An Ethereal Experience

The Kona Cloud Forest tour was the highlight of my entire Norwegian cruise of all the Hawaiian Islands. I quickly realized I was walking through an undisturbed rain forest and began to understand the special, unique connection of these living organisms. It really was an ethereal, other worldly experience.

True taste of Hawaii

Dave was an amazing tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and was willing to customize the tour to match our needs. We were lucky to see many turtles and the Cloud Forest was a spiritual journey. Our guide Anna was well versed in Hawaiian nature and made the experience of a forest interactive. The coffee farm was scenic and we got to pick some fruit!

Wonderful Company To Work With

Ernie was a wonderful guide. First stop was Greenwell Coffee Farm where we learned so much about coffee and enjoyed tasty samples. Then it was on to Keoki's for FRESH fish and chips for lunch. The Painted Church was beautiful and the view was spectacular. The finally - sea turtles! What's not to love? This company is great to work with! Pick up at the cruise ship terminal was easy and we returned in plenty of time for our departure.

Coffee & sea turtles

Our tour was wonderful. First stop at the coffee plantation was very informative. Next we visited the painted church, areas of volcanic rock and finally the sea turtles. My only criticism would be, we didn't have enough time for viewing the amazing sea turtles on the black sand beach. Maybe the optional 1hour extra at the end could be better used for turtles observation.
