We're not the most accessible tour on the
island, but theres a reason our customers keep coming back time
after time. Po'hoiki Bay also known as Isaac Hale Beach park is
located on the East side of the Big Island. Your adventures starts
on the way to the boat ramp you'll find yourself winding down the
highway through giant Albeezia & Mango trees that create a canopy
over the highway past Lava Tree State Park and finally arriving
at the boat ramp.
Aloha & Welcome
We look forward to showing you a first rate
ocean adventure you'll never forget here on the South Eastside of
the Big Island. Once underway we'll head South toward Volcanoes
National Park.
All aboard!
Our goal is to give you a lava experience like no other. After a
quick safety briefing from the crew we're underway. From the get
go this is an exciting adventure tour not intenteded for those that
are faint of heart. As we pull out of the boat ramp we'll pass surfers,
surfing the famous waves here at Po'hoiki
Bay. Our first stop along the way is MacKensie
State Park a popular local hangout and fishing area best
noted for its giant fish including Uluas. Along the coast there
are numerous black sand beaches including Kehena
Beach. Foxes Beach, and Kalapana/Kaimu Beach which has returned
since its destruction in the mid 80's. During most of the trip you
can look up the mountain where the volcano continues to puff out
volcanic Vog. Just outside Kalapana is the Cave
of Refuge, once a shelter for women & children during
warfare. As the tropical vegitation turns to frozen flows we enter
the freshly lava covered coastline of Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park. This area shows the remains from
the various flows that touched the sea. Regular bench break offs
which once triggered, avalanche into the depths below leave amazing
cross sections of cooling lava and lava tubes scattered along the
cliffs left behind. Drips and lava sculptures blanket the coastline.
A once in a lifetime journey to the center
of life.
