Travel south into Kona coffee country for the first stop at Bay View Farm, a working 24-acre coffee farm nestled on the slopes of Mauna Loa Volcano just above beautiful Kealakekua Bay and known for the best Kona coffee since 1984. Here you'll see coffee growing on the trees and learn about the various steps and processes in making coffee, all of which happen right here on the farm. You'll sample 100% Kona Coffee at a gorgeous overlook with stunning views of Kealakekua Bay and the monument to Captain Cook standing on the only sliver of British land in the United States.
Pass through the South Kona and Ka'u Districts for stunning views alternating between stark lava flows and Hawaiian dry forest. Pause briefly at Punalu'u Bake Shop, the southernmost bakery in America.
At picturesque Punalu'u black-sand beach, lined with swaying coconut palms, look for honu (green Hawaiian sea turtles) feeding just offshore or sun-worshipping on the sand.
Next, travel to the crown jewel of the Big Island -- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Visit the Kilauea Visitor Center, the Volcano Art Center, and the Kilauea Iki overlook. Walk along the crater to Nahuku (lava tube) and back, then to Mauna Ulu. The landscape at Mauna Ulu is like no other on Earth, with striking shapes and fascinating colors.
Take a quick break at Volcano House, welcoming guests such as Mark Twain, Jack London, and you to Kilauea since 1864. Enjoy the views or check out the gift shop.
