Hilo Adventure Tours

Arnott's Famous Hawaii Adventures

Hilo adventure tours were born when Doug visited Cairns, Australia, and South Island, New Zealand; he saw this type of adventure and realized there was nothing like it in Hawaii.

  • We Offer Hawaii Ecotourism Adventure Tours
  • Arnott's Famous Adventures take you off the beaten path to the most amazing and beautiful places on the Big Island.
  • These are not tours in big 50 passenger luxury coaches.  These tours are in individual SUVs or 14-passenger vans.
  • Our tours offer a variety of physical activity. If you enjoy hiking rugged terrain or seeing endless vistas from mountain tops you'll enjoy our adventures!
  • Check out our regular schedule below. Please note that we may offer other tours during the summer than are pictured here. We also occasionally offer a Mauna Kea Daytime tour as a special occurrence. Our Mauna Kea Summit tour is available on a regular schedule, and our other tours may be available as private tours only at this time. Please inquire if you are interested in a private tour.
