Polynesian Adventure Tours - Big Island Volcano Adventure

Have you ever seen an active volcano? Well, here's your chance! Departing from Hilo, this Big Island Volcano Adventure takes you to all the accessible attractions within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

A picturesque ride through lush, forested areas gives way to the otherworldly vistas of volcanic craters, cinder cones, steam vents, sulfur banks and lava fields. This tour gives you a rich cultural experience and an exciting view of nature at work. You’ll also get to see the breathtaking new expanse of Halema'uma'u Crater – drastically changed in shape and size by the 2018 volcanic eruption.

After visiting the national park, this tour continues to other top attractions in and around Hilo. Visit two epic waterfalls – Rainbow Falls where rainbows magically form in the mist and Akaka Falls, a 442-foot cascade surrounded by tropical vegetation. This tour includes a to-go lunch!
