About this tour
This full-day tour with Hawaii Forest & Trail takes guests from pickup locations along the Kona and Waikoloa coasts to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where a naturalist interpretive guide leads stops through recent eruptive sites, a lava tube, and areas where native plants and animals live. Hikes are adjusted based on group ability and park conditions, and the terrain can be uneven, cool, wet, or muddy, so closed-toe shoes and long pants are recommended.
The second half of the day moves to Lavaloha Chocolate Farm above Hilo Bay, where guests learn how cacao grown on the property becomes finished chocolate. The visit ends at a waterfall on the farm grounds, where a chocolate tasting is held. Access fees to both the national park and the farm are covered, and the tour also includes snacks, a deli-style lunch, beverages, and gear such as trekking poles, backpacks, raingear, bug repellent, and reef-safe sunscreen. Pickup is available at several resorts and shopping centers. Because return is late in the evening, guests should arrange their own transportation home from the pickup location in advance.
