Maui and the Big Island Day Tours from Oahu
Filed under: Big Island, Big Island Activities, Maui, Maui Activities, Vacation Planning
I have seen that I can get cheap inter-island flights via “I flygo Airlines”. I will be staying in Oahu and want to visit a few islands for a day each.
I want to know if I visit Maui, or another island, how easy is it to get from the airport to a day tour. Is there somewhere that I can book a day tour that will pick us up from Maui airport and take us on the island ‘tour’.
I am mainly interested in Maui and the best island to see volcanos (which island would that be?)
Thanks, Vicki (Australia)
Hi Vicki,
The active volcano is on the Big Island, so it appears you would most like to visit Maui and the Big Island and you would like to use Go! airlines to defray some of the cost of this.
Several companies offer big and small bus and shuttle tours on these islands. If you are going to see a specific attraction, such as Kilauea Volcano, you will probably be able to find a company that will also shuttle you to and from the airport or just pick you up there if you book your own flight. If, however, you are going to do a “circle island tour” or just a general sightseeing tour, you may find it easiest to book your airfare through the tour company, and they may or may not (most likely not) use Go! airlines. I, by the way, have flown on all three inter-island carriers and Go! is my definite favorite at this time for the great prices and the short lines.
So, here’s some places to look for tour booking for island and volcano tours on Maui and the Big Island:
- Hawaii Active – general booking of several tours
- Paradise Excursions a 5 hour tour that does the up-mountain volcano stuff (no lava flow walk)
- Viator booking of a tour This appears to also be through Paradise excursions, but I can’t find it on their site, and it includes a trip down to the lava flow area
- Lava Tours – pretty complete volcano tour.
- Guides of Maui Land Tours
- Roberts of Hawaii Magnificent Maui Tour
- Roberts of Hawaii Maui Tour from Oahu
I hope you find one or two that you like Vicki! Have a great time! Come back and tell us how it went – I’d love to hear which ones you did and how you liked them. Aloha, Lisa
