned shuttle service to explore the wonders of the western side of the island. As you step off your cruise ship onto the shores of the Big Island, we will be waiting for you on the Kailua pier.

Our journey begins with scenic drive on the coastline of Kona and a visit to a local coffee farm, where you'll indulge in a tasting and have the unique opportunity to take home some authentic 100% Kona coffee, perfect for sharing with loved ones.

Next, we'll make a stop at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau, a national historic sacred site. You'll have the chance for photo opportunities and self-guided relaxation around the temples, and ocean breezes at this revered location.

Let's explore beyond the downtown areas and uncover the hidden gems that make the Big Island truly special.
