Puna Girl Farm Tours
Secrets of Puna
Climb aboard your SUV tour vehicle for a memorable and exotic adventure to the Puna District, home to the most spectacular volcanic and natural sights on the Big Island. Kilauea Volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983, adding more than 700 acres of new land to the island. This creation comes at a price, and, as you set off on your journey, watch an audio-visual presentation showing footage of the many eruptions. Hear firsthand stories of life in Kalapana from the former residents who witnessed the destruction of their homes just a few years ago! Take a walk across the lava to visit the site of the most beautiful black sand beach in the world, Kaimu, entombed since 1990 under 75 feet of lava. A stop at MacKenzie State Park reveals dramatic cliffs of lava overlooking the brilliant blue waters of the Pacific. Enjoy a delicious Hawaiian-style BBQ lunch prepared by your guide and made from locally sourced produce at a private working macadamia nut and honey farm complete with the complimentary beverage of your choice including chilled French Champagne and cold locally brewed beer. Experience a drive across the alien terrain of black lava fields before heading to a sheltered black lava lagoon. Swim with tropical fish and giant green sea turtles, explore the fascinating coastline, or simply relax along the shore before returning. A breathtaking way to end your adventure to Puna!

Volcano Lava Combo Tour
From dramatic black lava flows and lush native rainforests to the breathtaking sight of the volcano at night, you’ll experience everything that Hawaii Island’s volcanoes have to offer. This popular combination tour is an amazing way to see both personalities of the volcano in one day. Join our Park Ranger-trained guides and make the spectacular Hawaii Volcanoes National Park your daylight destination. The day will start with a scenic drive between the two majestic volcanoes that make up the bulk of Hawaii Island, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. A continental breakfast will be served en route with baked goods and fresh Kona coffee. Continuing to the National Park, let your guide share the unique wonders of the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Hawaii. Enjoy several interpretive walks in the Park including visits to active volcanic craters and steam vents, a walk through the famous Thurston Lava Tube, and a visit to the fascinating Jaggar Museum. The rich history of the Park makes for a fascinating narrative as only our guides can tell it. Leaving the Park behind, we’ll take you on an evening discovery of Kilauea Volcano. We will continue on to the Puna District on the East-side of the Big Island, our home and home to the best lava viewing locations. Your guide will prepare a Hawaiian-style barbecue dinner at our private macadamia nut and honey farm complete with choice of complimentary beverage including sodas, juice and bottled water. Our exploration continues to the heart of the volcano with a scenic drive along the geo-thermally charged Puna Coast to Kalapana where we will take a walk across the lava to visit the site of the most beautiful black sand beach in the world, Kaimu, entombed since 1990 under 75 feet of lava. Entering the lava viewing area, we will drive as close as we safely can before setting off on foot. Look for surface outbreaks and ocean entries while the black, smoking landscape changes right before your eyes as the sun sets. Skylights in the lava tube system and surface flows suddenly glow bright red as the crackle and hiss of escaping gasses and liquid rock changing to solid seems to grow louder as the lava slowly marches to the sea. New land is being created and added to the Big Island right before your eyes, just as these islands have been created for millions of years! The return drive to Kona is along the Hamakua Coast under the cover of darkness.
