Private Shore Excursion up to 11 Passengers

Designed specifically for cruise ship passengers docking in Hilo, this six-hour private shore excursion takes your group straight to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park in an air-conditioned Mercedes van with a certified interpretive guide. You'll visit the park's major highlights — Kilauea Volcano Overlook, Halema'uma'u Crater, and the steam vents — while learning about the island's volcanic geology, native plant life, lava flows, and local wildlife including Hawaiian green sea turtles.

Your guide meets you at the Hilo port and handles all the logistics so you can make the most of your time on the island. The tour includes National Park entrance fees, trekking poles, binoculars, bottled water, snacks, and rain gear. Lunch is not included.

The excursion accommodates up to 11 passengers per group, making it ideal for families or small groups traveling together on a cruise. Cruise passengers can book with confidence — if your ship cancels or can't dock due to weather or other circumstances, you'll receive a full refund. Best suited for children ages 7 and older.
