This is the Big Island without a script. Start with an idea and we build the day around it, whether that means chasing waterfalls, exploring lava landscapes, visiting coffee farms, or hiking deep into Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. We shape the route, pace, and stops to match your interests, the weather, and the moment. With a private guide and the freedom to pivot, the island opens up exactly the way you want to experience it.

KEEP IN MIND...

Every day is different. Stops depend on weather, interests, timing, and what feels right in the moment.

This is a flexible, custom experience, not a checklist tour. Certain destinations, including Mauna Kea’s summit and Green Sand Beach, are not part of this tour due to access restrictions, safety concerns, and time constraints.

Not sure what you want to do? That’s common, and totally fine. If you’d rather not plan every detail, We’ve got itineraries ready to go and will guide the day based on conditions, timing, and what you’re most excited to see.

Please note: This is a sample itinerary. Every tour is flexible and may be adjusted based on guest interests, weather, road conditions, and guide discretion.

We love erupting volcanoes as much as you do. However, lava viewing is not guaranteed. Lava visibility depends on current volcanic activity at Kīlauea or Mauna Loa and whether any active lava is safely and publicly viewable at the time of your tour.
