Description

Travel to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in comfort on this half-day Volcano Shuttle Tour, featuring exclusive pickup from North Hawaii resorts. Luxury transportation, a scenic return via Saddle Road, and knowledgeable local guides create a seamless and relaxed sightseeing experience.

Designed specifically for guests staying in North Hawaii, this tour offers an easy and efficient way to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in just half a day. Park admission, refreshments, and round-trip transportation are included, allowing you to focus entirely on the island's dramatic landscapes and natural wonders.

The morning begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or resort. As the drive unfolds, coastal views transition into rolling mountains and lush scenery before arriving in the historic town of Hilo for a brief rest stop. From there, the journey continues into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its steaming earth, mineral-rich air, and vast volcanic craters that reveal the island's ongoing geological story.

While exploring the park, learn how volcanic activity has shaped Hawaii's land, culture, and history. Standing near former lava flows and active steam vents offers a powerful perspective on the forces that continue to shape the islands.

The return trip follows Saddle Road, where sweeping views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa dominate the landscape. A short stop along the way provides time to stretch before the relaxing ride back to your resort.
