Departing from the fabulous Hawaiian Island of Oahu, this tour takes you over to Hawaii’s Big Island to spend a day exploring this exotic locale. Beginning at Volcanoes National Park, where you will witness a number of rocky landscapes formed through years of volcanic activity, you will then head over to see the beautiful waterfalls and rain forests of the Wailuku River State Park by Hilo.  

At the Volcanoes National Park, you will get to witness a number of unique, natural phenomena. For instance, you can walk through cavernous tunnels formed by thousands of years of lava flows or you feel and smell the steam that rises up out of vents from the sides of volcanic mountains. Accompanied by a professional guide, you will even be able to walk up to active lava flows as they bubble up from the ground and get a sense of just how hot they really are! The Volcanoes National Park at Hilo is one of the foremost research centers for the study of volcanoes.  

Also near Hilo is the Wailuku River State Park, where, time permitting, you will be able to hike through enormous forests composed entirely of fern trees. Hike through this tropical dream world to the base of Rainbow Falls to get a glimpse of truly breathtaking natural beauty. At the botanical gardens here, you can also see and smell a variety of intoxicating tropical flowers. In addition to exploring the State Parks near Hilo, you may also have a chance to spend a little bit of time in this historic town itself.
