Itinerary

1

We take you on a rugged, fun trail to a Hawaiian lava tube. The trail can be very bumpy at times and dusty. If you are prone to sunburns, we suggest you wear long sleeves or even pants to keep from burning as we are out in the sun 2.5 hours out of 3. We give you some history on it and the surrounding area. We generally spend about 15 minutes there. Then we head off down the trail on a fun 4WD lava flow to a scenic look out point. Where we give you more history and great photo ops. we spend about 15 minutes there, Then we drive down through an ancient Kiawe forest on a dirt trail, then through a huge lave flow to Paakea Bay where we will spend about 20-30 minutes under the shade tree to eat our lunch/snacks. Then its off to Ka'alualu Bay to see some green sand. We generally spend about 10 minutes there. Also a great photo spot. Then we take you on a cliff drive along the ocean to Pulehua Island where we will hike out onto a peninsula to see green sea turtles and tropical fish. The best photo shot of the tour! And we may possible see Mr. Blue, our resident Parrot fish. We spend approx. 15 minutes there. Then its back up the trail for the ride back. Clean up towels and hose afterwards
