About this tour

Discover the Big Island’s volcanic landscapes, tropical flavors, and hidden waterfall scenery on a full-day adventure. A National Park Certified Interpretive Guide leads the way through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where you’ll explore a landscape reshaped by the historic collapse of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater and learn how Kīlauea has changed. This Big Island volcano, chocolate, and waterfalls tour pairs the park’s dramatic terrain with a visit to a private tropical fruit and cacao farm. Follow the tree-to-chocolate experience, then take time to unwind beside the farm’s secluded, cascading waterfall. The 690-minute small-group outing includes park and chocolate farm access fees, trekking poles, daypacks, and rain gear. Enjoy a deli-style sandwich or gluten-free salad with sides and chilled drinks along the way. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and be ready to walk up to 2 miles on uneven ground. Pickup times differ from the online start time, so confirm your meeting details with the provider. Join this Big Island volcano, chocolate, and waterfalls tour for a day that brings together powerful geology and a taste of the island’s lush side.
