Big Island Sightseeing Tours
See All Of Hawaii And Volcanoes National Park Too
Known as the Big Island, the Island of Hawaiʻi is, well, big! The island continues to grow every year as lava from the Big Island’s active volcano extends its reach into the ocean.
As the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, there’re plenty of things for visitors to see and do: stargazing, horseback riding, visiting historic cultural sites, golfing, hiking, and participating in a variety of eco-adventures. The island’s duplicitous terrain features the world’s tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, and the currently active Kilauea Volcano in Volcanoes National Park, which is popular with visitors looking for a one-of-kind Hawaii experience. The island also has multiple climates resulting in many different landscapes island-wide. From rainy, lush Hilo, up the mountain to the cooler temperatures of Waimea, to the deserted black flats of Kona, the scenery on the Big Island is far from mundane.
With so many experiences concentrated on one island, sightseeing can be overwhelming. However, we offer a variety of tours on all three major sides of the island—the leeward side, the windward side, and the southern shore—to assist in checking everything off your Big Island bucket list! We guarantee you won’t miss a thing!
