Description

Discover the raw power and beauty of Hawaii’s volcanic terrain on this full-day hiking tour from Hilo. The Elite Volcano Hike includes round-trip hotel transportation and a guided journey through some of the Big Island’s most dramatic and historic volcanic sites.

Begin your adventure at the Kaumana Caves, a lava tube that once channeled molten rock just outside downtown Hilo. Continue to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where a guided three-mile hike along the Halema?uma?u Trail brings you to the caldera floor, reshaped by Kilauea’s 2018 eruption. Walk in the footsteps of early explorers, including Mark Twain, while taking in ancient forests, native birds, and towering volcanic boulders.

Highlights include sweeping views from Byron Ledge, a walk past hardened lava lakes and ?ohi?a lehua groves, and stops at Mauna Ulu’s otherworldly lava flows. Explore hidden features like the rainforest-fringed Nahuku lava tube, then relax over dinner in Volcano Village. Weather permitting, end the day with a view of Kilauea’s glowing crater.
