The farm is located in the Kona district on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano. The region's unique climate, with its rich volcanic soil, sunny mornings, cloud-covered afternoons, and consistent rainfall, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee
30 minutes
Punalu'u Black Sand beach
Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, located on the southeastern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, is famous for its striking black sand, which is formed from volcanic basalt. The beach is surrounded by lush coconut palms and offers a unique and scenic environment for visitors. It’s also a popular spot for viewing Hawaiian green sea turtles, which often bask on the shore. While the beach's waters can be rough, making it less ideal for swimming, it’s a must-see destination for its natural beauty and cultural significance, providing a unique glimpse into Hawaii's volcanic origins
30 minutes
Manuka State Wayside Park
Manuka State Wayside Park is a tranquil, 13-acre park located on the Big Island of Hawaii along the Hawaii Belt Road (Highway 11). Nestled on the slopes of Mauna Loa, the park features a diverse mix of wet and dry forest ecosystems, offering visitors a peaceful setting for picnicking and hiking. The park's 2-mile Manuka Nature Trail takes you through lush native forests, showcasing a variety of plant species, volcanic features, and providing insights into the area's unique geology and ecology.
This lesser-known gem is home to various native Hawaiian plants and wildlife, including endemic bird species like the Hawaiian hawk and honeycreeper.

Starting at the visitor center, you learn about the park’s geology and history before heading out to explore. At Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, you witness the awe-inspiring glow of molten lava, a powerful reminder of the island's volcanic activity. The Kīlauea Iki Rainforest Lookout provides a striking contrast, offering views of a lush rainforest surrounding a massive crater, where a trail leads through the remnants of a past eruption. Walking through the Thurston Lava Tube, you experience a natural tunnel formed by flowing lava, and at the active steam vents, you feel the heat rising from the earth, reminding you of the intense geothermal activity beneath your feet. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into the forces that continue to shape the island.

N/A (Pass By)
Mauna Kea Access Road is a steep, winding route that leads to the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s tallest volcano and the highest point in the state. Starting from the Saddle Road (Route 200), the road ascends through various climates, from grassy plains to barren, volcanic landscapes. As you climb, the air becomes thinner, and temperatures drop significantly.
Kohala Coast (Pass By)
The Kohala Coast is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, and scenic views. The area has a drier climate compared to other parts of the island, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and exploring places like Mauna Kea, which is nearby.
Hilo (Pass By)
Hilo, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, boasts a rich history and vibrant cultural scene. The town features attractions such as the Lyman Museum, which showcases Hawaii’s natural and cultural history, and the Hilo Historic District, where visitors can explore preserved early 20th-century buildings. Additionally, the Pacific Tsunami Museum offers insights into the impact of tsunamis on the region, while Liliuokalani Gardens provides a serene setting to honor Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani.
The Hilo Farmers Market, though not historical, is a lively hub that reflects local culture and history through its diverse range of goods and produce. These elements together make Hilo a fascinating destination for those interested in Hawaii’s heritage and natural beauty.

We were fortunate to observe Kileau erupt! Mel the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour.
Great tour, the guide made the day exceptionally wonderful
Published on Dec, 2024
The staff at this company are wonderful. I called a few times with various questions before the tour, and the office staff were always incredibly kind and patient in addressing all my questions and concerns. The tour was full of great activities and scenery, and is organized so that almost anyone can participate and enjoy it. The real star of this experience though was the guide Melvin. He is amazing, and just know that if you have the good luck of having him as your guide, you are in for a really great day.
Senic, educational, and Mel was the best guide
Published on Aug, 2023
Mel was the best. It was not only a scenic but extremely educational experience. Mel met us at the airport and made sure we got to him. With 10 years as a tour guide, a lifetime resident, and a family history going back 100s of years, he was an endless source of information. A scholar of Captain Cook, he shared the European discovery of the Hawaiian Islands in great detail, melding it with the culture Captain Cook encountered. He also provided a thorough, detailed explanation of the geology associated with the Hawaiian Islands and volcanoes. With only 2 couples on the tour, we had his undivided attention and he through in a quick visit to the beautiful Rainbow Falls in Hilo before taking us to the airport. I must admit that I was getting a little concerned about time, but he got us to our flight on time - as he promised.
I had a lot of questions in preparation for the tour, and Jason was amazing. He even provided information and tips on sites and activities we weren't doing with Aloha Sunshine Tours. Definitely a quality, customer service oriented business.
Go see the volcanoes on the Big Island!!!
Published on Jul, 2023
We did the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Experience from Maui, and it was INCREDIBLE!!! Mel was our tour guide for the day on the Big Island, and he was so knowledgeable and thorough!! His love for his island and people made the excursion so special!! He was so genuine and kind to me and my family. He was patient with our 9 year old and almost 4 year old daughters and their questions. He told us a lot of the history of the island and the science behind volcanoes and the formation of the islands. He was AWESOME & we had the BEST DAY touring Hawaii and the volcano national park!! The black sand beach was awesome too!! The flights from Maui to Oahu and then to Hawaii were seamless and set up by Aloha Sunshine Tours for us. Thank you for an incredible excursion on our vacation. We will never forget the awesome memories we made on July 6, 2023!!
