Private Hilo Shore Excursion Waterfalls and Botanical Garden

About this activity

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. Wind through the lush, canopy-covered Pepeekeo Scenic Drive in your own private vehicle before exploring the world-renowned Hawai'i Tropical Botanical Garden — a 40-acre sanctuary home to over 2,000 species of rare tropical plants along scenic Onomea Bay. 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.
