Big Island North Coast Loop - Waikoloa

The Big Island, North Coast Loop tour is a great way to spend an afternoon. It combines an amazing oceanside drive, fantastic views, then a curvy mountain road on your return. Beginning your journey, you will travel north along the Kohala Coast. On a clear day, you can see the Island of Maui in the distance. As you round the north side of the Island, you will go from the Island's dry side to the wet side and notice the change to tropical plants. Passing through the Town of Hawi (pronounced Ha-Vee) continues to the road's end and the breathtaking Pololu Valley. Travel back to Hawi and explore the shops or grab a bite to eat at one of the various restaurants. When you have about an hour remaining, you will need to head back. From Hawi, you will take the 250 Mountain road. This road has a 3,000 elevation climb and stunning views of the west coast of Big Island. The Polaris Slingshot is a cornering machine making this beautiful drive exciting as well. They feature a bumping Fosgate stereo system, plenty of lockable storage, and are fully waterproof so you can pack a lunch, take a dip in various swimming holes, and have room to bring back your shopping treasures. The fully integrated navigation system allows you to see all the best sites at your own pace. However, you only have 4 hours, so make sure not to stay too long at each location. If you would like a more relaxing ride, you can extend your time to 8 hours for an additional fee.
