Coffee, turtles and peace. - Steve is an excellent driver and guide. The pleasant places we saw were as described and more cozy due to the smaller group size. I didn’t feel like part of a tourist cattle drive. I enjoyed the place we stopped for lunch and I felt like a local for a few hours.

Coffee and Turtles - The tour was great it was our second trip to a coffee farm this one being much smaller however they really are passionate about their product . The guide on the farm explained each process and it was really hands on. The turtles were shy that day but we did see 2. kuodos to our tour guide who parked so the trek down the beach was not that far

Great guide and a great tour - Edmund was a great tour guide, he really adds his own local knowledge to the tour. There is so much to see, and I wasn't expecting the coffee tour to be terribly interesting but it really was. Highly recommneded

Fantastic Tour with Steve - We had a wonderful time with Steve as our tour guide. We went a beautiful coffee plantation Bayview Farm and had a tour of how coffee is grown and processed. We were able to have tastings of their coffee. We then went to the painted church which was very near the coffee farm. Gorgeous old wooden church built in the 1800s and still used today for worship . The tour then stopped for lunch at Honaunau Poke for poke bowls and pulled pork and rice. We then went to a National Park and then down a path to see juvenile sea turtles feeding. Great trip and Kona is a beautiful city on the Big Island .

Great Day in Kona - Our guide/driver Steve brought life to our excursion. The facts and information he shared made the tour interesting and entertaining. The visit to Bayview Coffee was great. The tour and delicious samples were well worth the visit. The Painted Church was charming and beautiful. The lunch stop at Grindz was wonderful. The Historic Kona Coffee stop was most interesting with the lava tube. The beach where we saw several Hawaiian Sea Turtles was the perfect end of a perfect day. Well done Steve and Viatour.

Don’t do it. - The driver was great. The tour was not good. The description said opportunity to snorkel and shop. There was not. The lunch was great but we had to pay for it separately. The Kona coffee was a small worn down farm.
