Where we give you more history and great photo ops. we spend about 15 minutes there, Then we drive down through an ancient Kiawe forest on a dirt trail, then through a huge lave flow to Paakea Bay where we will spend about 20-30 minutes under the shade tree to eat our lunch/snacks. Then its off to Ka'alualu Bay to see some green sand. We generally spend about 10 minutes there. Also a great photo spot. Then we take you on a cliff drive along the ocean to Pulehua Island where we will hike out onto a peninsula to see green sea turtles and tropical fish. The best photo shot of the tour!
