Explore Hawaii’s explosive side on this guided hiking excursion into the Big Island’s most fascinating volcanic scenery!
Discover the Big Island’s historic lava flows and tap into some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in Hawaii on this all-day hiking excursion. Meet up with your National Park Service certified guide who will educate you on the volcanology, geology, and history of the various lava flows and flora and fauna that you’ll see along your hike.
Departing from either Hilo or Kona, you will travel to Kaumana Caves, part of the lava tube system that brought lava as close as 1.5 miles from downtown Hilo in 1881. Take a peek inside the dramatic cathedral-like space before heading to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
After a picnic lunch break, you will step over cracks and sink holes left behind by the eruption in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Then take a 2-mile round-trip hike past the famous Sulphur Banks, through ancient forests of tree ferns, down into the Kilauea Caldera where Halema’uma’u Crater opens up before you.
After a day of adventure, return to civilization with a filling dinner in Volcano Village, just outside the National Park. Experience an unforgettable visit to Hawaii with this exciting volcano hiking adventure!
