About this tour

Trade the harbor for Hilo’s lush north shore, where jungle roads, old bridges, and waterfalls set the scene for a day of local stories and volcanic landscapes. This Hilo Hawaii Volcano National Park shore excursion combines a narrated drive with stops that bring the island’s scenery and culture into view.

Watch for surfers along the coast, then travel through green countryside as your guide shares stories about local plants, history, and real estate. Depending on availability, pause for iced coconut, whipped ice cream, or fruit from a farm or roadside stand. In Volcano Village, browse locally made goods and pick up food to go. Inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, walk across a lava field in search of peacock lava and visit a fissure. Your guide also shares Hawaiian mythology and takes photos at the stops.

The tour meets at Hilo Harbor at 8:30 am, and park fees and an English-speaking guide are included. Join this Hilo Hawaii Volcano National Park shore excursion for a relaxed look at the island beyond the port.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 145 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 7.1.
