About this tour

Set out along Hawaiʻi’s rugged Hamakua coastline on a leisurely two-hour cruise, where sea cliffs, tucked-away coves, and tropical waterfalls frame the shore. This Hawaiʻi Waterfall Cruise travels toward Onomea Bay, revealing a landscape shaped by both natural beauty and local history.

As you cruise, your guide shares stories of ancient village sites and the remains of Hilo’s plantation-era sugar mills. Keep your camera ready for views of Mauna Kea’s towering peak and Mauna Loa’s broad slopes, and watch the water for spinner and bottlenose dolphins. Local juice and snacks are provided, with transportation from the check-in location to the boat harbor.

Ocean spray and splashes on deck are part of the outing, so expect to get wet. Choose this Hawaiʻi Waterfall Cruise for a relaxed way to see the coast and discover the stories behind its landmarks.

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.
