Circle Island Volcano Excursion

Highlights / General details

Sit back in air-conditioned comfort, listen to the rich narration and survey the multitude of marvels Hawaii has to offer. Your 260-mile odyssey begins with a visit to Kilauea Volcano where sulfurous steam billowing out from deep fissures in the earth recreates a primeval setting. A cruise through Hilo Town, the floral center of the islands, displays vast fields of colorful orchids and vibrant anthuriums. A stop will be made at the Akatsuka Nursery and Big Island Candies. Time permitting; you’ll view delicate fans of sun-streaked rainbows hovering over Rainbow Falls as it plunges 80 feet over a volcanic cliff. A final jaunt past the sugar cane fields of the Hamakua coastline will bring you to Parker Ranch for some “Old West” flavor done Hawaiian style. A no-host lunch stop will be made along the way.
