    Mauna Kea Access Road is a steep, winding route that leads to the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s tallest volcano and the highest point in the state. Starting from the Saddle Road (Route 200), the road ascends through various climates, from grassy plains to barren, volcanic landscapes. As you climb, the air becomes thinner, and temperatures drop significantly.

  • Kohala Coast (Pass By)

    The Kohala Coast is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, and scenic views. The area has a drier climate compared to other parts of the island, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and exploring places like Mauna Kea, which is nearby.

    Hilo, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, boasts a rich history and vibrant cultural scene. The town features attractions such as the Lyman Museum, which showcases Hawaii’s natural and cultural history, and the Hilo Historic District, where visitors can explore preserved early 20th-century buildings. Additionally, the Pacific Tsunami Museum offers insights into the impact of tsunamis on the region, while Liliuokalani Gardens provides a serene setting to honor Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani. The Hilo Farmers Market, though not historical, is a lively hub that reflects local culture and history through its diverse range of goods and produce. These elements together make Hilo a fascinating destination for those interested in Hawaii’s heritage and natural beauty.

Fabulous day!

Published on Jan, 2025

What a wonderful adventure! Henry provided interesting and informative commentary throughout, and kept us all safe and happy. We visited all stops on the itinerary, plus a few extra. It was so nice to have everything planned out and pre-arranged- all I had to do was relax and enjoy. I do recommend taking the short hike (.4 mi) from the visitor center to the steam vents at the volcano.

Felix was a great guide...

Published on Jan, 2025

Felix was a great guide and the tour covered numerous different kinds of stops. It was and "Easy" level tour, as advertised, for which I was grateful as I was doing it with a recent knee injury. Volcanoes National Park is worth the visit all by itself.
