Rise and Shine! Get up early today and be at the Kohala Coast by 7:30am for a Whale Watching Tour! This tour is a 2.5 hour boat ride/cruise on the sea to spot some whales of Kohala! It should end at 10:00 am, so from 10:00am to 1:00pm, stay at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel Reef Lounge to relax and have lunch!

At 1pm, leave the hotel and drive to Holualoa Town

Your first stop is the Kona Coffee Company where you will be joining a FREE tour of the farm! It also includes a FREE Coffee Tasting of 100% Kona Coffee!, one of the most expensive coffees in the world! It is only grown in Kona because the weather of sunny mornings, cloud or rain in the afternoon, little wind, and mild nights combined with porous, mineral-rich volcanic soil create favorable coffee growing conditions.

At 2pm you have another farm tour, just beside the Coffee Farm. You will be going to Original Hawaiian Chocolate Holualoa! For just $15, you will be given a guided tour of the chocolate farm which includes Chocolate Tasting!

Go ahead and buy some coffee and chocolate from the farms you visited so you could take them home with you and maybe even give some to your family and friends as pasalubong!

Use the rest of the afternoon to explore the other shops in Holualoa Town. Buy a ukelele at Holualoa Ukelele Museum, and buy some local snacks at Keauhou Store!
