About hiking on the Big Island of Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii offers the most diverse hiking in the Hawaiian Islands, spanning 11 of the world's 13 climate zones across terrain ranging from sea-level tropical rainforests to the sub-arctic summit of Mauna Kea at 13,796 feet. Guided hiking tours provide expert knowledge, safety, and access to the island's most spectacular trails.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the island's premier hiking destination, with trails crossing active volcanic craters, through lava tubes, across barren lava fields, and along steaming vents. The Kilauea Iki trail — descending into a solidified lava lake — is one of the most unique hikes in the world. Guided hikes add geological context and cultural significance that bring the volcanic landscape to life.
The Big Island's windward coast harbors hidden waterfalls accessible only by trail. Waterfall hikes lead through dense tropical vegetation to cascading falls with natural swimming pools — the kind of experience that defines a Hawaiian vacation. Experienced guides know which trails are passable, which pools are safe for swimming, and where to find the most spectacular viewpoints.
From leisurely nature walks through botanical gardens to challenging summit treks and multi-hour volcano explorations, the Big Island has a guided hike for every fitness level and interest.
