Tour Description

Tour ancient Hawaiian sites along the coast, visit early churches and a royal palace, and make stops at a honey farm and coffee orchard to taste some of the island’s locally made treats. Your tour begins at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, where abundant sea life attracted settlements for centuries. Learn about the amazing handmade fishponds and seawalls along the beach and walk along a trail to sacred temples and petroglyphs. Drive through downtown Kona, passing by the former royal vacation home and the oldest Christian church in the Hawaiian Islands.

Ride along the coastline to Big Island Bees, which has been producing organic honey since 1972. Hear about Captain James Cook’s arrival at Kealakekua Bay and enjoy a fresh picnic lunch at the lookout. Then set out for a narrated walking tour at Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park to learn how Hawaiians who had broken an ancient kapu (law) could flee to this seaside location to be absolved by a priest.

Finally, make your way to a Kona coffee farm. Walk through the orchards and learn about the harvesting and milling process and sample a cup of Kona-grown java before heading back for the day.

Visit Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau (City of Refuge)

This is a sacred place that has been an active religious site for Native Hawaiians for hundreds of years. Now managed by the National Park Service, lineal descendants of the place continue to perpetuate ancestral traditions as caretakers and cultural practitioners. As a result, the heiau (temple) and other features within the park continue to function as a religious site for Native Hawaiians. The puʻuhonua (place of refuge) was established in the late 1500s, and for centuries it served as a safe haven for those who had broken one of the kapu (laws). Today, the puʻuhonua is still considered a place of refuge, and it is used for religious ceremonies and cultural events.
