Best of Kona Shore Excursion

A private 5-hour shore excursion for cruise ship guests docked in Kona, showcasing the best of the Kona Coast — world-famous coffee, green sea turtles, one of the country's top-rated beaches, and locally grown macadamia nuts.

Your naturalist guide picks you up at the Kona cruise ship pier and takes you on a scenic drive through historic downtown Kailua-Kona. First stop is Greenwell Farms, a 5th-generation Kona coffee farm established in the 1850s, where you'll tour the lush coffee fields and sample freshly brewed varieties. At Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, look for green sea turtles basking on the shore and explore ancient Hawaiian fishponds and petroglyphs.

Visit the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Factory to taste flavored macadamia nuts from savory garlic to chocolate-covered varieties. Then relax at Hapuna State Beach, one of the world's best beaches, with its pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters — perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply taking in the ocean views.

Everything is included — park admissions, snacks, all beverages, Patagonia rain jacket, Nikon binoculars, hiking poles, and 20-25 professionally edited photos. Private Mercedes van for up to 7 guests. Wheelchairs accommodated if collapsible. Full refund if your ship doesn't make port.
