Hawaii Grand Circle Island

The Very Best Of The Big Island

It’s bigger than all the other major islands combined, and there’s no better way to cover that ground than this circle tour. You’ll witness some of the Big Island’s most impressive and diverse natural wonders, from its volcanoes to its tropical forests to its world famous black sand beaches. There are several photo-worthy moments along the way, including a spectacular view at Kealakekua Bay Overlook, the historic location known for the death of Captain Cook. (Don’t be surprised if you see spinner dolphins playing in the bay.) Volcanoes National Park is another highlight, where you’ll learn about Hawaii’s active volcanoes and see their features throughout the park. You’ll also hear about the island’s seven ecological zones, its plant and animal communities, and a bit about how the area perpetuates native Hawaiian culture. Whether you’re gazing at a lava tube, steam bluff, or waterfall, your guide will provide fascinating insights into the island’s rich geology, history and culture. This is a tour not to be missed.
