Walk on cooled lava, descend through rainforest, and see steaming vents on a private Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour.
About this tour
Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on a private three-hour tour through a landscape of cooled lava, rainforest and rising steam. Meet your driver-guide at the park visitor center, then set out to experience the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

The changing scenery brings the park’s volcanic character into view, while your guide leads the way in a Ford F150 Tremor pickup truck with room for four full-sized adults. Bottled water is provided.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii
- 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: this tour scores 7.3.
