Big Island: Volcanoes, Waterfalls, & Coffee Farm Day-Trip
Before you book
- Pickup is from 19 listed hotels on the Kona and Kohala coasts, up to 15 minutes after your scheduled time. Day-trippers from Oʻahu can be met at Kona Airport if they land by 7:20 a.m. and fly out after 8:45 p.m.
- Kīlauea has not fountained since 25 August 2026, and the volcano observatory cannot forecast the next episode. Plan on the steam vents, crater lookouts, rim walk and lava tube, not on seeing lava.
- As of early October 2026, the Waipiʻo stop is the lookout on the rim, which is open; the road into the valley is closed to visitors (the current rule runs to 1 November 2026). Part of the ʻAkaka Falls trail is closed by fallen trees.
- Visitor arrangements at Punaluʻu, the lunch stop, have been unsettled since the County's lease of the beach park ended on 29 August 2026. The listing warns that itineraries can change, with no refunds for closures outside the operator's control.
- Lunch, drinks, snacks, park admissions and jackets are included; gratuities are not. Ages 5 and up only, and the listing also rules out people with mobility impairments or low fitness, hearing-impaired guests and cruise-ship passengers.
- Tours run rain or shine. Cancellation, as listed: “Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.”
