From Oahu: Big Island Volcano Adventure

From Oahu: Big Island Volcano Adventure

Discover the dramatic landscapes and rich volcanic history of the Big Island on this immersive full-day tour. After a short flight from Oahu to Hilo, your expert guide will lead you on an unforgettable journey through Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, lush rainforests, and cascading waterfalls, sharing fascinating insights into the island’s unique geology and culture. Your adventure begins at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, home to the legendary Kīlauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Stand at the edge of Halema‘uma‘u Crater, a massive caldera that continues to reshape itself after the 2018 eruption. Feel the heat rising from the Steam Vents, where groundwater meets underground lava flows. Step into history as you walk through Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube), an ancient underground tunnel once filled with flowing lava, surrounded by a lush rainforest canopy. Next, take a scenic drive along Chain of Craters Road, where lava fields stretch toward the ocean, showcasing the island’s ever-changing volcanic terrain. Along the way, witness dramatic sea cliffs, old lava flows, and breathtaking coastal viewpoints. After a picnic lunch in the park, continue to the stunning Hāmākua Coast. Walk through a lush rainforest filled with bamboo, orchids, and ferns at ʻAkaka Falls State Park, where a 442-foot waterfall plunges into a misty gorge. This breathtaking natural wonder is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Hawai‘i. Your journey continues in Hilo Town, where you’ll visit the picturesque Rainbow Falls, named for the colorful mist that appears in the morning sunlight. Drive along historic Banyan Drive, lined with towering trees planted by celebrities, and explore the serene Lili‘uokalani Gardens, a beautifully landscaped Japanese-style park with stunning views of Hilo Bay. Conclude your day at a black sand beach, where the island’s volcanic origins are on full display as waves crash against the jet-black shoreline. After a full day of exploration, return to Hilo Airport for your short flight back to Oahu, bringing home incredible memories of the Big Island’s breathtaking landscapes.

Hotel pickup, flight, and tour were very well organized. Unfortunately, the volcano was quiet, but that's not the tour operator's fault. It was a long day from Oahu to Big Island and back, but it was worth it.
