Itinerary
The day starts with a drive to Greenwell Farms where you’ll be able to taste the full-bodied flavors of Kona coffee beans and learn about the process of the perfect brew. As you ease into your day, breathe in the clean mountain air, and enjoy a deli-style picnic lunch.
Located at the Southernmost point in the United States, this bakery is a must-visit location. Bakers buzz around as locals and travelers alike peer into the glass cases, where fresh malasadas, sweet bread and other baked goods are showcased- try one for yourself!
This iconic location on the southern tip of the Big Island is home to the most recognized black sand beach anywhere on Hawaii Island. The beach has black sand made of basalt and created by lava flowing into the ocean. Punaluʻu is frequented by endangered hawksbill and green turtles, which can often be seen basking on the black sand.
Witness the stunning views of a crater that experienced thousands of earthquakes, many explosive rockfalls and the draining of Kilauea Caldera’s gigantic lava lake. Kailani Tours’ guides will provide an intimate behind-the-scenes tour of the park that guests simply cannot experience on their own. These park-certified guides will provide the ultimate guest experience as they show off their favorite locations of the park.
End your day of adventure and awe-inspiring sights with a well-deserved three-course dinner at the Kilauea Lodge’s acclaimed restaurant located in the town of Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. The dishes are prepared using fresh, local ingredients and creative flavor combinations that delight the taste buds.

5Derek the tour guide Rocks‼️
The tour was amazing. Derek our tour guide was so easy to get along with. The whole day went according to plan. Derek took his time and explained a lot of Hawaiian history and culture. I would recommend Derek as a tour guide every time. The restaurant for dinner was on point. The group size was small and manageable. The atmosphere was as family like. Very cool tour.
1HORRIBLE- SCAM!
DO NOT USE Kailani Tours! They are a SCAM!! They cancelled our tour the day before. Took over a week to reach. FRAUD! THEY CANCELLED. NEVER REFUNDED. Still fighting for refund five months later. Stressful. Business going under.
5Great experience
We had a great time on this tour! Derek was a great guide, very knowledgeable and energetic. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great excursion on Kona/Kailua!
5Great Day Tour and Lunch
My wife and I had a wonderful day tour with Kailani Tours leaving from Kona Hawaii and heading south. We stopped at a local cafe for coffee, a wonderful bakery, black sand beach where we saw sea turtles, then up to Volcanoes National Park for a crater rim walk and a great lunch included with the tour. From there we went to Hilo where we saw Rainbow Falls, stopped at Big Island Candies (great shortbread and chocolate), a local farmers market then back to Kona on the Saddle Road. The tour van was comfortable and our tour guides very informative regarding local scenery, geology and history. On the way back to Hilo we did unfortunately experience a flat tire on the tour van but the tour guides made sure we remained comfortable while they replaced the tire and got us back on our way. I definitely recommend Kailani for tours on the Big Island.
4Nice tour, good driver/guide, pity it was overcast and we saw only a smidgeon of lava
Just a few comments… Plus points 1. Nice tour, good driver/guide (Derek), comfortable van, relaxed vibe 2. Restaurant meal was good although the alcoholic drinks were expensive and the service was unexceptional 3. Walking through the amazing lava tube at nighttime Minus points 1. The volcano chose to be pretty inactive on the day we visited 2. The sky was overcast so we didn’t get dark-sky star viewing 3. Unresponsive customer service from the tour company prior to the trip - outsourced to the Philippines, it seems Overall good, but we’d probably hire a car and do it ourselves next time
5Incredible

About Big Island of Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest and youngest of the main Hawaiian islands, with active volcanoes, black-sand beaches, coffee farms and clear skies.
The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined and still being shaped by active volcanoes. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has steaming craters, lava fields and the Chain of Craters Road down to the sea.
