Overview

This small-group day trip from Kona lasts about 8 to 9 hours and includes hotel or airport pickup and drop-off in Kona. The tour travels by private vehicle along the Big Island’s Hamakua Coast and through diverse landscapes near Mauna Kea and Kilauea volcanoes. After pickup at the accommodation in Kona, the route follows Highway 19, passing through Waimea. The drive continues along the eastern side of Mauna Kea, known as the Hamakua Coast, with a stop at Laupahoehoe to view the ocean’s carved cliffs. Next, the tour visits Akaka Falls to see the waterfall surrounded by rainforest. A picnic lunch is provided during the trip. After lunch, the tour proceeds toward Hilo via scenic backroads that wind through jungle gorges and offer ocean views. The final stop is Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at Kilauea volcano. Visitors have time to look into Kilauea’s summit caldera, drive along the east rift zone on Chain of Craters Road, and observe both recent and older lava flows. Bottled water and snacks are included. The tour operates in all weather conditions, and participants should wear closed-toe shoes. Group size is limited to six people, with at least two required for shared bookings or one for exclusive bookings. Gratuities and dinner are not included.
