Hilo Cruise Day Tours
Overview
Join Hawaii Island Insider Tours for an unforgettable journey through the natural beauty of East Hawaiʻi. This small group excursion visits Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, scenic coastlines, and historic Hilo, showcasing the island's lush rainforests, waterfalls, and local charm.

As a fully licensed and insured Hawaiʻi tour operator, we're committed to providing safe, reliable adventures. Our itinerary is carefully timed for cruise ship guests, ensuring a worry-free return to the Hilo Cruise Port well before your ship departs.
What's Included
- Transportation in a clean, comfortable 2025 Ford Transit (shared small group)
- Photo opportunities at each location
- Akaka Falls State Park admission fee
Meeting and Pickup
Pickup is directly at the cruise ship port in Hilo or at Hilo hotels. Please exit the ship and walk toward the main port entrance, where your driver will be holding a "Hawaii Island Insider Tours" sign near the designated pickup area. While boarding typically begins 30 to 45 minutes before departure, please don't worry if your ship allows passengers off at different times. We closely monitor the ship's arrival and will wait for all booked guests before departing. Whether you disembark at 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM, we make sure every passenger is accounted for so no one gets left behind. If you have any trouble locating us, please call or text us directly. Comfortable walking shoes, water, and sun protection are recommended.
