Additional Information
Welcome to the very tip of the USA’s Southern boundary! Our journey will whisk you away to untouched corners that even locals have yet to discover. This is genuine, unexplored Hawaii. The Southpoint region was the first landing point for Hawaiians on the Big Island. It’s charming, balmy, radiant and occasionally breezy. You’ll traverse jagged lava terrains and grass-laden expanses, through age-old Kiawe woods teeming with the endemic fauna and flora of The Big Island. Stunning turquoise seacoasts with wave crashes that call for unforgettable photographs, particularly when the surf is high! If you’re journeying in the winter, you might just spot a whale or two. Gaze from rugged lava precipices into Shark Bay and witness vibrant tropical fish and emerald sea turtles. We also cater to private family tours so make sure to reserve in advance so we have room for you and your loved ones. Absorb some SUN and revel in FUN! Let’s embark on this journey!

Great excursion with a wonderful company! - Had a great time on this ATV tour. Our guide was very helpful and showed us some great things we couldn’t have seen by car. The ATV’s were top notch, easy to operate, and my family had an awesome time. Well worth the money!

Great ATV ride! - Vicki was fantastic! She led us on a 3 hr tour including some really great views, a spot to see the resident parrot fish and turtles, had some tidbits of knowledge about local plants, lava tubes, and volcanic activity. Plenty of fun rough riding, nice trail thru the trees, plus space to zoom a little. We loved this activity! Highly recommend Vicki and her business! (The ATVs were new, very well maintained, as were the other equipment like helmets, goggles, etc.)

A tremendous ATV experience on the BIg Island - Vicki, our guide, was excellent. She was informative, attentive and wanted to make sure that my wife and I had an enjoyable and memorable experience. We loved riding the ATV and saw and did things we would have experienced otherwise. The views we saw along our ride were exhilarating. We highly recommend this tour.

ATV tour - It was kinda hard to find and there wasn't any bathrooms but Vickie was very accommodating when our plans changed suddenly and she took us to some really great spots. Great photo opportunities in secluded areas.
