Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the crown jewel of the Big Island. If your goal is primarily to experience it while on the island, try our Volcano Express Tour. This tour takes you straight to the volcano with minimal stops along the way, and maximizes your time in the park while minimizing time on the road.

This night time tour takes the north route. Our first stop is Rainbow Falls-an 80-foot falls that cascades over a natural lava cave into the Wailuku river below. Next, we visit Big Island Candies, a Hilo fixture since 1977, and a must-stop for sweet treats. Lastly, we save the highlight of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. If Kilauea is erupting, we’ll include ample viewing time of the awe-inspiring lava lake glow.

Includes:

  • English-speaking driver/guide
  • Mercedes 15 passenger mini-coach. This tour has a maximum of 13 passengers to provide plenty of headroom in the cabin and comes with state-of-the-art audio and visual public address package.
  • Deli Style Dinner
  • Snack Basket
  • Bottled water, bottled juice, soda, and hot beverage.
  • Umbrellas, rain, and parka jackets in the event of rain*

*Weather can change dramatically from hot and humid to cool and wet conditions.
