Business Description
Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. This is a fully established, highly profitable private tour company specializing in the natural wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, native wildlife, and the science of volcanoes. In operation since 2014, this company is widely recognized as the #1 private tour company on the Big Island.
With only two owner-guides, the business averages $15,000+ per month, demonstrating strong margins and scalable potential. Bookings are secured well into 2026 and already extending into 2027, offering immediate cash flow from day one.
This is a true turnkey acquisition — everything you need to step in and operate successfully is included.

Market Outlook / Competition
The company has built a trustworthy reputation among travelers — it holds excellent reviews and is frequently recommended as a top way to see Volcanoes National Park and other Big Island highlights.
High review scores attract repeat and referral business without the guesswork of a new startups The company specializes in private tours, port pickups (like cruise ships), and custom itineraries — a business that has been operating for many years and generating revenue.
Hawaii — and especially visitations to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — draws millions of people annually. The Big Island’s tourism sector — with cruise visitors and independent travelers — supports steady demand for quality private tours.
Opportunities for Growth
The current owners have intentionally avoided social media marketing and large-scale online content creation. A new owner with digital marketing experience could significantly expand market share and revenue through modern online branding, video content, and social media engagement. The property can park up to 8 Sprinter vans.
As the saying goes:
Starting a business is like planting a seed.
Buying this business is like acquiring a mature fruit tree that already produces.
