Big Island Grand Circle Tour Compare and choose your favorite package option below:

 

Join Polynesian Adventure Tours as you circle the Big Island of Hawaii, the largest of these Hawaiian Isles, on a sightseeing tour featuring an amazing array of breathtaking scenery – exotic black sand beaches, lush, tropical rainforest teeming with local flowers, the rolling green pastures of cattle country, and even the stark, volcanic landscape of Kilauea where glowing, red-hot lava flows into the big, blue Pacific Ocean!

Polynesian Adventure Tours takes sightseeing to a whole new level with their roomy, not to mention comfy, “Big Window” Premier Mini Coaches that offer sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding scenery! (It’s a Big Island, so there’s plenty of scenery to enjoy!)

All total, the Big Island Grand Circle Tour is a whopping 260 miles roundtrip, but don’t worry, there are plenty of stops along the way, and with the friendly folks at PolyAd providing info on all of the cool, fascinating sites along the way, the trip is anything but dull!

First up, you’ll follow the south Kona coast, where you’ll have a chance to view Kealakekua Bay (where European explorers first came into contact with the Hawaiian people) as well as the famous black sand beaches of the Big Island!

You’ll visit a Kona coffee plantation where you’ll sample a few of the local brews, then it’s off to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (the price of admission’s included) where you’ll get to see Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes! The view from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is something else!

After the barren, volcanic landscape of Kilauea, a slight change of scenery is in order – you’ll stop off at a local orchid and anthurium nursery where you’ll discover just why the Big Island is also known as the Orchid Isle! Your tour guides will take you past Parker Ranch, one of the largest cattle ranches in the States and home of the original Hawaiian cowboys, the paniolos!

Finally, your journey wraps up with a tour of the Hamakua coast and the many gorgeous, cascading waterfalls (including Akaka Falls pictured above) found on the northern side of the island.

Take in all the natural beauty, wonder, and majesty of the Big Island of Hawaii with Polynesian Adventure Tours’ friendly and knowledgeable tour guides behind the wheel!
