★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 7 hours · from $267

Full-day Kohala waterfalls adventure with 4WD driving, a private one-mile stream walk, a waterfall swim, and a cliffside picnic.

“We had a wonderful walk through the forest to see several waterfalls, with the highlight being a refreshing swim at the base of one of the falls. It was a nice sunny day but the trail was a little slick at some points. I’d recommend wearing tennis or hiking shoes and bringing water shoes for the swim. It is very rocky getting in the water. After the swim we had a picnic lunch with a gorgeous view of the ocean and neighboring cliffs and valleys. Our guide was excellent and we met some great people in our group of hikers.”

“Big Mike was awesome! We loved our tour with all the little touches like the lei, snacks, gift, and friendly service. We just missed the eruption of the volcano which was a tad disappointing but Mike had said he thought it was going to happen! He had great info about the area and many of our stops. He took us to a great lunch which is included. The farmers market for some souvenirs and fruit to eat at the beach. Definitely enjoyed the small group feel of our tour and would do another tour with Lehua tours.”

9.Big Island – South Island Coastal Loop Driving Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $15Best value

Drive a Big Island south-coast loop with GPS audio, offline maps, and flexible stops from Kona to South Point and onward.

“Beware that this tour does NOT include Volcanoes Natl Park even though the park is located on the South Loop. One of the side trips the tour recommended was completely inaccurate. There was an option for clockwise and counterclockwise loop. But only the counterclockwise loop seemed to work for us. The sections that worked properly were informative. I assume that some of our issues could have been due to operator error. An easy way to access help would be great.”
