We offer reviews of the Best Hawaii Tours & Activities, browse around and take a look!

By land or by sea? By air? Which is the best way to see Hawaii? There is no answer that really is right. They are all great ways to see the island of Hawaii. It is a hard choice to make – land, sea or air. However there are many land tours and you should fit at least one into your Hawaiian adventure. But that is the easy part of the decision. Now for the real toughie…which of these land tours appeals to you immediately?

  • A rainforest tour showing the most exotic and tropical jungles of the Hawaiian Islands.
  • A volcano tour where the volcanoes in various stages of dormancy and activity reveal how Hawaii was created. Hint: You can see a real volcano eruption.
  • A sunrise tour with a sunrise like no other sunrise you have ever seen.
  • A nature tour where you witness mountains, valleys, waterfalls, and rivers.
  • A history tour where you can see anything from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Polynesian Cultural Center, or something like Mount Kilauea.

Since it is not possible to describe all of these tours, let us take a look at Mount Kilauea. It is active and is in a constant state of eruption. It is one of the largest, if not the largest, active volcanoes on earth. The word Kilauea means “spreading” and that is what it has been doing for generations. It increases the size of the Big Island about 40 acres annually. Historically this is where the Goddess Pele lives and was worshipping until the missionaries came to Hawaii in 1823 and dismissed this religious concept. People worshipped Pele for expanding their island.

Some other suggestions are the nature preserves. Here are some of the most famous.

  • Alakai Swamp Wilderness Preserve is in the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve and only accessible by trail off Hwy 550. The Alakai Swamp used to be a crater at the top of Mt. Waialeale.
  • Haena State Park offers ancient, wet sea caves created when the sea was higher. Pele is credited for having dug these caves when she first came to Hawaii and was looking for a home. There is swimming here at Kee Beach.

Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge is in the Hanalei Valley protects Hawaiian waterbirds, such as the Hawaiian duck, coot, moorhen, and stilt. It is also a natural place to grow the traditional taro crop.
