About This Adventure

Designed exclusively for guests staying in North Hawai‘i resorts, this tour is the most effortless way to see Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in just half a day. With luxury transportation, park entry fees, and refreshments included, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride through some of the island’s most awe-inspiring scenery.

=======

What to Expect: Your morning begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or resort. As the coastline and mountains roll by, the landscape transforms—lush greenery giving way to Hilo’s historic charm. After a quick rest stop, the adventure continues to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the ground steams, the air smells faintly of minerals, and massive craters tell the story of an island still in the making.

Here, in the realm of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, you’ll stand where molten earth once flowed, learning how volcanoes shaped the culture, history, and very existence of Hawai‘i. It’s a humbling and exhilarating moment you’ll never forget.

On the return, enjoy a scenic drive across Saddle Road, where panoramic views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa dominate the horizon. A short rest stop offers time to stretch before your smooth ride back to the resort.
