Your accommodation
Standing at the edge of the lava-black shoreline in Hōnaunau, you feel the weight of centuries. Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park surrounds you with towering carved ki'i akua, the sound of Pacific waves, and the stillness of sacred ground. This was once a place where kapu-breakers and defeated warriors could find absolution. Today, Pu'uhonua O Honaunau remains one of the most spiritually resonant sites in all of Hawaii.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Experience with Gary! We had the most amazing day on a private tour with Gary from Wild Hawaii Tours! He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely made us feel like we were exploring the island with a wonderful friend. Gary customized our entire day for us, taking us through lava tubes, explored Hilo, local coffee shops, enjoyed shaved ice, soaked up the sun on black sand beaches, explored steam vents, and breathtaking volcano views. The highlight was dinner near the volcano followed by seeing the Milky Way and the incredible glow of active lava—an experience we will never forget! Even the drive back along the south side was filled with fascinating stories, fun facts, and beautiful views. Gary truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. If you are debating booking a tour it is absolutely worth it with Gary! He is an absolute gem and made this the BEST day of our Hawaii trip. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
