Itinerary

1. Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site
Glide past one of Hawai‘i’s most important historic sites: Puʻukoholā Heiau, a massive war temple built under the direction of King Kamehameha I. As we pass, you’ll learn how thousands of warriors carried stones by hand to construct this temple—an effort that helped Kamehameha unite the Hawaiian Islands. Take in sweeping coastal views as we continue along the Kohala coastline.
2. Hāmākua Macadamia Nut Company
Start your day with fresh Hawaiian coffee and tasty macadamia nut treats. A perfect energizer before we hit the road.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Waipio Valley Lookout
Arrive at one of the most dramatic viewpoints on the island. Known as the “Valley of the Kings,” Waipiʻo is steeped in legend and lined with towering cliffs, taro fields, and waterfalls cascading deep into the valley. From the lookout, you’ll get postcard-perfect views of the lush valley floor and the black sand beach below. Photos here are a must.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Akaka Falls State Park
Take a leisurely rainforest stroll through bamboo groves, wild ginger, and giant ferns to witness the breathtaking 442-foot Akaka Falls, one of the island’s tallest free-falling waterfalls. The lush trail and tropical scents make this a favorite nature moment.
Duration: 30 mins
5. Rainbow Falls
A signature Hilo landmark, Rainbow Falls cascades over a lava cave said to be the home of a Hawaiian goddess. In the morning light, you may even catch shimmering rainbows in the mist. The overlook is easily accessible, making this a scenic and refreshing stop.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Hilo Farmer's Market
A paradise for food lovers, this bustling market offers a delicious variety of local lunch options. Pick up freshly prepared meals, poke bowls, plate lunches, island pastries, tropical fruits, and handmade treats. Whether you self-pack or buy on-site, you’ll enjoy authentic flavors of the Big Island. Nearby is a full supermarket—perfect for snacks, drinks, sunscreen, or anything you might need for the rest of the trip.
Duration: 45 mins
7. Big Island Candies
A beloved Hawaiian institution, Big Island Candies is famous for its handcrafted cookies, dipped shortbreads, chocolates, and candies made with local ingredients. Watch artisans at work through the viewing windows, sample freshly made sweets, and browse unique gifts. This is also the last restroom stop before the volcanic region.
Duration: 15 mins
8. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Step into one of the world’s most unique landscapes—shaped by powerful geological forces and alive with Hawaiian culture and legend. Depending on weather conditions, here are the unforgettable destinations you’ll explore: Steam Vents Feel the heat of the earth rising beneath your feet as warm volcanic steam escapes from cracks in the ground. Kīlauea Overlook Take in sweeping views of the famous Kīlauea caldera—one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku) Walk through a remarkable lava tube created hundreds of years ago during a powerful volcanic eruption. Volcano House Overlook Visit the iconic Volcano House—Hawai‘i’s historic hotel perched right on the rim of Kīlauea. Step inside to enjoy the warm, rustic lodge atmosphere and take in one of the most famous vantage points of the caldera from its large picture windows. A perfect spot for photos and a moment of awe.
Duration: 100 mins
9. Ka'u Coffee Mill
Kaʻū Coffee (time permitting) Kaʻū is one of Hawai‘i’s hidden coffee gems. Visit a genuine local producer and taste smooth, flavorful Kaʻū coffee—an under-the-radar favorite that many consider even richer than Kona coffee.
Duration: 15 mins
10. Punalu'u Black Sand Beach
Walk along the famous black sands formed from ancient lava flows meeting the ocean. This striking beach is often home to Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) basking on the shore. Enjoy time to explore, take photos, and feel the unique texture of the volcanic sand beneath your feet.
