Kona Tour: Bee Farm, Kona Coffee, and National Historical Parks

Such a great tour. Our tour guide, Mia, was amazing. She made the tour special by sharing her knowledge of the island with us.

Tour guide Mia did an awesome job. Pick up was on time and we had a great group of 6 people. Very informative. We learned about local island history, culture and traditions. Coffee plantation and bee farm were particularly interesting. So much to learn about this spectacular biosphere. Great job Mia!

We had the pleasure of touring with Wasabi Tours for two full days while sailing on the Celebrity Edge, which had two port stops on the Big Island. As a group of friends in our 70s, we were looking for a comfortable, informative, and enjoyable way to experience the island—and Wasabi Tours exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Derek Stuart, was outstanding. He greeted us each morning just outside the cruise terminal, making everything easy and stress-free from the start. We traveled in a spacious, comfortable van, and Derek’s microphone allowed everyone to hear his fascinating stories and insights about the island, no matter where they were seated. Over the two days, we visited incredible sites including Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, beautiful waterfalls, a bee farm, a Kona coffee farm, and many other scenic and interesting stops. Every destination offered breathtaking views and memorable experiences. Unfortunately, I had strained my knee while traveling to Hawaii, but Derek went above and beyond to make the tour as enjoyable as possible. He always found the closest drop-off points so I had less walking to do, and his kindness and thoughtfulness were greatly appreciated. The tours included bottled water throughout the day and a delicious lunch of chicken, rice, and chips. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to provide two different lunch options for guests taking back-to-back tours. The meal was very good—we just would have enjoyed a little variety on the second day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience! Derek was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and truly made our visit to the Big Island special. We highly recommend Wasabi Tours and especially Derek as your guide. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable way to explore the Big Island, you won’t be disappointed! 🌺🌋☕

We went on the One-Day Neighbor Island Tour, from Oahu to Big Island It was amazing! Yes, it was a full day from 6am to 8pm but it was well worth it because of our driver Henry! So professional, friendly, energetic, and very knowledgeable. I love when he tells stories about the Hawaii legends, you just wanna hear more! Too bad the Volcano wasn't active, but it was still incredible to see in person. We learned so much more about the island and we took so many beautiful pictures. Highly recommended if you don't want to stay overnight but want to see everything what Big Island offers, this is perfect! ☺

My family and I booked with Wasabi and our guide Derek was great! Derek picked us up at the meeting point and off we went. We started out at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park and wish we could have stayed longer, it was that good. We had opportunities to visit a local bee farm the honey is outstanding and sent some home. The same for the local coffee farm, it was good and sent some home. We wrapped up at Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park and it was fantastic. Big thanks to Wasabi Tours and Derek for making Kona a great place on our stay. Thank you, Michael

Amazing time miexia was so great very easy to talk to and so knowledgeable. We were concerned that we would get cancelled due to the number of people on the tour but we didn't and it was just us! The historical sites are amazing and easy to walk to. The coffee farm the ladies are so sweet and the coffee was amazing The big island bee farm was definitely the highlight hopefully you will have Joe because he is not only hilarious but also so knowledgeable about bees and native plants in the islands and states to help native bees

We had an amazing tour with Miexia. We got lucky and ended up being the only two on this tour and it could not have gone better. The tour was relaxing informative and super fun. Miexia was the best guide and we had an excellent experience thanks to him.

Excellent tour! Guide was amazing! Knowledge,friendly, and full of energy. Highly recommend. If you are looking to see the main attractions of the big island

What a fun experience!!!!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and it’s was fantastic. The only thing was that apparently the rules at where we were supposed to see the petroglyphs must have changed because the park ranger would not show us where the petroglyphs are. When I let the company know about it, they had great customer service and gave me a partial refund of the tour. This company is made of great people and they gave us great times. I would do it again!

Unfortunately we were unable to complete this tour due the Pride of America cruise ship canceling the port call on the scheduled day. We were on the tender boat at the pier in Kona when the ship canceled the port call due to high swells and called the tender back to the ship. We were deeply disappointed as we were looking forward to the experiences offered by this tour. I contacted the tour operator immediately to explain the situation. While I completely understand the operator's refund policy this cancelation was totally beyond our control. We were given a small refund but were charged for the majority of the tour which was not provided for five adults. Use caution when booking with Viator and this operator as there will be no consideration for circumstances beyond the traveler's control. While i always prefer to book shore excursions separate from the cruise line offerings I was burnt on this one. In contrast, the ship offered full refunds for all excursions booked through them for this missed port. Overall, an unfortunate circumstance in Kona.
