About

This Tour is for people coming into Hilo Cruise port via Cruise Ship ONLY. The difference in time is transportation to and from the park. One of our tour guides will pick you up at Hilo Cruise Port and Transport you up to Volcanoes National Park. After your tour is complete, we transport you back to Hilo Cruise Port or a location in Hilo Town. 2 patrons need to be booked or your tour will be cancelled.

We are the only ones in the National Park who will be on Fat Tire E-Bikes. We ride many miles with little effort, and you are handed complete control to glide effortlessly through the roads and trails of the park. This is an exhilarating experience that will surely be a tour you will remember for years to come!

The bikes are powerful and fun. Easy to ride and easy to learn if you are not experienced on an E-Bike.

Our knowledgeable guides are experts on volcanoes and will help you understand the ins and outs of the geology of this island in a very interesting and entertaining way.

You will never fight for a parking spot and will zip through the park faster than anyone in a car or on foot can. We stop at all the top spots at the park and are able to do it faster because of our amazing bikes!

The Cruise Ship tour is based on double occupancy. You will need to book 2 or more seats or your reservation may be cancelled.

We ask that only intermediate or better bike riders enroll in this tour. YOUR INABILITY TO RIDE A 26” 2-WHEELED BIKE DOES NOT WARRANT A REFUND. THIS IS A BIKE TOUR.
