An in-depth volcano experience on the Island of Hawaii by your National Park Certified Guide will share a mix of natural and cultural history about the island’s formation, illuminating the stories behind the ever-changing landscape of our island home. 

The Kīlauea volcano is currently erupting starting on December 23rd, 2024. Lava and night-time glow is visible from many overlooks. Volcanic conditions can change at any time.
 

What to Expect

The tour begins from one of our various pick up points in Kona, Waikoloa, and Kohala Coast resorts. From there we enjoy a scenic ride up the coastline through the quaint towns of Captain Cook, Naalehu, and Pahala. We arrive at the Volcano National Park to enjoy a day in nature.

Now the adventure begins! On this in-depth park experience, your interpretive guide will illuminate the historical events that changed the landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We then enjoy 2-3 miles of hiking around the park’s dynamic terrain.

For a grande finale, we’ll also visit a large private lava tube known for its bright yellow and gold microbial mats living on the cave walls. This lava tube is only accessible to our guests.
