It’s Just Like Having a Tour Guide in Your Car™ WHAT TO EXPECT: Includes 4 driving road trips to the Big Island’s best attractions, viewpoints and stories. Most visitors stay and start the tours in Kohala, Kailua Kona or Hilo. Includes all 4 driving routes; Kohala North Route (1/2 day) If you only have a half day, travel to the North end of the island. View the beautiful Kohala beaches and resort areas of Waikoloa and Mauni Lani. Continue on and enjoy the laidback charm of Hawi. On the return drive, you’ll discover Hawaii’s wild wild west and the Paniolo (Hawaiian cowboys) around the rural and ranching areas of Waimea before connecting back to the coast. South Kona & Coffee Coast Route (allow 1/2 day) Pack your swimsuit and snorkeling gear for another half day itinerary, this time driving South of Kona. Coffee has been grown around the world, but some of the most highly prized beans come from the upland slopes around Kona. After this jolt, you may want to connect with some of Hawaii’s significant cultural sites, the sanctuary at the Place of Refuge and at Kealakekua Bay. Volcanoes National Park Route (allow full day) Allow a full day and head to the most active volcano on the planet. On our travels to Volcanoes National Park it’s a perfect time to review the volcanic forces at work behind the creation of the Hawaiian Islands, or you may prefer to embrace the Hawaiian legends version. Big Island Circle Route (allow full day) For the true adventurers, a full Island Circle itinerary adds touring to the green or East side of the Island. From the panoramic views along the Hamakua Coast and the 442ft Akaka Falls State Park to peeks into the lush Waipio Valley. Plan for time in and around Hilo with it’s Liliuokalani Gardens, nearby waterfalls and lava tube caves. (Don’t try to include Volcanoes National Park to this day, it just isn’t viable timewise). WHAT YOU’LL SEE: Highlights along the tour route include; • Volcanoes National Park • Coffee Coast • Waipio Valley • Kealakekua Bay • Place of Refuge • Kamehameha Statues • Hamakua Coast • Akaka Falls • Waimea • Lava Tube Caves • Hilo • Kona • Liliuokalani Gardens • Rainbow Falls BATTERY USAGE: ++ Continued use of GPS/Location Services in the background increases battery usage.
