Discover the source of Hawai’i Island’s creation at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park! Explore cascading waterfalls, craters, and the tsunami-stricken city of Hilo on this comprehensive volcano adventure tour. Bear witness to the 2018 eruption that drastically altered the island’s landscape. Peer into the depths of Halemaumau Crater which has remarkably doubled in size and watch steam clouds form as ground water seeps onto hot volcanic rock at the famous Steam Vents.

Enjoy an included lunch. Marvel at not one by two spectacular waterfalls – Rainbow and Akaka Falls. Gaze at sweeping coastal views at Kealakomo Overlook where older lava flows melted into the ocean. Drive down scenic Chain of Craters Road.

Please Note:  Guests will get up close to the Kilauea summit eruption happening right now within Halema’uma’u crater. *
Geologists surveying the eruption in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park report the height of the lava fountains is consistently about 33-50 feet high and 30+ feet of lava has been added to the crater floor since June 7th, 2023.
