Overview

Join our captivating exploration of the Big Island's lush, windward side in BIG HAWAII TOURS' luxury, small-group van. During active eruptions, you'll witness the mighty Kīlauea - the world’s most active volcano. But on dormant days, we'll skip the long drive to the crowded park to enjoy black sand coastlines and unique lava formations hidden from most tourists. We'll also explore cavernous lava tubes, majestic waterfalls, and tropical jungles and savor locally-raised macadamia nuts/sweets.

Our BIG HAWAII TOURS are daily curated to maximize visitors/cruise passengers limited time in Hilo. This 5.5-hour morning tour has no strenuous hikes, and can be bundled with our BIG HAWAII TOURS afternoon TROPICAL ESCAPE for a full, memorable day with guaranteed "all-aboard" for cruisers.

- Volcanic lava formations/tubes and tropical waterfalls
- Black-sand/lava-cliff coasts (non-eruption days)
- Daily-tailored itinerary
- Suitable for all fitness levels

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
