Overview
Schedule
Check-in in Kona and Pick-up from Waikoloa & Keaau
After your pick-up, you will head out along the famed Saddle Road which cuts right across the center of the Big Island. With Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on either side, the rugged landscape is the perfect backdrop on your drive as you listen to fascinating facts about the Big Island of Hawaii.
Explore the most unique cavern of Big Island and a picnic made with local fresh ingredients. Visit a large private lava tube known for its bright yellow and gold microbial mats living on the cave walls. This lava tube is only accessible to Hawaii Forest & Trail guests, and exclusive to this tour.
Join your National Park Certified Guide on an easy two to three mile hike to some of the most interesting & beautiful spots in the area. Many of these locations are not visited by other tour companies, and will grant you a glimpse of the unique volcanic areas only found on the Big Island of Hawaii.
When the volcano is erupting, enjoy an after-dark viewing of the glow at Halema'uma‘u caldera. The red glow of the active lava is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can't be missed!
**If the volcano is not erupting on the day of your visit, this part of the tour will not be available.
