Description: We start by driving along one of the prettiest coastal roads on the island, close to the ocean and lava cliffs, near tidepools and spots with breathtaking views! 

Our first stop will include an unforgettable location where we will learn about various Hawaiian plants, customs and beliefs. 

Then we mosey on down to the newest black sand beach, created from the 2018 flow and swim in three different geothermal ponds, including one hard to find, picturesque hot spring in the jungle that will not disappoint! These are the ONLY hot ponds on ANY of the Hawaiian islands. It’s well worth any long drive :)There is no lava flow to view, the ponds are heated by the magma underground making natural hot tubs! The springs range from about 99-105 degrees depending on the time of day. 

Time: 4PM

Length: 3 Hours

Price: $125/person, contact us prior to booking a private tour.

Notes: This is the most relaxing of all our tours. However, the ground walking between the 3 hot ponds is not paved or level, it is raw, rugged lava rock. People should only book this tour if they are comfortable walking on such surfaces. You will need some sort of water shoe or sandal that can get wet at the very least. IT IS ROCKY and you do not want to walk from pond to pond in bare feet. If you will be doing a lot of water activities, lava tube exploration, etc. I HIGHLY suggest felt bottom reef shoes. They are only sold on island (you won't find them online, not even on Amazon). Walmart carries them NEXT TO THE LIFE JACKETS (not with the other water shoes!), Hilo Ocean Adventures or J Hara's will also have them usually.

Description: Have you dreamt of swimming with sea turtles? Snorkeling with various fish? Swimming in pacific waters as the vigorous ocean waves crash upon lava rocks not far away? Then this is the experience for you!

We will ocean hop to two different spots where we will swim with wildlife, snorkel, explore, float and enjoy Hawai'i and all her majestic beauty!

While wildlife is certainly on no strict schedule, we are sure to encounter various species throughout the tour. Our hope is always to see turtles, however since it’s wildlife and not a zoo I cannot guarantee anything. What I can guarantee, is that we WILL see beautiful coral, HUGE sea urchins, tons of colorful fish and sea cucumbers. Sometimes we see eel or even octopus! It is a rare occasion that we do not see the Hawaiian honu (turtle), but either way I will teach you about the coral, reef fish, āina and share turtle facts with you!

Please keep in mind, we must stay 10 feet from turtles by law at all times.

The currents can be quite strong which can make swimming harder. Terrain is also rough in some areas. Please be mindful of your limits and comfort level when booking this. If you think you will be slower than others, please book a PRIVATE tour.

Schedule: Typically offered M/W/F/Sat. 

Time: 12pm

Length: 2.5 Hours

Price: $125/person, contact us prior to booking a private tour.

Notes:  You will need some sort of water shoe at the very least. IT IS ROCKY and there are sea urchins. If you will be doing a lot of water activities, lava tube exploration, etc. I HIGHLY suggest felt bottom reef shoes. They are only sold on island (you won't find them online, not even on Amazon). Walmart carries them NEXT TO THE LIFE JACKETS (not with the other water shoes!), Hilo Ocean Adventures or J Hara's will also have them usually. I provide snorkels, masks and wetsuits. I have some sizes of water shoes as well. If you would like fins, please bring your own. We get out of the water and walk sometimes so I prefer to not have fins.

For those that are proficient ocean swimmers looking for more of an adventure, freediving, lava tubes and swim throughs, swims that are further from shore, etc. I can plan a customized experience for a private tour! Contact me for more details.
