About this excursion

Enjoy this 3-hour, late afternoon tour, where our BIG HAWAII TOURS van and service are premium-level and each day's itinerary is curated to maximize your time in Hilo. Designed with cruisers in mind, so return for "all aboard" is guaranteed.

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 (some steps) through a tropical rainforest to world-renowned 'Akaka Falls, enjoy some local confectionaries, and then have some fun in the sun on the Big Island's unique black sand beaches.

Time permitting (ship "all aboard"), 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.

Bundle this afternoon experience with BIG HAWAII TOURS' early morning VOLCANIC EXPERIENCE for a discounted, all-day adventure and guaranteed "all aboard" return for Hilo cruisers.
