Account

Our afternoon tour begins with a pickup from your hotel or accommodations in one of our premium Mercedes mini-coaches. After pickup, enjoy the comfortable ride through Kona coffee country, stopping at overlooks and a farm. We'll swing by the Punalu’u Bake Shop for a delicious snack for those looking to fuel up with some quality baked goods. This well-known stop is the southernmost bakery in the United States and is the perfect place to pick up some Hawai‘ian sweet bread, malasadas, or fresh cookies.

Next stop is the Punalu’u Black Sand Beach. If you have never seen a black sand beach before, the contrast with the blue water is sure to be striking. What's even better about this stop are the sea turtles known to swim up and bask in the warm sun. Upon leaving Punalu’u, your guide will take you to the famed Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. The tour covers many of the most well-known stops inside the park, including Kīlauea, Chain of Craters Road, and Halemau’mau Crater. At the Thurston Lava Tube, you will have a chance to stretch your legs as you are guided down the trail which is a 0.4-mile loop that will take you and your party through Nāhuku which is an expansive 500-year-old lava cave.

In the late afternoon, it will be time to head out of the park to check out Hilo while there is still some light. We will check out some sites and enjoy a wonderful dinner in town. Before heading back to your accommodations in Kona, we will stop high above, and beyond the clouds to take in some amazing stargazing. You will love your tour day, (especially because you got to sleep in).

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do I Need To Wear?

For all tours, we recommend comfortable walking shoes. For hiking tours, ankle support is important but not necessary. You’re welcome to wear slippers (flip-flops) for comfort, but sneakers are really the way to go without worry. We cannot swim on tour at the beach or in a waterfall, so a towel is unnecessary. However, you can bring a towel if you dip your toes at the black sand beach.
Can I Bring A Drone?

While cameras are welcome, drones are prohibited in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Do You Accommodate Wheelchairs?

We do! Although we don’t have a lift for fixed wheelchairs, we have storage for collapsible wheelchairs only. We may be able to make further accommodations for private tours. Please call for details.
Will I See Lava Flowing?

An active lava flow is, unfortunately, never guaranteed. Visitors can usually view some lava flow close to lava viewing access points.
