Summary: Explore the Big Island safely with the small group Kailani Tours. Travel pro-tip: Prepare for a full day of adventure.

While we love being “spontaneous” during our travels, we’ve recently found that having planned adventure tours booked can enhance the travel experience — regardless of where you travel. And earlier this year, based on a recommendation from the Hilton Grand Vacations Tours & Activities group, we decided to book the Big Island Circle Tour With Kailani Tours.

You may be thinking, why book a tour when you can explore on your own?

For us, this was our honeymoon trip, and we didn’t want to worry about renting a car and assuming the role of “self-navigators,” especially since we had never been to Hawaii before. It was truly about peace of mind and enjoying the journey (read: staying stress-free). As a bonus, we got to experience several Big Island activities (and the entire island) in a day?!

Why Kailani Tours? First, we love recommendations, and this company came highly recommended. Second, we liked that Kailani Tours uses Sprinter Mini-Coaches. The result is the opportunity to enjoy a tour with fewer people. Coming in at a maximum of 13 guests, Kailani Tours provides an ideal way to discover this Pacific gem safely. And let’s not forget the delicious catered breakfast and lunch.

With so many Big Island activities available, it’s hard to choose which is best. However, are our favorites from our adventure tour.

Can you Smell the Coffee?

We LOVE coffee, so when we found out that we’d be visiting two coffee farms, we were ecstatic. I mean, does it get much better than fresh Kona coffee?!

Our first coffee farm stop was Kona Joe Coffee. This place is so unique in the way that they grow their coffee — actually growing their coffee on a trellis. Sound like a familiar technique? That’s right. This is the same method winemakers use with grapes to make wine.

We got a kick out of the fact that two of our favorite things came together full circle — coffee and wine. I never knew that you could even grow coffee this way, and the final product is incredible. It doesn’t hurt that the farm has the most stunning views.

Travel pro-tip: I highly recommend ordering the Estate Trellis Reserve 100% Kona Coffee via French Press. It was a perfect complement to the tasty breakfast that Kailani Tours provided at this stop.
