One Day Big Island of Hawaii "Grand Circle Island" Tour

This is the perfect all-day tour if you're on Oahu and you want to visit a neighbor island that is entirely different from where you're staying. The Big Island is like a planet unto itself, with its lava landscapes bursting with colorful flowers. On this circle island tour you will get to know this island well in a short amount of time.

You'll visit Volcanoes National Park near the earth's largest volcano, Mauna Loa, where you'll fill your brain with, and feast your eyes on, anything and everything volcano. You'll learn about Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, Hawaiian culture, and how the Hawaiian Islands were formed. There are also stops at Kilauea Iki Crater, a renowned Big Island lava tube, and waterfalls.

Stunning views pop up throughout your drive, including a very dramatic one at Kealakekua Bay Overlook, where many historians believe Captain Cook died. You'll also visit beaches made of black sand and famous ranch lands.

Kailua-Kona, formerly a tiny fishing village, is also on the tour. This charming town is a combination of restaurants, shops and historical sites with beautiful views of the ocean. You'll be amazed at the variety of Big Island sights and attractions you'll see. And by the end of the tour, you'll have a real understanding of this diverse, powerful, and very spiritual island.
