About the Adventure

Experience the best of Hawaiʻi Island with this fully guided Reef & Rainforest adventure. Your day begins on land with a scenic drive along the historic Onomea Four Mile Road and the lush Hāmākua Coast, featuring dramatic ocean views, jungle landscapes, and hidden coastline lookouts.

You’ll visit ʻAkaka Falls State Park, where admission is included and a paved but moderately strenuous loop trail leads through tropical rainforest to one of Hawaiʻi’s most iconic waterfalls. This portion of the tour is not just a quick stroll, guests should be prepared for steady walking, stairs, and uneven terrain over the course of the day.

Along the way back, we’ll also stop at Mana’s Aloha Farms Fruit Stand to sample and purchase fresh tropical fruits while enjoying local flavors and scenery.

After exploring the rainforest, we head to the coast for a guided beach snorkel in an area known for frequent Hawaiian green sea turtle sightings. Following a full safety briefing and gear setup, you’ll enter the ocean from shore and explore coral reefs, lava rock formations, and tropical fish in a real ocean environment. This experience blends scenic exploration, physical activity, and ocean adventure into one unforgettable day.
