Join us on a rocky ramble up the cool and misty lava-scaped slopes of Hualalai mountain to a hidden world of native beauty. Over 6,000 feet above the Kona coast lie the lands of Kaupulehu, part of the private estate of the Kamehameha royal family and Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
Your six-wheel drive Pinzgauers are fast and fun and carry you from sea-level to the private grounds, where a surreal scene of black lava flows and native dryland forest awaits. See firsthand the geologic forces which created our islands at the heart of Hualalai's 1801 eruption, Ka'upulehu Crater.
With your guide, you will travel to magnificent coastal viewpoints and stunning lava formations, before exploring the mountain by foot. Walk amidst a forest of native birdsong and scramble through a lava tube - Hualalai has it all!
