Explore Hamakua Coast waterfalls and rainforests, then see the volcanic landscapes of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park from Kona.

About this tour

Discover the Big Island’s dramatic contrasts on a small-group journey from Kona. This Kona Volcano Adventure pairs the lush Hamakua Coast with the volcanic landscapes of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, offering a vivid taste of the island’s varied scenery.

Travel by private vehicle through rainforests and along the coast, where towering waterfalls and striking sea cliffs reveal the island’s wild side. The tour also visits the area around Kīlauea volcano in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, with expansive lava fields adding a stark contrast to the green landscapes. A picnic lunch, snacks, and bottled water are provided, while hotel or airport pickup and drop-off make the day easier to plan. Choose a shared outing or a private experience, with groups capped at six people per booking.

Set out from Kona to see two very different sides of the Big Island in one adventure. Wear close-toed shoes and dress for changing weather, then enjoy the scenery along the way.
