Volcano Park Unveiled - Ultimate Kilauea Volcano Tour & Private Golden Lava TubeSALE
Instant Confirmation
Embark on a in-depth exploration on the natural and cultural history of the recent volcanic eruptions. Hike around the now-reopened Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and visit a private lava tube cave with unique golden-colored walls.
See Volcanoes National Park like never before with the certified nature guides from Hawaii Forest & Trail! Visit the Kilauea Crater, dramatically transformed by the recent lava flows to Fissure 8 and violent seismic activity in the area. This tour includes 2-3 miles of hiking around the park to explore on foot and get up close to the volcanic landscape. Your guide will explain what happened to the park and what it was like before it was forced to close in April 2018. The last part of your tour involves visiting a unique lava tube with bright yellow walls, found on private property that only Hawaii Forest & Trail has access to. This unique natural wonder is the perfect way to end your volcano tour on the Big Island!
