Explore Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and admire the 80-foot Rainbow Falls on a guided Hilo shore excursion.

About this tour

Discover Hilo’s volcanic landscapes on a cruise shore excursion that pairs the dramatic scenery of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park with the misty beauty of Rainbow Falls. At the falls, watch for rainbows in the spray as water drops 80 feet into the lush surroundings.

Ride in an air-conditioned vehicle to the national park, where a guide brings 70 million years of volcanic history to life and explains how eruptions have shaped the landscape and affected local communities. The tour explores the home of Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Walking is moderate over relatively level ground, though some paths may include gravel, lava, or uneven surfaces.

This Hilo Volcanoes National Park tour includes port pickup and drop-off and is reserved for Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America passengers. Departure timing follows the ship’s disembarkation, and volcanic activity may prompt route changes for safety. Book this Hilo Volcanoes National Park tour to see two memorable sides of the island in one shore excursion.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.28 from 133 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 4.6.
