"Hidden Craters Hike"

I had such an amazing experience on the Hidden Craters Hike. From hiking up the slopes of Hualalai, climbing down into a lava tube, the birds, Ohia and Koa trees to the cloud forest and descending down the whole trips was breathtaking and so tranquil. Mel was such an awesome guide. She was so knowledgeable, respectful to the Hawaiian culture and conscious of the preservation of the land and birds. I would highly recommend this tour.

"Beyond our expectations!!!"

This was, by far, one of the best activities we have done on the Big Island! We have hiked Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on our own but having a guided tour of Hualalai made the experience even more spectacular. We would recommend this hike to anyone who is truly interested in the history, geography and cultural background of the Big Island.
