🌋 Wasabi Tours - Big Island Grand Circle Island Tour
Discover the natural wonders of Hawaii's Big Island on this full-day guided tour. Explore one of the most diverse places on Earth, where you'll experience 8 of the world's 13 climate zones - from volcanic craters and rainforests to black sand beaches and waterfalls.
Your day starts with a visit to a Kona coffee farm, where you’ll learn how world-famous Kona coffee is made and enjoy a fresh cup. Walk through the orchards with your guide and learn about the harvesting and milling process. Later, we will continue on south and take in the scenic views of Kealakekua Bay from a distance, as well as South Point, the southernmost point of the United States.
At Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, look for Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on the shore. Then head to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see steam vents, lava fields and the Halema'uma'u and Kilauea Iki crater lookouts. Take a short hike through the 600-foot-long Thurston Lava Tube formed hundreds of years ago.
In the afternoon, visit two of the island's most beautiful waterfalls - Akaka Falls, a 442-foot cascade in a lush jungle setting, and Rainbow Falls, framed by a giant banyan tree. Finish your journey with stunning views of Waipio Valley, where steep green cliffs meet the ocean.
