This full-day bus tour on the Big Island of Hawaii lasts about 11 hours and covers several key natural and cultural sites. It starts with a visit to Greenwell Farms, where you’ll see how Kona coffee is grown and roasted, and then enjoy a picnic lunch on the plantation’s hills. Next, the tour stops at Punalu'u Bake Shop for a selection of local sweetbreads and malasadas. The tour continues to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, known for its dark volcanic sand and occasional Hawaiian green sea turtle sightings. Afterward, guests have an exclusive lunch at The Rim in Volcano House, overlooking the Kilauea caldera and Halema’uma’u Crater, with live local music accompanying a menu of fresh fish, beef, and island vegetables. More than an hour is then spent exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including a short walk through Thurston Lava Tube. There is a brief stop at Big Island Candies for a break before the final visit to Rainbow Falls, an 80-foot waterfall dropping over a lava cave into the Wailuku River. The tour includes pickup and drop-off from central locations, drinks like hot coffee and cold beverages, snacks, umbrellas, bottled water, binoculars, and a professional guide. Pickup from East Hawaii locations like Hilo or Volcano is not included.
