Robert rocks!

Loved the Historical Kona, Coffee & Turtles tour! Great mix of local history, Kona coffee tastings, and relaxing beach stops—we even spotted giant green sea turtles! Our guide Robert was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole day felt easy and well paced. Highly recommend if you want a little bit of everything in Kona.
