The recent eruptions of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have captured the world’s imagination. This narrated volcano excursion features a hike over the lava flow that covered the village of Kalapana and famous Kaimu black sand beach in the 1980’s. You will experience a short walk out to the newest accessible black sand beach which takes you over an area that was once the ocean. Look to the east and see the slopes of Volcanoes National Park where, if there is any surface lava flow, you may see steam or lava coming down towards the sea. You will explore Volcanoes National Park, Jagger Museum, Thurston Lava Tube, Kilauea Iki Crater. You will visit a colorful anthurium and orchid nursery to discover the beauty of these exotic blooms.

This tour departs Waikiki at approximately 4:30 am and returns at approximately 8:30 pm. No-host food and beverage stops are made available during the day.
This tour can involve hiking of up to a mile to see the lava flow. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes as this tour traverses sharp, uneven lava surfaces.
