Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island

Aloha, and Welcome to the Maui Sights and Treasures Blog!

Visit the longest flowing active Volcano in the world, Mt. Kilauea! Did you know that the Pu’u’O’o vent has been erupting continuously since 1983?

This all-day Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park tour includes Volcanoes National Park, Akaka Falls, Black Sand Beach, and more. It includes Round Trip airfare from Maui or Honolulu, and hotel pick up for visitors that are already on the Big Island.

After a short 30-45 minute flight, you’ll land outside the small town of Hilo, where the first thing you’ll see across the airport tarmac is a 13,803 ft. Volcano! Mauna Kea, is over 1 million years old. Mauna Kea means “White Mountain” in Hawaiian; named for it’s snowcapped peak.  We suggest that you have your camera ready as soon as you get off the plane!

Next, you’ll have an opportunity to grab a Hawaii coffee, and check out “Banyan Tree Drive.” Banyan Tree Drive’s famous history began in 1933 when the keiki trees were planted by Babe Ruth, Richard Nixon, Franklin D Roosevelt, and Amelia Earhart to name a few. Adjacent to Banyan Tree Drive is Lili’uokalani Park. THis 30-acre authentic Japanese Garden is considered the largest Japanese-style garden outside of Japan.

Experience one of the most famous and awe-inspiring waterfalls in all Hawaii, Akaka Falls. Akaka Falls is a perfect photo opportunity with its 80 ft waterfall, and lush background. Akaka Falls is definitley one of the most popular sights to see on the Big Island.

The main highlight of the  Big Island Volcano Tour is Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park. Here, guests will have an opportunity to walk through the famous Thurston Lava Tube, which was recently featured on the Travel Channel. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour also includes a ‘no-host’ lunch stop at Volcano House Restaurant, which sits on the edge of Kilauea Crater.  Admission to the Park is included in the price of the tour, as well as a stop at the Jagger Museum & Gift Shop.
