Major hotels and resorts in Kona and Waikoloa
Along the sun-baked lava fields north of Kailua-Kona, Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park opens onto a landscape that feels genuinely unchanged. Salt air drifts across brackish ponds where Hawaiian coots paddle quietly, and the stone walls of ancient fishponds rise from the water just as they did centuries ago. Kaloko-Honokōhau rewards those who slow down and look carefully at what the land still holds.
Wasabi Tours consistently delivers exceptional Big Island experiences, and it's clear the magic lies with their guides. Kevin, Jason, Chris, Derek, Dreu, and Felix all get glowing mentions for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing Hawaii's culture and history. These aren't just drivers—they're storytellers who bring the island to life, often talking for hours while keeping everyone engaged and entertained. The Grand Circle Island Tour is the main attraction, covering volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, coffee farms, and plenty of photo ops across an action-packed 10-12 hour day. A few practical notes: It's a long day in the van, so bring layers since the AC runs cold. Most travelers find the comprehensive itinerary perfect for getting oriented and deciding what to revisit later, though one person felt some stops were rushed or redundant. One reviewer mentioned a guide who discouraged conversation, which was an outlier among otherwise enthusiastic feedback. The consensus is overwhelmingly positive—this tour gives you maximum sightseeing with minimal driving stress, led by guides who genuinely love what they do.
Make sure you book with Kawika! His love and knowledge for the island made our trip unforgettable! I was lucky enough to ride up front with him and ask many questions that made my jaw drop learning about Hawaiian history!
