Drive a Polaris Slingshot along the North Kohala Coast, pause at Pololu Lookout, and explore Hawi at your own pace.

About this tour

Set out from Waikoloa and follow the North Kohala Coast toward the dramatic cliffs and ocean views of Pololu Valley. This 4-hour Big Island North Kohala Coast and Pololu Lookout self-drive tour puts you behind the wheel of a Polaris Slingshot, with a pre-loaded navigation route to guide the way.

Drive through Hawi and continue to Pololu Lookout, where you can pause to admire the valley panorama. On the return, spend time browsing Hawi’s shops or stopping for a meal, then take the scenic Highway 250 Mountain Road back. The Slingshot is yours for the full rental period, so you can explore at your own pace rather than follow a fixed group schedule. Helmets are provided for all riders, and the route is self-guided.
