    Mostly I was disappointed with this trip. If they had told me beforehand more details I probably wouldn’t have gone on this one. I was disappointed with the turtles. They were not out on land and difficult to see in the water. The historic park was small and there was nothing to do but read signs as you walked around a trail. The coffee farm was ok but again there wasn’t much to see. The painted church was small but probably my favorite thing on this tour. The tour bus I was in was very hot. I think I could have found something else to do if I had known more about the details ahead of time.

    The tour starts at Greenwell Coffee Farm which is in the famous Kona coffee belt. We learned all about the process of growing and harvesting the coffee beans while touring the land and then enjoyed samples of different coffees. We visited The Painted Church next which was pretty. We went to Kaloko-Honokohau National Park and saw the volcanic rock fields. We made a stop at the beach in hopes of seeing the green sea turtles. It was high tide so we could only see parts of the shells and their heads when they surfaced for some air. The trail to get to the beach split into two paths. The path to the left was filled with water and required very careful walking along the edge to avoid getting our shoes soaked and the trail to the right was what should have been taken in the first place, but our driver / guide made us first go left and then when we could barely see anything, we walked carefully back to that junction and went to the right, but the tide was just too high. I personally think this beach stop could be eliminated from the tour because seeing the turtles is difficult and unpredictable. More time could be allocated to the other stops instead. Our female guide / driver was also only 3 weeks on the job so she did not provide much narrative because she admittedly said she needed to concentrate on driving.
