Description

Set out on a full-day Hawaii Volcano Tour from Hilo, traveling in comfort through coastal rainforest toward the island's volcanic heart. Lush scenery gives way to the dramatic terrain of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the world's most famous and active volcanoes.

Step onto paved trails to feel the heat of steam vents and peer into the massive Halema'uma'u Crater. Walk through an ancient lava tube, and capture sweeping views of volcanic plains shaped by centuries of eruptions. Along the way, stop at Rainbow Falls and Punalu'u Black Sand Beach for contrasting backdrops of waterfalls and sea-carved coastline.

Hear stories of Pele, the volcano goddess, as your Roberts Hawaii guide connects the island's living geology with its deep cultural roots. Every stop brings a new perspective—scientific, scenic, and spiritual.

If you want to see the Big Island's most iconic landscapes without strenuous hiking, this land-based tour offers the perfect balance of comfort, access, and insight.
