Choose Your Own Adventure From Hilo: An exclusive, tailor-made day across the Big Island.
On the Big Island the landscape reads like a choose-your-own map: plunging waterfalls, lava-scarred parkland, coffee orchards and macadamia groves. This entirely exclusive offering from The Volcano Van hands the map to you—one guide, one van, and a day built around the sights you pick. Whether you want a long day hike through Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, a sequence of waterfall trails, or a slow survey of local farms, the experience is designed to match your interests and household.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
You choose the route: waterfalls, hikes, farms or volcano country
The core appeal is flexibility: pick from breathtaking waterfalls, scenic hikes, or visits to local farms—coffee and macadamia among them—or request a long day in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park; the itinerary is yours to shape.
An entirely exclusive, private day for your group
When you book this tour you reserve the van and guide for the entire day for just your party, ensuring privacy and a tailored pace for whatever you decide to see.
Volcano specialists who bring that expertise everywhere
Though the operator is known for volcano trips, the same personal approach applies to any itinerary you choose, combining local knowledge with a flexible, private format.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
Expect a single, continuous day with one guide and one van: you and your guests decide the focus, the guide adapts the route, and the hours unfold around the choices you make. On a given day that can mean a sequence of short waterfall stops, a sustained hike across volcanic terrain, or a leisurely round of farm visits—each option is framed by local knowledge and the private nature of the booking.
