Bike Ride Tours
.
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. See famous waterfalls such as stunning Rainbow Falls, majestic Akaka, or towering Hiilawe. These waterfall tours are the best way for you to see the beauty of the Hilo side, whether you're exploring Waipio Valley, doing a nature walk, or flying to a secluded pool via helicopter.
Mauna Kea & Stargazing Tours
Stargazing is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Hawaii, and Big Island offers some of the best conditions in the world. The island's elevation and remote Pacific Ocean location provide clear views of the starry night sky. Add this to your Hawaii bucket list and experience an unparalleled stargazing tour at the Mauna Kea Visitor Center, Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa slopes, or along Saddle Road with a powerful telescope and expert guide.
Fishing Charters & Tours
Embark on a fishing tour off the west coast of the Big Island to catch big game sport fish such as mahi mahi (dolphinfish), ahi (tuna), or marlin! Take a shorter half-day tour or spend the full day fishing on these shared and private charters. Not interested in angling? Look for ride-along options to relax on the boat, taking in the scenic views of Hawaii all around you. Whether you bag the big one or just relax on board, you're bound to have a good time on one of these Big Island fishing tours.
Mauna Kea Summit Adventures & Stars
