Enjoy this 3-hour, late afternoon tour with BIG HAWAI'I TOURS, where our van and service are premium-level but not our prices.

We typically pass through a sea-side Japanese garden, reveal hidden beaches and waterfalls enjoyed by island locals, drive through a picturesque jungle, stop for a leisurely walk through a tropical rainforest to world-renowned 'Akaka Falls, enjoy Hilo's own Big Island Candies, and then have some fun in the sun on the Big Island's unique black sand beaches. Time permitting, you can take a quick dip amongst the most colorful sea life on the planet, while we guide less adventurers guests to nearby coves often teeming with sea turtles. Bring your towel, swimsuit, and underwater camera if you packed them, our premium-level van has plenty of storage space. The entire afternoon tour is one continuous photo-op, with the last stop only 5 minutes from the harbor, assuring cruisers a timely "All Aboard" return (i.e., more than 30 minutes before departure).Bundle & Save: Consider bundling this afternoon experience with our 5.5-hour morning tour that brings Hilo cruisers and visitors to a fiery volcano (when there are active eruptions), lava formations and cavernous caves, additional tropical waterfalls, and locally raised confectionaries. In between these tours cruise passengers will have the opportunity to enjoy their ship's complimentary on-board meal, while Hilo vacationers can enjoy the many culinary options available in Hilo Town.

Experience the raw power and beauty of the most diverse island in the world with BIG HAWAI'I TOURS, where our van and service are premium-level but not our prices. Witness the world's most active volcano—the mighty Kīlauea—along with cavernous lava tubes, thundering tropical waterfalls, lush jungles, and when time permits: delicious local chocolates and macadamia nuts. No strenuous hikes required—just comfortable walking shoes recommended. We truly customize each tour on a daily basis to deliver the best experience for all our travelers. When Kilauea's angry, her fiery lava ('a Pele) will be our number one priority -- a once in-a-lifetime, awe-inspiring experience. But unlike other tour companies rooted to the long drive to the crowded park, when the volcano isn't active, we flexibly explore other lava-created landscapes and hidden gems of the windward side of Hawaii's youngest and largest island. That means less driving and crowds, and more waterfalls, peaceful jungle scenery, volcanic formations and private beach overlooks that most tourists never see. Cruise passengers will be returned for your ship's complimentary food and time to refresh before heading out for early evening activities (Hilo hotel or AirBnB guests can be dropped off in Hilo Town to enjoy abundant culinary options). Maximize your Hilo day: For all our morning guests, including shore excursion cruisers with at least 9 hours in port (which is almost all liners visiting Hilo, e.g., Norwegian's Pride of America, Princess, Celebrity and other cruise lines), consider adding our popular 3-hour 'Akaka Falls & black-sand beach experience (bundle for savings): scenic tropical jungle drive, additional waterfalls, stunning black-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful fish, and peaceful coves that give respite to graceful sea turtles. Guaranteed ship return for "All Aboard"Unforgettable adventure awaits—limited spots!
