Kona and Kohala hotel pickup to Waipio, tropical gardens, and a private Kulaniapia waterfall swim with lunch included.

“This was an awesome experience! The botanical gardens were amazing and I saw a baby pink pineapple! Swimming in the waterfall looked great and we spent a lot of time chilling on the rocks. Our guide Derek was THE BEST GUIDE!! He was very informational and very funny! He even did a group ‘cavemen-ish’ photo. I highly recommend this! The rainbow falls sadly did not have a rainbow but lunch was yummy! Fair warning is that botanical gardens are WAY too hot and waterfall is KINDA WAY too cold! Also when my daughter was swimming she got all kinds of pebbles, muck and weird goopy stuff in her shoes, I…”

Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary Pantropical Tour (1.5 hrs) - Stop one: the trailhead experience and how the timing works

4.Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary Pantropical Tour (1.5 hrs)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $110

Walk the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary on a small guided tour. Expert explanations, bathrooms at the trailhead, and a peaceful 90 minutes.

“We were led by Anna through the cloud forest and learned so much about the area. It was a beautiful experience and so peaceful. It was a fairly easy walk but the terrain was a little uneven, so people should be aware and wear appropriate shoes. However, I believe there are different paths that can be taken so the walk can be tailored to the ability of the group to some degree. I highly recommend this experience. It is amazing how different Kona is just 20 minutes from the beach.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $287

A small-group, 12-hour early start birding trip to Hakalau’s Pua Akala tract, with 4WD access, expert guidance, and lunch included.

“This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. Garry Dean, our guide, led us to see three of Hawaii’s four rarest birds…on two separate occasions…and in both cases, the rare birds were all in the same tree. Throughout the huge site, he knew which birds could be expected in each area, and almost always spotted them (or heard them) well before anyone else in our group. It seemed like most of the group had their best birding day of their life, all thanks to Garry. And he didn’t just know his birds. As we were walking between areas, he frequently passed on his knowledge about the…”
