Excursions

Discover the untamed beauty of Hawaii’s Big Island with immersive adventures that take you off the beaten path. Explore Kulaniapia Falls, where you’ll kayak and take in the majestic waterfall, and end the day with a gourmet dinner by the water. Relax at the Pohoiki Hot Springs, geothermally heated by volcanic activity, and journey along the legendary Red Road, a lush coastal route lined with dramatic cliffs, vibrant greenery, and ocean vistas.

Experience the unique charm of the clothing-optional Kehena Black Sand Beach, where the Sunday drum circle fills the air with rhythm and energy. Dance freely at the Ecstatic Dance at Kalani Retreat Center, swim in secret tide pools, meditate by the surf, or simply soak in the serenity of the island’s iconic landscapes. Each excursion is designed to bring you closer to Hawaii’s natural beauty and rich culture.
