About Hawaii Island Time
Hawaii Island Time provides private shuttle and shore excursion services on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island. The company specializes in private Kona cruise-ship excursions with capacity for up to 14 passengers, full-day Circle Island tours that showcase the island’s top natural and cultural sights, and private Hilo shore excursions focused on volcanoes, waterfalls, and black sand beaches.
Pickup and drop-off logistics are a core service: for cruise guests, pickup occurs at the Kailua pier in Kona; for land-based guests, pickup options include locations from Kailua-Kona to Waikoloa. Tours include guided stops at local points of interest such as a Kona coffee farm with tastings and retail coffee available, Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau (a national historic sacred site), Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Rainbow Falls, ʻAkaka Falls, and Thurston Lava Tube.
Tour inclusions vary by trip but commonly list transportation, knowledgeable guiding, park entry where required, and selected tastings. The Big Island Highlights Circle tour operates as a full-day experience (approximately 10–11 hours roundtrip) with a balance of photo stops, cultural context, and light walking. The Hilo shore excursion includes a scenic drive (about 1 hour 30 minutes to Punaluʻu) and visits to volcanic and coastal landmarks. Hawaii Island Time is listed on Viator/TripAdvisor and is featured on The Adventure Collective, offering clear booking details and documented itineraries for travelers seeking private, shore-friendly tours.
