About this tour
Take the Big Volcano Adventure as a private experience for up to 6 guests on this 8-9 hour cross-island tour from Kona. Same epic itinerary as the shared tour - rainforests, waterfalls, lava fields, and Kīlauea's summit - but with exclusive use of the van and guide, allowing a more personalized pace.
Pickup from your Kona, Waikoloa, or Kohala accommodation. The route heads north through Waimea to the scenic Hāmākua Coast. Start with malasadas at Tex Drive-In, then stop at Laupāhoehoe Point for dramatic sea cliff views. Walk through rainforest at 'Akaka Falls State Park to see the 442-foot waterfall, and cruise the Old Māmalahoa Highway through historic plantation country.
Explore Kīlauea's summit region in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, including lava fields, craters, steam vents, and native forest. The return route depends on your accommodation: Saddle Road for Waikoloa and Kohala guests (high-elevation drive between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa), or the southern coast with a stop at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach for Kona guests.
Lunch, snacks, water, juice, and all national park entrance fees are included. Routing is flexible based on weather, park access, and volcanic conditions. Not strenuous - short walks on varied terrain paced to your comfort level.
