About this tour

Trade the cruise ship crowds for a day of white sand, turquoise water, and island flavors on a Kona beach excursion with tastings. Travel north along the Kohala Coast, where dramatic lava fields frame the route and Pu‘ukoholā Heiau offers a glimpse into Hawai‘i’s royal history. Built by King Kamehameha I in the late 1700s, the sacred temple played a role in uniting the Hawaiian Islands.

At Hāmākua Macadamia Nut Company, stretch your legs, sample island-made nuts, see how they’re processed, and browse the gift shop. Then settle in at Hāpuna Beach State Park for about two hours. Your entrance fee is covered, and Tommy Bahama beach chairs plus one umbrella per group of four make it easy to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the shore.

On the scenic drive back toward Kona, pass lava fields from Hualālai and Mauna Loa, including formations less than 200 years old. If time allows, finish with an optional stop at Kona Brewing Company; food and drinks there are at your own expense. Choose this Kona beach excursion for a relaxed mix of coastal scenery, local tastes, and beach time, then make the most of your day ashore.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
