Grand Circle Island Tour Big Island

By plane is the main form of transportation between the islands, utilizing Hawaiian Airlines. Currently, many of the flights are under $100. There currently are no inter-island ferries connecting to Kona from the other main islands.  Depending on your flight, enjoy views of Mauna Loa, the main volcanic mountain on the island, or Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, as you arrive at the Big Island.

Kona has a very diverse landscape, and frequently changes, thus providing excellent variety for your tour. It will progress from tropical valleys, layered in mist and dotted with ferns, to the cascading waterfalls on the cliffs, all the way to the barren, black lava landscape of the coast. In your tour, enjoy a stop at Rainbow Falls, a series of beautiful waterfalls cascading down the cliffs, and a stop at the unique black sand beaches of Punalu‘u.

This scenic restaurant offers various options, each with a Hawaiian spin to them, and includes salads, sushi, burgers, and pizzas. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Halema'uma'u Crater and the Kilauea Caldera with your meal. Volcano House offers gluten-free options, and the ability to make most meals gluten-free with slight alterations. Lunch is not included in the price for this tour.

Our buses come equipped with air conditioning, and comfortable, supportive seats. Enjoy 360° views of scenic Hawaii, including the lush landscape of the Kaʻū Forest Reserve, backdropped by a series of iconic mountains, including the world's most active volcano. Soak in the sights of Volcano National Park, and potentially spot flowing lava.

This bus tour will have a variety of scenic and educational stops, with walking involved to allow you to truly experience each portion of the Big Island, as well as opportunities to stretch your legs.
