Choose your own adventure
This self guided tour was everything! I loved that it gave us the option to choose our own adventures. If we passed something, the tour would recognize it and move on to the next thing. It was so nice to have something that linked directly to gps for us. When we lost internet connection in the rainforest, this tour got us through to the main road. The tour guide had an awesome voice too!

My wife and I booked a tour for the Craft Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour and we were was not disappointed. The Chocolate Tasting and Farm tour were both very informative and detailed. For the Farm Tour, Jude our Guide, explained from the beginning of how he became friend's with the owner's son Colin, how the cacao farm came into existence, the planting of the cacao trees, all the way through the total processing of making the cacao from the pods. The cacao shop offered the tasting of numerous chocolates from the Island of Hawaii and Oahu, numerous types of specialty chocolate bars and even chocolate nibs for an alternative to coffee and tea. Well worth the money ...

Big Island Historical Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay

Beautiful Kona coast vistas, attentive staff, delicious dinner and Sunset!
We enjoyed every minute of this dinner cruise! We left the Kailua Kona pier and several Dolphins swam near us which was a wonderful start. We followed the coast with a local guide describing the places along the shore. We also had a musician providing lovely Hawaiian music. Dinner included a salad, followed by Chicken, mashed potatoes, greens and a roll. Finally, a delicious cheesecake for dessert. We saw a beautiful sunset as we were heading back to the pier. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the cruise. This trip was amazing and one of the best things to do when visiting the island of Hawaii!
