Hop aboard! This Grand Circle-island narrated tour of Hawaiʻi’s biggest consecutive land mass ensures you will not miss a thing! The day begins with an easy morning pickup at hotels and resorts along the Kona coast. As we begin our drive along the beautiful coastline, sit back and enjoy the scenery as volcanic views pass by your window. We will make our way to the Big Islandʻs many cultural, historic, scenic, and gourmet sites.
No trip to the Big Island is complete without a stop for some Kona coffee! Learn the history behind the bean-growing and roasting process that goes into every cup. Get your caffeine fix on site, then take a bag of beans home for a taste of the islands in your own kitchen.
Indulge your senses with flavors of world famous Kona coffee and crunch into Hawaii’s famous, locally grown macadamia nuts. We will experience all the flavors of the island throughout the day. We stop at the coffee farm for a wonderful continental breakfast.
Sea turtles and visitors alike are drawn to the magic appeal of this black-sand beach. A standout from the typical white sands of Hawaiian beaches, the dark, sandy grains of lava-turned-sand have brought fame to this small stretch of coastline.
See the volcano in its entirety – from the educational reaches of the visitors’ center where you are invited to take an in-depth look at the geology and of the volcano, to the hot steam arising from the vents where groundwater and the volcano’s hot temperature converge, to the Volcano House with its prominent crater views and delicious dining options. This exploration of the volcano leaves no (lava) stone unturned.
Your guide, on this small group tour has flexibility to take you where you want to help fulfill a caffeine fix or if you got a sweet tooth? Try the world-renowned Macadamia Nut Shortbread cookies and other locally-made sweet treats from a historical Hawaiian bakery, a fun candy shop or a producing macadamia nut factory.
Located in Hilo Town in Wailoa State Park, the 14-foot statue is an ode to the great unifier of the islands, King Kamehameha.
Marked with a placard, Shinmachi Tsunami Memorial commemorates those who have lost their lives in tidal waves that have struck the shores of Hilo.
Earning its name from the rainbows that appear in its mist, this 80-foot waterfall flows year-round. Fresh mountain water cascades over the cliff, beyond a lava cave, splashing into the pools below.
We see the length of the spectacular Hamakua coast right up to where the road ends at the incredible overlook of Waipio Valley. This sacred spot has been home to generations of Hawaiians of high-regard and the stories that come out of this place are truly special. Learn more about this from your guide, and maybe even spot some super tall coastal waterfalls too!
See Volcanoes, Craters & Old Lava Flows Too!
