Big Island Tours

How do we begin to describe Hawai’i Island? First, it is a BIG island. In fact, all the other Hawaiian Islands could fit inside of Hawai’i Island! Hawai’i Island has 10 of the world’s 14 climate zones, including Polar Tundra! We have white, black, and green sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters perfect for snorkeling and diving, forbidding yet beautiful black lava rock, towering 14,000 foot volcanoes with glowing lava and sparkling snow, hiking trails through bamboo forests to remote waterfalls, and lush tropical rainforests with bird species found nowhere else on earth.

There are so many incredible activities and guided excursions available on the Big Island, we have included our favorites on this website. We specialize in planning your time here on Hawai’i Island, not only by booking tours, but also by planning your day-to-day activities and sightseeing opportunities. Ask us about the incredible dining and bar scenes in both Kona and Hilo, the amazing local farmers’ markets all over the island, day trips to commonly overlooked National Parks and Historical Points of Interest, the lava flows at Kilauea, and the best spots to get those famous Malasadas. We are excited and honored to be able to share this amazing place with you! Kris & Keli
