FAQs/How does it work?

• How close will we get to the active lava? Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on earth, the eruption sights can change from time to time, and as of now the best way to see active lava is at Halemaumau Crater. There are many different lookouts around the park. On the day of your visit, ask a park ranger where is the best spot to watch the eruption from a safe distance based on the conditions.
• Are the trails difficult or suitable for any cyclist? The tour courses at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are moderate-level and are suitable for recreational cyclists. All cyclists are required to have the ability to ride a bicycle confidently, beginners are not allowed. All cyclists are encouraged to bike at their own pace.
• What is the terrain like on the bicycle tours? The terrains at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are level around the erupting summit crater of Kilauea Volcano and then slope downhill when we enter the native Hawaiian rainforest area. There are a few short hills on the tour course and a long hill on the return to the headquarters, which is easily manageable with the e-bikes.
