Description
We love sharing the beauty of our islands, and the Big Island is truly one of the most awe-inspiring. With its powerful natural landscapes, towering volcanoes, and vast open spaces, there’s no better way to experience it than with a private guide. Sit back and enjoy a full day adventure as we take you around the island’s most spectacular sights.
You may prefer to focus on either the Hilo or Kona side rather than circling Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in a single day. On the Hilo side, explore multiple waterfalls, volcanoes, black sand beaches, and lush tropical farms. The Kona side is where you can discover world-renowned coffee farms, local breweries, historic and cultural sites, warm beaches, and stunning lava fields with breathtaking ocean views. Your guide will have great suggestions, or feel free to let us know your must-see destinations when booking.
We’ll handle the driving from hotel pickup to drop-off, covering hundreds of miles with stops every 45 to 80 minutes. Enjoy plenty of time for meals, whether you prefer breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner, depending on your tour’s start time.
For those interested in stargazing, don’t forget to bring warm clothing—nights at high elevations in Hawai‘i can get surprisingly chilly!
