Itinerary
Walk across ancient lava fields, feel the heat rising from active steam vents, and stand at the rim of the powerful Kīlauea crater. Your guide shares the legends of Pele, the volcano goddess, and explains how the Big Island continues to grow every year.
See one of Hawai‘i’s most famous black sand beaches, formed by cooled lava fragments. Keep an eye out for resting honu (sea turtles) along the shoreline as you stroll, take photos, and enjoy the striking contrast of black sand against blue water.
Punaluʻu Bakery Stop at the southernmost bakery in the United States for warm sweet bread, malasadas, and local treats. It’s a guest favorite and a perfect snack break during your journey.

About Big Island of Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest and youngest of the main Hawaiian islands, with active volcanoes, black-sand beaches, coffee farms and clear skies.
The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined and still being shaped by active volcanoes. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has steaming craters, lava fields and the Chain of Craters Road down to the sea. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa both rise above 4,000 metres, and snow dusts their summits in winter.
