Your tour begins at the Cruise Ship pier where your experienced driver and guide will meet and greet you. You will learn about the Big Island of Hawaii and about the Hilo area as you make your way to Liliuokalani Gardens. A short drive around will allow you to see the beautiful foliage as your guide shares some information about the gardens and the tropical plants.
Next you will head to Rainbow Falls to witness the resounding and deafening sound of the 80-foot waterfall as it rushes into a large pool below, almost 100 feet in width. The striking gorge is blanketed by lush, dense tropical foliage. After viewing the falls, you will head to the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center to experience a full-dome planetarium show, amazing space voyage and Hawaiian sound and light show. Also, enjoy a self-guided tour of the exhibits and learn about the Hawaiian Culture in the context of astronomy, wayfinding, & science.
Afterwards, stop at Big Island Candies where you’ll indulge in hand made Hawaiian treats and 100% Kona Coffee before returning to your awaiting ship.
