This is a special tour for people who would like to spend more time at the Volcanoes National Park on a guided
tour. After flying on jet service from Honolulu, the tour originates in Hilo
for a scenic tour past waterfalls and beautiful gardens before climbing up to "Pele's playground" (the Hawaiian fire goddess) on this in-depth tour of Volcanoes National Park. During the day we also visit a Macadamia Nut factory and the beautiful Rainbow Falls Friendly, knowledgeable drivers conduct tours on comfortable air-conditioned mini-buses. A sweater and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
