Volcanoes National Park sits just a short drive from Hilo, where the island feels most alive with steaming craters, lava tubes and dramatic landscapes that change with every eruption. This private tour keeps it all yours – comfortable vehicle, customized itinerary, and as much time as you want at each stop. You’ll explore the park’s highlights like Kilauea’s caldera and recent lava flows at your own pace, with an expert guide sharing the stories behind the fire and rock. Along the way, add stops like Rainbow Falls cascading into a misty pool, Richardson’s black-sand beach where green sea turtles often bask in the sun, and the colorful Akatsuka Orchid Gardens bursting with exotic blooms. No rush, no big groups – just the Big Island’s raw volcanic power and natural beauty tailored to what you love most.
