(Kilauea Visitors Center; Halemaʻumaʻu Crater; Steam Vents, Valcano House)
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!
