Four Seasons Resort Hualalai has a Big Island adventure tour that costs $39,500

Spoiler alert: It’s probably the best, most epic, most personalized Big Island tour ever.

Let’s just get this out of the way now: $39,500 is a lot of money. For the majority of us, it’s an impossible amount to spend on travel and leisure. But if you have the means, and you fancy yourself being whisked away by helicopter to the most stunning and remote locations on Hawaii Island—think late-in-the-season, final-three, one-on-one dates on the Bachelor or Bachelorette—the Ultimate Pop-Up Volcano Adventure is in a category all its own.

The 27-hour excursion is limited to four passengers and is only being offered through 2018, so if you’re the kind of person who’s really considering this, do it now, or forever hold your peace. I know I would.

As for the rest of us, there’s a localism that goes: If can, can. If no can, no can. It’s kind of a crude way to remind yourself of your personal limits, whatever they may be, and to accept them. In the case of the Four Seasons Hualalai’s Ultimate Pop-Up Volcano Adventure, I say: If can, can. If no can, drool over the awesome pictures, video and itinerary.
