Mauna Kea Sunset Coastline Cruise + Kohala Waterfalls Adventure

The Mauna Kea Sunset Coastline Cruise + Kohala Waterfalls Adventure package showcases the Big Island’s stunning natural contrasts—from lush green valleys and cascading falls to glowing ocean horizons.

Start your day on the Kohala Waterfalls Adventure, a small-group expedition that blends off-road discovery with gentle hiking through private lands. Your guide leads you across historic ranch roads and ancient lava fields before arriving at a private nature preserve bursting with life. Stroll through the rainforest, cross footbridges, and dip beneath refreshing waterfalls surrounded by lush vegetation. The adventure concludes with a scenic picnic overlooking the dramatic Pololu Valley—a picture-perfect spot to pause and reflect on Hawaii’s timeless beauty.

After your waterfall hike, trade the rainforest for the sea as you head to Kawaihae Harbor for the Mauna Kea Sunset Coastline Cruise. Board the sleek RHIB “Olohana” for a 90-minute journey along the island’s rugged Kohala Coast. Glide past sea cliffs, sea caves, and hidden coves as your captain shares stories of the volcanic landscape and island lore. In winter, keep an eye out for humpback whales breaching offshore; spinner dolphins often join year-round. As the sun sets behind Mauna Kea, the sky transforms into brilliant gold and violet tones—a tranquil finish to your adventure-filled day.

Together, these experiences highlight the Big Island’s dual spirit: wild exploration and peaceful reflection.

Book your Kohala Waterfalls Adventure + Mauna Kea Sunset Coastline Cruise with Tripster today and explore the Big Island’s magic from forest trails to fiery sunsets.
