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!

Unfortunate weather - My wife and I recently went on the ATV tour but unfortunately for us, the weather was pretty horrible. It rained fairly heavily for a long portion of the tour. It was fun riding the ATV and the scenery as we approached the shoreline was fantastic, though. Our guide did a good job explaining some of the history of the area and pointed out some interesting things such as the plants and lava tubes. I think we would have enjoyed it much more if the weather cooperated, but we can't blame the tour on that.
