Embark on a private Big Island quest from Hilo, chasing waterfalls, rare botanical wonders, and hidden villages, all at your own pace - from Rainbow Falls to Coconut Island, every stop promises a new thrill in paradise.
Discover the wild beauty of the Big Island on an exclusive, private shore excursion from Hilo tailored completely to your group's pace. Your private adventure begins at the legendary Rainbow Falls, where an 80-foot waterfall plunges over an ancient lava cave.

Enjoy the flexibility of a private itinerary as you stop in the charming plantation village of Historic Honomu Town for a leisurely stroll and local treats, then witness the breathtaking 442-foot free-fall of ʻAkaka Falls. Conclude your personalized day at Liliʻuokalani Japanese Gardens — the largest authentic Edo-style garden outside of Japan — and cross the footbridge to Coconut Island for stunning panoramic views of Hilo Bay.
