Overview

This small-group day tour lasts about seven hours and focuses on the waterfalls of Kohala on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tour begins with a meeting at Hawaii Forest & Trail in Kailua-Kona, where guests check in and use restrooms before departure. The trip continues along the Kohala Coast, offering views of the island’s coastline and the volcanoes Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and the Kohala Mountain. There is a short stop at the Kohala Zipline retail store, where restrooms are also available. The main part of the tour is a four-hour Kohala Waterfalls Adventure that includes hiking on easy trails through a private nature preserve and a restored ancient Hawaiian agricultural site. Participants will see several waterfalls, with the option to swim beneath one of the cascades. Lunch is served at a private picnic area overlooking the Mokulanikila valley. The guide provides information about the region's natural landscape, lava flows, and Hawaii's countryside history, including old sugar plantations and local legends. Walking sticks, daypacks, rain gear, bottled water, and lunch are included. Transport between central meeting locations is provided, and the tour group is limited to a maximum of 10 people per van.
