MIEXIA was referred to my friend and I by another driver that was unable to accommodate us due to time constraints. We assumed Miexia would be priced out of our league as his vehicle was a nice Mercedes van clearly able to handle large groups. Not only was he reasonably priced, he proceeded to give two senior ladies with challenges a tour of Kona that left us feeling as if we had found a new home with built in family. We saw the Big Island’s sunny side with highlights of local businesses, a coffee farm, chocolatier, and parfumerie. We not only had a tour we both left Kona with a new friend. As a side note,, I left my phone in the van, MIEXIA moved heaven, earth, and NCL to get it back to me before the ship left. Sincerely service with true compassion.

Valley Of The Temples Memorial Park & Crematory
Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, our famous Oahu island tour is the ultimate way to soak up all the beauty and culture of Hawaii in just one day. After picking up from the Waikiki hotel assigned points, you are ready to be on the way to the north shore coast of Oahu. Driving through Koolau Ranch, your first stop will be at the Valley of Temples. Built in 1968, Byodo-In Temple was made without nails and landscaped the Japanese garden complex with extreme attention to its details. It has been featured in the TV series Hawaii Hive-O, Magnum P.I., Lost and the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor.
Kualoa Regional Park
Standing in Kualoa Regional Park on Windaward Coast, you will experience a basalt islet in Kaneoha Bay with a shape of Chinaman’s Hat on one side, and magnificent mountains on the other. According to Hawaiian mythology, the island is formed from the remains of giant lizard or dragon’s tail that was chopped off and tossed to the ocean.
Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)
The next stop is Tropical Farms of Hawaii. It is a little country store on the way to the North Shore. Here you will not only learn about the growth process and knowledge of macadamia nuts, but also sample the popular macadamia nuts and Kona coffee.
Kahuku Farms
