Top Sea Turtle and Kona Coffee Tasting Tours on Hawaii’s Big Island

On the western shores of the Big Island, the air is a mix of saltwater mist and the rich, earthy aroma of roasting beans. This is the Kona Coast—a land of ancient history, lush rainforests, and the gentle giants of the sea.



To truly experience the soul of Kona, travelers trust C Big Island to lead the way through the Kona Coffee & Sea Turtles Tour.

The Journey: From Sacred Sands to High-Altitude Harvests

Your day begins at the bustling Kailua-Kona Pier. As you step off your ship’s tender, you’ll find our guide waiting with the "C Big Island Tours" sign, ready to whisk you away from the crowds and into the heart of Hawaii.


We start by stepping back in time at the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, where the ingenuity of ancient Hawaiian fishponds meets the rugged lava shoreline. It is here—on the sun-drenched stones—that you’ll encounter the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu) basking in the tropical sun.

The C Big Island Highlights:

  • The Honu Encounter: Witness wild sea turtles in their natural habitat at one of the island's most scenic coastal spots.
  • Kona Gold: Visit an authentic Kona Coffee Farm. You won’t just taste the world-renowned brew; you’ll see the production process from bean to cup.
  • The Painted Church: Marvel at the vibrant, floor-to-ceiling frescoes of Saint Benedict’s, a historic gem nestled on the slopes of South Kona.
  • The Rainforest & The Reef: Traverse the lush South Kona Rainforest and sink your toes into a beautiful White Sand Beach.
  • The View from Above: Stop at curated scenic lookouts that offer panoramic views of the turquoise Pacific.
