Itinerary
Start your day by departing from Hilo on the Big Island's east side and head to the famous Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, a prime nesting site for green sea turtles, where you can observe these majestic creatures resting on shore. Next, take a local shuttle to the stunning Papakolea Green Sand Beach, one of only two green sand beaches in the world. Its striking olive-colored shores, formed by volcanic minerals, resemble a vast matcha mousse, with glittering sand grains like emerald gems. Continue to South Point (Ka Lae), the southernmost tip of the U.S., where dramatic cliffs meet the endless Pacific Ocean-thrilling cliff jumps attract adventurers worldwide. Then, visit a local coffee farm to taste Kona’s unique volcanic-grown coffee. End your day on the west coast, strolling along the golden shores of Ali'i Drive in Kona, where live Hawaiian music and ocean breezes create the perfect sunset ambiance.
Hilo, HI
Hilo is the largest city, census-designated place (CDP), and settlement in Hawaii County, Hawaii, which encompasses the Island of Hawai'i. Hilo is the county seat of the County of Hawai'i and is located in the District of South Hilo.
Punalu'u Beach
Punalu'u Beach also called Black Sand Beach located between Pahala and Na'alehu on the Big Island of Hawaii. The beach has black sand made of basalt and created by lava flowing into the ocean which explodes as it reaches the ocean and cools.
Green Sand Beach
Green sand beach is officially known as Papakolea. The beach itself is carved in a 49.000 years old cinder cone belonging to the Mauna Loa volcano that contains the green crystals (olivines) that give the beach its name. It's one of the once in a lifetime places to visit on the Big Island.
South Point
As the southernmost point of the entire USA, South Point boasts dramatic sea cliffs, raging Pacific waves, and a legendary cliff-jumping tradition.
Kona (Big Island), HI
This district on the Big Island of Hawaii is home to several nation and state historical parks at places like Kealakekua Bay. Kona is also famous for its special Kona coffee and being the host of the Ironman contest.
