Discover the extraordinary landscapes of the Big Island on a 5 & 1/2 hour small-group tour exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the highlights of Hilo. Travelling with an expert guide, you will journey through historic plantation towns before arriving at one of the world’s most fascinating volcanic regions. At the park, witness the dramatic scenery of Kilauea Volcano and the impressive Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, where you’ll learn about the powerful forces that continue to shape the island. Experience the geothermal activity of the area with stops at steaming vents and other remarkable volcanic formations, then travel along the scenic Chain of Craters Road, where vast fields of hardened lava reveal the island’s fiery past. A short walk through lush rainforest leads to Nahuku, also known as the Thurston Lava Tube, where you can explore a remarkable underground tunnel formed by flowing lava centuries ago.
Beyond the volcano, the tour showcases some of Hilo’s most picturesque sights. Admire the cascading waters of Rainbow Falls, one of the region’s most photographed natural landmarks, and take time to wander through the tranquil Liliʻuokalani Gardens overlooking Hilo Bay. You will also stop at Big Island Candies to sample delicious handmade chocolates, macadamia nuts, and locally grown coffee. Travelling with a maximum of 12 guests ensures a more personalised and relaxed experience. National park admission, transportation, snacks, and bottled water are included.
