Adventure Tips

Bring plenty of water

Stay hydrated throughout the tour, as hiking in tropical climates can be dehydrating even with moderate exertion.

Wear sturdy hiking shoes

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Protect your skin while preserving the fragile island ecosystems by using environmentally friendly sunscreen.

Bring a light rain jacket

The Big Island’s microclimates mean sudden rain showers are common, especially near waterfalls and rainforests.
