About this tour

Discover Hilo’s waterfalls, rainforest, black-sand shore and coastal wildlife on a four-hour private island outing. The Hilo Turtles and Waterfalls Tour begins among lush greenery at ʻAkaka Falls, where water drops 442 feet into a misty gorge. Continue to Rainbow Falls, then browse the lively Hilo Farmers Market and take in the striking geology of a volcanic black-sand beach.

The day’s final stop is a protected coastal lagoon, where you can swim or snorkel in calm, clear water. Hawaiian green sea turtles may be there, though sightings are not guaranteed. Bring your own snorkel gear and towel. Admission fees are paid separately: ʻAkaka Falls admission and $5 per person for Rainbow Falls.

With waterfalls, local flavors and a chance to enjoy the coast, this Hilo Turtles and Waterfalls Tour offers a varied look at the island’s natural beauty. Meet your driver outside the Port of Hilo gates, and get ready to explore Hilo at an easygoing pace.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator 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.
