About this tour
Discover the Big Island’s dramatic contrasts on a full-day journey from Kona or Waikoloa, from coffee country and tropical coastline to the volcanic landscapes of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Along the way, a professional guide shares stories about the island’s geology, culture, and changing terrain.
Visit a working Kona coffee farm to learn about the journey from bean to cup and taste 100% Kona coffee. Travel through South Kona and Kaʻū, then stop at Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, where you can stroll the dark volcanic shore and look for Hawaiian green sea turtles. A picnic-style lunch offers time to take in the scenery before the tour continues into Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Explore craters, steaming ground, hardened lava flows, and other formations shaped by volcanic activity. A picnic dinner, snacks, and beverages are provided, along with practical gear for the day.
Volcanic conditions change, so glowing lava is not guaranteed; the landscapes themselves offer a remarkable look at the island’s ongoing evolution. Join this Big Island Volcanoes, Black Sand Beach & Kona Coffee Tour for a full day of scenery, local flavors, and discovery.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
