Volcano Adventure Tour Features

Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park

Visit Hawai’i Volcano National Park with an expert, local guide to take you to the most worthwhile stops and views. Stops include a lava tube that you can walk through, many overlooks, and short hikes, as well as the Volcano House where you can purchase souvenirs. We will then travel a short distance down the Chain of Craters road, making stops along the way.

During eruptions we will make adjustments to the itinerary depending on where lava is visible, including changing pickup times for the best views that day. So, if you are in the area during an eruption, be sure sign up here so you can see it from all the best vantage points.

Historic Hilo and Culturally Important Sites

A must-see is Queen Lili‘uokalani Gardens – you will marvel at the beauty of the largest Japanese-style gardens outside of Tokyo. We will visit the original King Kamehameha Statue in the park and check out some of the sites in the historical downtown section. There are plenty of stories to tell and your guide will keep you entertained with historical knowledge, legends and more.

Banyans, Beaches, and Waterfalls

The area around Hilo is filled with tropical beauty. The daily rain makes this area a complete opposite to the Kona area on the same Big Island, and you will see that difference. The world as seen from this beautiful area is filled with cascading waterfalls and the lush greenery of life.

This tour will make stops for beautiful waterfalls, flowers, and overlooks around the Hilo area. The scenery here is rich and can be overwhelming to the uninitiated. So, let us take you to the best spots, where you can see the best of the island in one trip. Our route includes stops at a black sand beach and Rainbow Falls.

Feel The Awesome Power of Madame Pele

Listen as your Certified Guide “talks story” and shares the legends of Hawai‘i’s most revered goddess, Madame Pele. As the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire, she is known as “She who shapes the sacred land.” Pele has added more than 70 acres of new land to the island's southeastern coast since 1983. As you stand at the crater's edge, you will feel the heat coming from steam vents and look into the crater where, if you’re lucky, you can see lava coming through the surface.
