Pinzgauer Kona Coffee & Craters Adventure with Hawaii Forest and Trail
On the slopes of Hualalai lies the world famous Kona Coffee Belt. Nourished by rich volcanic soil and afternoon showers, this region produces some of the best and most sought after coffee in the world. This fun and exciting half-day exploration begins in our 6 x 6 Pinzgauer. On these Big Island PinzTrek Adventures we will journey from sea-level through a dense rainforest to a world of volcanic majesty at the 6,000 ft. elevation on the privately owned lands of Kaupulehu. Explore the volcanic and royal history of the area. These seldom-visited uplands are seemingly geologic light-years away. Our rock-rambling Big Island tours will take you through a beautiful and surreal landscape of lava flows, native dryland forest, and stunning craters. Your friendly guide will also lead you, on foot, on an exploration through an impressive lava tube. After exploring the area’s volcanic features we will sample some of Kona’s finest at a local working coffee farm. Learn how bright red coffee cherries are hand-picked, sorted and processed to ensure the highest quality. If you have wondered what makes Kona Coffee so special then the Kona Coffee & Craters Adventure is for you! This is one of the best Big Island Activities Hawaii activities to reserve for you Hawaiian Vacation.
On the exciting Kona Coffee and Craters Adventure you will learn the story of Kona Coffee and what makes it so unique. At the end of this Hawaii Forest and Trail tour guests will understand how Kona’s climate and geology contribute to Kona Coffee’s one of a kind flavor and aroma
