Itinerary

  • Banyan Drive (Pass By)

    Infamous Scenic Drive, where massive banyan trees have withstood and survived multiple tsunamis in the past.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Established in 1917 by Queen Liliʻuokalani, this expansive park stands as the largest Authentic Japanese garden of its kind beyond Japan's shores. Dotted throughout the serene landscape are stone lanterns, gazebos, and torii gates, serving as poignant tributes to the Japanese immigrants who made Hawaii their home.

  • Punalu'u Black Sand beach

    Our journey now takes us to the renowned Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, where numerous Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) reside. Here, we have a great opportunity to witness these majestic creatures basking in the warm sun.

    25 minutes

  • Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

    Next, we journey to the summit of Kilauea volcano within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a globally renowned volcanic site revered for its significance being attributed to the goddess Pele. This park showcases two of the planet's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, offering insights to the formation of the Hawaiian Islands and showcasing breathtaking vistas of volcanic landscapes. During our visit, we'll pause at the Visitor Center, marvel at the spectacular collapsed caldera, observe steam vents and sulfur banks, and soak in the mesmerizing scenic viewpoints. A visit to Volcanoes National Park is an essential part of any Hawaiian adventure, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

    1 hour

  • Nahuku - Thurston Lava Tube

    We'll embark on a walk through a lava tube, where your guide will provide insights into its formation by lava. This loop, approximately 600 meters or .4-mile trail, features low lighting, with gradual stairs leading into and out of the tube. While this portion of the tour may not be suitable for all passengers due to physical fitness, alternative options include remaining in the vehicle or exploring the natural scenery outside. Additionally, you'll have the choice to bring headlamps along for enhanced visibility within the dimly lit lava tube, allowing you to appreciate intricate cave details and observe the formation of tiny stalactites.

    20 minutes

  • Rainbow Falls

    As for one of our last stops we take photos at this iconic waterfall

    15 minutes

  • Hilo Farmers Market

    On our return journey from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to Hilo, we'll have the chance to visit the Hilo Farmers Market. Here, you'll have the opportunity to purchase a variety of local fruits, enjoy Hawaiian shave ice, and explore souvenir options before our trip concludes.

Perfect Way to Tour the Island with Various Abilities + Ages

Published on Jan, 2025

We traveled with a group of 9 from a 12 year old with Down syndrome to a 73 year old. This was the perfect way to see everything in an accessible, easy pace with yummy snacks and an absolutely lovely tour guide, Adam. Prepping for the tour was wonderful. They even were able to customize to ensure they could meet a dietary restriction of our party. Adam was early and stayed later with us. He customized our tour based on what we'd love. He was full of knowledge. He was funny. He was personable and warm. He had an Aloha spirit. He even let us karaoke in the car ride!

Interesting and amazing tour despite the rainy weather

Published on Oct, 2024

Despite the rainy weather, the tour was amazing. Adam was a fantastic guide and amazing helps to my elderly family members!

Great volcano national parks trip

Published on Jul, 2024

Adam was great. High energy and really knows his history well. Great trip for our family with kids ages 10, 10 and 11. We went to see the ocean and a cool lava arch instead of the black sand beach. Rainbow falls, macadamia nut farm and farmers market to get mangosteen and white pineapple. great trip. Thanks.

Best Bang For Your Buck!!

Published on Jun, 2024

We booked this trip because it seemed to be the most economical for our family, but the day was worth so much more than we paid! Adam treated us so well and was a fantastic guide. He was super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He even went above and beyond when my son left his hat in the van. I highly recommend booking this trip and would recommend asking for Adam! Thank you Hawaii Island Time and thank you Adam!! Go Bucks!!

Chosen Ohana

Published on Jun, 2024

This trip was amazing, our tour guide Adam was truly like Ohana by the end of the trip, he told us so much about the island and the sites, he was very entertaining for the drive, He went above and beyond to make our experience spectacular. Thanks Adam, highly recommend this company for tours.
