Trinity Adventures seeks to support local business and has designed their tours to show you places and people outside of the normal tourist spots. You will interact with people and businesses in the local community, be given products and experiences that a "normal tour" will not be able to provide and you will learn about the area and be able to show respect to the land, cultures and the community as a whole, as you feel and experience the "real" Hawaii island. A portion of this tour package goes back into the community each month to repair roads, clean and maintain historic sites.
Make sure to stop while in Kailua-Kona to grab some food and any supplies you may need, plus some To-Go for dinner. Be sure to get on the road by 3pm to navigate the road heading south safely. Arrive your first night and enjoy the rest of your evening by settling into a modern suite, which is centrally located to all your scheduled experiences, and dine under the stars. Tomorrow is a new day...you made it to Hawaii island.
PREPAID MEALS for ALL PACKAGES are from eatries centrally located near your activities and accommodations.
All meals should be a little familiar while having a gentle spin on island cuisine. From pastas to farm fresh vegetables, daily ocean caught fish to grass fed beef, savor all of the eateries that we have selected for you that are not on the "tourist menu", even down to the coffees and teas. We want you to "eat like a local resident."
PREPAID ACCOMMODATIONS for ALL PACKAGES are centrally located near your activities and eateries.
When you are on the road it is very important to feel comfortable, nurtured and able to experience the elegance of a clean, well-kept place to lay your head after a long day. We have hand-picked places that meet our preferences so that, you, as our guest can embrace your journey and not think of anything else.
Go to Baggage Claim if needed or straight to the curb for a rental car shuttle.
Grab some To-Go and Supplies in Kailua-Kona and head SOUTH by 3:00 p.m.
