Overview

Join our captivating exploration of the Big Island's lush, windward side in BIG HAWAII TOURS' luxury, small-group van. During active eruptions, you'll witness the mighty Kīlauea - the world’s most active volcano. But on dormant days, we'll skip the long drive to the crowded park to enjoy black sand coastlines and unique lava formations hidden from most tourists. We'll also explore cavernous lava tubes, majestic waterfalls, and tropical jungles and savor locally-raised macadamia nuts/sweets.

Our BIG HAWAII TOURS are daily curated to maximize visitors/cruise passengers limited time in Hilo. This 5.5-hour morning tour has no strenuous hikes, and can be bundled with our BIG HAWAII TOURS afternoon TROPICAL ESCAPE for a full, memorable day with guaranteed "all-aboard" for cruisers.

- Volcanic lava formations/tubes and tropical waterfalls
- Black-sand/lava-cliff coasts (non-eruption days)
- Daily-tailored itinerary
- Suitable for all fitness levels

  • Lili'uokalani Gardens
    Take-in the tropical beauty of this ocean-side Japanese garden and take a quick picture of Hilo Town across the harbor with Mauna Kea staring down from it's 14,000 foot elevation.
  • Boiling Pots
    We will catch a couple picturesque waterfalls as we explore the lush, green windward side of the Big Island.
  • Rainbow Falls
    This beautiful waterfall is usually one of our first stops, depending on traffic and weather.
  • Kaumana Caves Park
    On days the Kilaeau is dormant, we will avoid the long drive to the crowded Nat'l Park and experience more peaceful but equally "volcanic" wonders, including this off-the-beaten path lava tube surrounded by lush jungle (does have steep steps down into the lava tube, so less adventurous travelers can enjoy the view from the top).
  • On dormant volcano days, travelers will get to see the unique "lava trees" caused by a fast-moving lava flow, adding to the "volcanic experience" of our tour.
  • See what a massive volcanic fissure in 2018 did to a residential neighborhood. A good reminder that the Big Island continues to add to its mass through fire and molten lava. (pass by)
  • Isaac Hale Beach Park
    Black sand beach with natural thermal heated pools. See how the lava flow reached the ocean, eventually creating black sand beaches.
  • Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
    On days that Kilauea is erupting with Pele's wrath, we will prioritize heading straight to the Nat'l Park. On dormant days, we will save the long drive to the crowded park and experience the impact of past eruptions, including recent lava flows that took out entire neighborhoods and added to the size of the BIG Island.
  • Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Visitor Center
    Time permitting, you will have the opportunity to enjoy some free samples and possibly purchase a box of two of our favorite, locally raised/packaged macadamia nut sweets.
