The adventure runs 11.5 hours from Kona, 10 to 11 hours from Waikoloa, and 7 to 8 hours from Hilo. All guests should plan for an estimated return time after 7:00 PM, so it is important to have return transportation confirmed and scheduled from your designated pick-up location before the tour begins. The tour originates from Kona and may include pick-ups at several locations along the way, including Royal Kona Resort, Queens' Marketplace, Shops at Mauna Lani, Waikoloa Plaza, and Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo. Each pick-up location has its own specific meeting time, so guests should confirm their exact time and location in advance and plan to be punctual, as these pick-ups determine when the tour starts.
Guests on this private tour will receive a full refund if they cancel at least 72 hours before the adventure begins. Cancellations made within that 72-hour window, as well as no-shows, will be charged the full amount of the tour with no refund issued. Because this is a private tour, the cancellation terms are firm. If you are uncertain about your travel plans, it is worth confirming your schedule well in advance of the 72-hour cutoff. Contact Hawaii Forest and Trail directly if you have questions about your specific booking or need to make changes to your reservation.
Guests should wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes or sneakers and bring long pants along with a light jacket or sweatshirt, since conditions in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park can be cool and wet.

Chilled beverages and filtered water are included throughout the day, along with morning and afternoon snacks, a deli-style lunch with potato chips, and a sweet treat.
The tour includes several stops with short hikes, and the specific hikes are determined based on your group's interests, ability levels, and park conditions on the day. Guests should be prepared to walk short to moderate distances on uneven terrain, and conditions can sometimes be cool, wet, or muddy. Your naturalist interpretive guide uses their training and knowledge of current park conditions to identify the best spots for your group. The tour covers Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including recent eruptive sites and a lava tube, as well as the grounds of a 1,000-acre chocolate and tropical fruit farm. The pace is shaped around your group's comfort and the day's conditions.
