Enjoy this 2-5PM tour that passes through a sea-side Japanese garden, a hidden beach fed by waterfalls that is a favorite of local surfers, and then some fun in the sun on the Big Island's world renowned black sand beaches, where you can swim amongst the most colorful sea life on the planet and discover a secret cove of sea turtles. Consider bundling this afternoon experience with our morning tour that brings Hilo cruisers and visitors to fiery volcanoes (when there are active eruptions), lava tubes and formations, majestic tropical waterfalls and jungles, and locally raised confectionaries. In between these tours you'll have the opportunity to enjoy your ship's complimentary on-board lunch and change attire (morning walking shoes and afternoon sandals).

Experience the raw power and beauty of Hawaii's Big Island on this intimate small-group tour from Hilo. Witness the world's most active volcano—the mighty Kīlauea—along with a cavernous lava tube, thundering tropical waterfalls, lush jungles, and delicious local chocolates and macadamia nuts. No strenuous hikes required—just comfortable walking shoes recommended. We customize each tour daily to deliver the best experience. When Kilauea's angry, her fiery lava show will be our number one priority. But unlike other companies rooted to the long drive to the crowded national park, when the volcano isn't active, we flexibly explore more hidden gems of the windward side of Hawaii's youngest and largest island: which means less driving and crowds, and more waterfalls, lava tubes, and jungles. Return by 1:15 PM for your ship's complimentary lunch and time to refresh before heading out for afternoon activities. Maximize your Hilo day—add our popular 2–5 PM black-sand beach experience (bundle for savings): scenic garden drive, additional waterfalls, world famous black-sand beaches, wading/swimming/snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful fish, and witness sea turtles sunning in hidden coves. Unforgettable adventure awaits—limited spots!
