Big Island Volcano Tours
Big Island volcano tours follow the island into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea landscapes, lava tubes, steam vents, black sand beaches and Hilo-side waterfalls. Depart from Kona, Waikoloa or Hilo for a guided route through the volcanic side of Hawaii Island.
Your Big Island Volcano Tour
Volcano tours on the Big Island show the island still being shaped, one lava field, crater edge and steam vent at a time. The route may cross dry Kona coffee country, black sand shoreline, rainforest roads or Hilo-side waterfall stops before reaching Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Tour routes may include Kilauea, lava tubes, crater viewpoints, steam vents, Rainbow Falls, Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, Kona coffee farms, Hilo landmarks and evening stargazing. Some tours leave from Kona or Waikoloa for a long cross-island day, while Hilo departures put you closer to volcano country and nearby waterfalls.
Plan for a full day, changing weather and more walking than a quick lookout stop. Bring comfortable shoes, a light rain layer, sun protection and warmer clothing for evening or higher-elevation routes. Check pickup area, meals, walking distance, park access and current volcano conditions before booking.
