.
Horseback Riding Tours
The Big Island has been home to many different ranches over the past two centuries of the Hawaiian paniolo tradition. Tour these beautiful ranches with their gently sloping hills and lush greenery from atop your very own horse. Beginner riders welcome! Horseback riding is also one of the only ways to access the secluded Waipio Valley, where the entry roads are too steep for most vehicles. Explore the wild side of the Big Island like the cowboys of old!
Hiking Tours
Many of the Big Island's hidden treasures can only be accessed on foot, so lace up your hiking boots and get ready for an adventure! Hike to hidden waterfalls, trek the volcano, or explore forest trails to watch native birds. Hiking is also the only way to navigate the lava rocks on the south shore, which will reward you with a close-up view of the molten lava as it pours into the ocean to cool and create new land. Perfect for nature lovers!
Waterfall Tour Adventures
The arid, volcanic landscape of the west side of the Big Island exists in contrast to the lush, green eastern side, where waterfalls plunge off sea cliffs and flow through lush valleys.
