Beautiful lush rainforest, towering waterfalls, and stunning active volcanoes; this tour takes you to both these spectacular destinations on this cruise ship guest shore excursion. Start by visiting the Wailuku River State Park in Hilo and then explore Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park! The beautiful and lush Wailuku River cascades right through the old town portions of Hilo and is home to two iconic waterfalls, Rainbows Falls and Boiling Pots. Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. This iconic park encompasses the summit of two of the world's most active volcanoes, extends from sea level up to the summit of Mauna Loa at 13, 677 feet, and is home to critically endangered wildlife and some of the most unique geological, biological and cultural landscapes on earth. Listen to guided interpretation throughout the day as you learn all about the natural wonders, endemic wildlife, and rich cultural history.
- After pickup at the Hilo cruise ship terminal, it is a short drive to our first stop at iconic Wailuku River State Park. Here we will take in the majestic beauty of Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots. A rainbow often forms in the waterfall's mist in the early morning hours. - Next, we will venture over to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. We will stop in the town of Volcano and pickup some lunch for us to enjoy inside the park. Upon entering the park, enjoy a walk along the rim Halema'uma'u Crater for unique views of the current eruption. Collapses at Halema'uma'u in 2018 nearly doubled the crater's size. See the natural steam vents at Wahinekapu Steaming Bluff. Here, heated groundwater escapes from cracks in the earth as steam. From there, take a short guided walk and experience the massive Thurston lava tube which is 600 feet long and over 20 feet tall in some places. Additional stops in the Park can include: Ha'akulamanu sulphur banks, Maunaulu lava field, Kilauea Iki, Pauahi Crater, and Devastation Trail.
