Description
Experience the raw power and natural beauty of the Big Island on this all-inclusive day trip from Oahu, featuring Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, ‘Akaka Falls, and an optional helicopter tour. With roundtrip interisland airfare included, you can explore the island’s dramatic landscapes without worrying about logistics.
After a short flight to Hilo, your small-group mini coach tour begins at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, home to Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and the recently erupted Mauna Loa. Peer into the depths of Halema‘uma‘u Crater, which doubled in size after the 2018 eruption, dramatically reshaping the island. Feel the heat rising from the Steam Vents, where rainwater seeps into underground lava flows.
Next, walk through Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube), an ancient underground tunnel once filled with molten lava. This fascinating natural formation is surrounded by lush rainforest, providing a glimpse into the island’s volcanic past. Then, take a scenic drive down the Chain of Craters Road, where old lava flows have carved a striking path to the coastline, showcasing how the island continues to evolve.
Midday, enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, surrounded by the island’s unique volcanic landscape.
Next, take in the lush beauty of the Big Island’s Hamakua Coast with a visit to ʻAkaka Falls State Park. Stroll through a tropical rainforest filled with bamboo, orchids, and ferns before arriving at ʻAkaka Falls, a spectacular 442-foot waterfall plunging into a misty gorge below. This breathtaking natural wonder is one of the most iconic and photographed waterfalls in Hawai‘i.
Upgrade Your Experience: Discover Hilo Helicopter Tour
For a once-in-a-lifetime perspective, add a 45-minute helicopter tour over Hawai‘i’s newest landscapes. Witness active volcanic craters, vast lava fields, and rugged black-sand beaches formed by recent eruptions. Fly over cascading waterfalls hidden deep in the Big Island’s lush rainforests, and marvel at the dramatic contrast between lava flows and tropical greenery.
At the end of your tour, guests will walk back to the Hilo Airport on their own for their return flight to Oahu, carrying with them unforgettable memories of this extraordinary land-and-air adventure.
