Turn
the clock back a thousand years on our Hummer Safari into the ancient
rain forests and historical sites of old Hawaii... untouched by time,
unspoiled by man. Local guides take you deep into this otherwise inaccessible
Kohala refuge where the only sounds are water splashing into a hidden
pond and perhaps the wind whispering your name.
The H-1 Hummers comfortably navigate the spectacular but rugged terrain
of the rainforest in the Kohala Mountain Range, on the northern tip of
the Big Island. This area is totally inaccessible to the public. The trip
goes from 200 ft. to 2300 ft. elevation, and features several scenic waterfalls,
pristine riverbeds and ravines. Our local guides are well versed in the
extensive historical and cultural background of the area, as well as the
flora and fauna of the rainforest. At several points on the trip there
are spectacular panoramic coastal views. There is a stop for beverages
and snacks where guests may swim in an exclusive hidden waterfall pool.
Since this is a wilderness activity, appropriate footwear and attire is
essential. A typical day in the Kohala Mountains is sunny with scattered
clouds and occasional showers. As with all mountain areas in Hawaii, the
weather is constantly changing. The elevation is between 500 and 2000
feet above sea level.

Monday - Saturday. Closed on Sundays and Christmas Day. Please wear hiking
footwear and attire, swim shorts, hat and sunglasses. Please bring a windbreaker,
