Hiking On the Big Island
Hike Hawaiiʻs Best Places With A Guide
Big Island Of Hawaii Hikes
Like all of the Hawaiian Islands, the Big Island is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. With a plethora of waterfalls, trails, and even the world’s tallest mountain, it’s no wonder that hiking is so popular here. And much like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, the hikes on the Big Island can take you through volcano craters to green sand beaches, or even towards the stars. Highlights include Kilauea’iki Trail through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Pololu Valley hike with views of black sand beaches and dramatic cliffs faces.
An Introduction To Hiking On Big Island
As hiking trails often vary in terms of maintenance, accessibility, and terrain, we always recommend hiking with a guided tour. In addition to being safer, guided tours are also educational, informative, and can be packaged with other outdoor experiences like bike rides and sightseeing.
