Description

Uncover the natural beauty and geological wonders of the Big Island on this immersive full-day tour departing from Hilo. Travel through Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, lush tropical rainforests, and stunning coastal landscapes while your expert guide shares fascinating stories about the island’s dynamic past and present.

Begin your journey at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, home to the ever-changing Halema‘uma‘u Crater and the steaming landscapes of Kīlauea, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Feel the volcanic energy as you walk through Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube), an underground tunnel created by flowing lava centuries ago. Continue your exploration with a scenic drive down Chain of Craters Road, where old lava flows meet the rugged coastline, offering breathtaking panoramic views.

Stop for a picnic lunch in the heart of the park before heading to the Hāmākua Coast, a region known for its lush rainforests and towering waterfalls. Visit ʻAkaka Falls, a stunning 442-foot waterfall surrounded by dense tropical foliage, and take in the sights and sounds of this pristine natural wonder.

Next, explore the charming town of Hilo, where history and nature intertwine. Visit the mesmerizing Rainbow Falls, where sunlight creates beautiful rainbows in the mist of the cascading water. Take a leisurely drive down Banyan Drive, where famous figures planted towering banyan trees decades ago. Stroll through Lili‘uokalani Gardens, a beautifully manicured Japanese-style park with scenic bridges, koi ponds, and stunning views of Hilo Bay. Conclude your adventure at a black sand beach, where the contrast of volcanic sand against the Pacific’s deep blue waters makes for an unforgettable final stop.

After a day of discovery, return to your hotel, carrying with you the incredible sights and experiences of this extraordinary island.
