Frequently Asked Questions
While we can usually accommodate most last-minute bookings, we highly encourage those that are checking out our website far in advance to book 2-3 weeks prior to desired date. You never know if there's a convention, special event, or a increase in overall visitors in town, and it would be a shame if the activities that you want to do are sold out because you waited until the last minute. Basically, if you know you want to do it, just book it!
Most companies have a set of centrally located hotels that they do pick ups from. Since Waikiki is a very small area, if they do not pick up at your hotel, it will be from another one that will be a 3-5 minute walk. This makes the pickup process short so you can start the tour as soon as possible!

From the moment you begin considering Discover Hawaii Tours to your final drop-off with our tour guides, we go to great lengths to make sure your day is worry-free and that you get to experience the best of Hawaii. Our tours operate in smaller buses, allowing for more stops, getting you closer to the best spots, and giving you a more intimate experience.
Our tours are conducted in 25-passenger mini-coach tour buses with Discover Hawaii Tours logos on the sides. Our friendly expert guides are dressed in red polo-style shirts with our logo and black slacks. Upon arrival to Hilo, guests will be met outside of the baggage claim terminal by the Discover Hawaii Tour Bus (White mini coach with red letters) Look for a Discover Hawaii Tour guide wearing a red polo shirt and black slacks.

At this time, our vehicles can accommodate collapsible wheelchairs only. We do not have a wheelchair lift. We ask that you let us know at the time of booking your tour that you will be traveling with a collapsible wheelchair so that we are able to make sure you are fully accommodated.

Yes, we have scheduled bathroom stops along the routes that coincide with scenic lookouts, beaches, and other stops and attractions throughout your tour.

For your safety, please check with your doctor and find out if there are any limitations to your touring. Some sites have more medical concerns than others, like the Volcano on the Big Island, so be sure to find out of any restrictions you may have and we need to be aware of.
Yes, we have been working successfully with travelers of all ages since our inception and we wouldn't have it any other way! We do ask parents to keep their children under control at all times for the child’s safety and the enjoyment of others. Hiking tours are not recommended for infants, toddlers, and seniors who may have trouble climbing uneven terrain.
Crater Rim Dr. has been closed indefinitely due to dangerous fumes and ashfall from the vents. The tour does take you to the overlook of the Halema’uma’u Crater.
As far as getting close to the volcano (the entire island is basically a volcano), if you mean active lava the answer is not close at all as it would be dangerous and not allowed by the park. This will take you inside Volcano National Park and check out various areas including those affected by the new eruptions in 2018. If you are trying to see active lava flow the best chance for that is to do this tour with the helicopter option, but its not a guarantee as conditions change frequently.
No you will not see any flowing lava on this tour, the best option for that (still not a guarantee) would be to do the tour with the helicopter option. The main spots that are no longer accessible/limited accessibility are jaggar museum, visitor center, crater road, and thurston lava tube.
